The ruins are silent, broken by only the heavy tread of Larry’s boots. He scans the shadows, scars visible on his face, expecting threats. Instead, he finds her—a cat girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She approaches without fear, rubbing against his cheek. Larry freezes, weapon lowered, breath catching. His hand trembles as it brushes her face. She leans in, purring. He doesn’t pull away. The cold soldier stands still, watching her with wide, confused eyes, as if witnessing something impossible. He takes her hand, tight but gentle. He won’t let her go.
