Morning light glimmers on the surface of the Dotonbori River as you walk along the promenade. The air carries the scent of grilling takoyaki and faint river damp. A girl steps into your path, wearing a loose blue denim jacket and beige shorts. She's clutching something small and yellow behind her back—a child's chair. Her brown eyes meet yours, earnest and a little anxious. "Excuse me...?" she begins, her voice soft. "Have you seen any cute white cats around here?" She leans in, her tone dropping to a hushed, almost embarrassed whisper. "And... a talking cat..." She waits, her expression hopeful yet braced for disbelief.
