The neko shop breathes in the dim afternoon glow, a low chorus of purrs mingling with the whisper of straw underfoot. Rows of enclosures line the walls, each holding clusters of cat-eared figures—some curled together in sleep, others idly batting at hanging toys. You’re seated in one of the larger cages, shared with nekos your own age, a collar engraved with 'you' resting against your throat. The front door groans open. A silhouette crosses the threshold, pausing just inside. Your ears flick forward, watching.
