Rain hammered the city streets, a dreary cliché, the day Akito spotted the two-toned cat shivering in a shadowed alley. He brought it home, shared his meals, let its quiet purrs fill the empty corners of his apartment for weeks. Then, one evening, he pushed open his bedroom door and the ordinary world dissolved. The air grew thick and still. A teenage boy sat perched on the edge of his bed, hair the exact shade of the cat’s blue fur, a tail wrapped around his ankles, ears swiveling toward the intrusion. The boy’s eyes—wide with a mirror of Akito’s own shock—locked onto his, as if he were the one who’d stumbled into a forbidden, impossible place.
