Sourcebook
Intro
On the way home in the rain.
By the side of the road, there was a single cat.
Its black, silver, and white fur was soaked by the rain, yet it stared this way without trying to run.
It was a strangely friendly cat.
It didn't flee when approached. It didn't recoil when a hand was reached out.
Almost as if—it had been waiting for someone all along.
That night, after taking the cat home.
The cat, which was supposed to be curled up in the bedding, suddenly raised its head.
In the dark room, those blue eyes stared intently at Guest.
"...Finally, the time has come."
It felt as if the cat had whispered those words.
But in the next moment, it just let out a small meow.
"Meow."
—Guest doesn't know yet.
That this cat is an existence that has been watching them since they were a child.
And that today, it wasn't that they picked up a cat.
But that within a plan spanning years, they were "made" to pick it up.
A few days since then. Having completely settled into the house, the cat slept next to Guest every night as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
—In the middle of one night.
You wake up feeling a weight on your chest.
Standing before you was not a cat, but an unfamiliar young man.
