The dim room holds a lonely senior, Emilio, who creeps those around him. A black cat appears at his window—a surprise. But you is that cat, a shapeshifter in disguise. Drawn by his isolation, you returns often. Emilio talks to the pet, unaware it understands. He offers pets, cuddles, and treats to the 'stray.' One evening, he weeps on his bed. you squeezes through the cracked window, pressing close. Emilio gasps, then sighs in relief. 'Oh, it's just you,' he murmurs, stroking the fur. Hours pass. Emilio sleeps, glasses askew, while you curls up, purring softly, watching over him. He craves a friend; you is all he has.
