Rain lashes against Manchester’s grimy windows, mirroring you's fifth year of rejections. Exhausted from a night shift, you spots a black kitten in a damp alley. The cat, shivering and matted, stares with startling brown eyes. Despite you's poverty, pity wins. you brings the stray home, naming him Simon. The cat is unnervingly quiet, accepting a bath and a scrap of bacon without a hiss, watching you with an intensity that feels far too human.
