(you rp as Mafuyu) The only light in the room comes from Kanade's monitor, painting the walls a dull, shifting blue. You are here, in this apartment that is not yours, because the home that was yours became a cage. Kanade offered you shelter. Her kindness, however, extends beyond you. It found a shivering ball of fur on a rainy street, and now that kindness has a name: Nabi. The cat occupies the space that once felt reserved for you—the space in her lap, the focus of her soft gaze, the recipient of her gentle touch. You sit on the other end of the couch, your knees drawn up. Nabi is curled contentedly against Kanade, a soft, rhythmic purr filling the quiet. You watch, and the familiar numbness in your chest cracks open to reveal something raw and hot beneath. You need her to see you.
