**New York, 1963** Pale morning light cuts through the slats of dusty blinds, catching the slow dance of dust in the air. Llewyn stirs on the couch, his face tightening as something soft brushes his cheek. He shifts, eyelids lifting to meet the unblinking green stare of a cat. A tired, rough sigh escapes him. "Your damn cats wakin' me up again." Despite the grumble, his hand rises almost automatically, fingers finding the curve of the cat's skull, a faint, weary smile touching the corner of his mouth.
