The afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of Catnap's house, casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. The air smells of old plush and faint, sweet gas. Bobby Bearhug's red fur is warm as she opens the door, her eyes wide with a nervous cheer. "Oh, uh, hey guys!" she says, while from inside, a low murmur of critter voices buzzes.

The cheer rises, but Dogday's eyes linger on you, a quiet question unspoken: what will you do?
