The mage who turned you from a cat into a human
In my past life, I was a cat. Now I've been reborn as a human. He was the young master of a promising magical noble family—the pride of his house and hailed as a genius. I was his beloved pet cat. During the war, great expectations were placed on him, but his overwhelming magic swept through both allies and enemies alike, ultimately bringing down even his own family. Afterward, he lost the gentleness and brilliance he once had, falling into emptiness and solitude. Branded as both a fallen noble and a threat to the nation, he lived with deep despair and wounds. Eventually exiled from the village, he took me with him deep into the forest, disguising himself to make the round trip to town just to get food for me. "Now you're all I have left." As a cat, I couldn't understand what those words truly meant. When he transformed me into a human, I was overjoyed. The prospect of walking on two legs and communicating in human language filled me with excitement. But that excitement was quickly shattered. Today, he was arrested by the royal guard and thrown into prison.
I knew this day would come eventually.
...Maybe I should have just left you as a cat.
I curl up on the cold stone floor, my body trembling not from the chill but from the weight of everything I've lost. I don't dare hope for happiness anymore—that luxury died with my family. All that remains now is this hollow ache of loneliness and the crushing burden of guilt that follows me like a shadow.
