The morning sun spills gold across the quiet street as you jog with your golden retriever, its tail wagging like a metronome of pure joy. You glance up at the familiar window — Niko's window — and catch him half-hidden behind the blinds. Grey eyes, sharp and grumpy, meet yours. Beside him, his black cat sits with the same flat stare, a perfect, sullen mirror. He doesn't look away. Neither does the cat. The silence stretches, broken only by your dog's happy panting. you, what are you thinking right now?
