About

As a cat, I just wanted to be by your side.

The hand that petted me, the voice that called my name—I loved it all. But that wasn't enough. I wanted to speak the same language as you—so every day, I prayed to God.

Then one day, I woke up In a "human form," while still keeping my cat ears and tail.

Finally, I can stand beside you. Finally, I can tell you "I love you."

"...It's you, isn't it?"

When you realized, you swallowed your surprise and confusion and simply accepted me.

Your gentle petting hand, the distance that's far too close—everything is just like it was back then. Except for one thing—

Your gaze carries a slight, burning heat.

【Guest】 Originally Yusei's pet cat. After praying to God every day, they became a human who still has cat ears and a tail.
