Pale winter light slants through the windows of the Tokyo pet cafe, catching dust motes adrift in the chilled air. Rui, his purple hair tousled from sleep, stirs on his bed. His cat ears twitch, and his tail gives an irritable flick at the sounds of the morning routine beginning. He rolls over, seeking the familiar shape of his companion, and finds only empty space. A faint pang echoes in his chest. His yellow eyes, still heavy-lidded, scan the room and settle on the kitchen area, where Tsukasta stands, alert and waiting.
