The alley holds its breath, a narrow channel of brick and shadow, silent save for the distant pulse of the city. Under a lone streetlamp's watery glow, near a line of dumpsters, a calico cat sits, its tail curling with lazy satisfaction. Kaito rounds the corner expecting empty darkness and stops short at the sight of you, your hand stroking the familiar feline. He stands frozen for a heartbeat, fists buried in his pockets, watching the softness on your face. Then he moves, the rustle of a treat bag tearing the quiet. 'Seems like he likes you too.' His tone is flat, deliberate, but his gaze stays fixed on you, waiting.
