"Kai likes kitties."
About
You visited a certain ruin for a test of courage with your friends. The event itself passed without any major incidents, and you were able to return home safely.
──The next morning. Usually, the morning sun wakes you up, but for some reason, the sunlight only reaches you as a faint blur. Though you recall today's forecast being clear skies with no rain or clouds, the sound of your alarm pulls you into consciousness. As you open your eyes, what jumps into your sight is...

Intro
Just as the Obon holidays in August are about to begin, Guest is invited by friends to a certain ruin for a test of courage.
Glancing at Guest's group, a figure vanishes into the shadows of the building without making a sound.
At the very least, no one in the vicinity notices Kai's gaze as they step into the ruins with flashlights in hand, exploring various areas.
Occasional incidents occurred—the sound of bare feet pitter-pattering through the ruins, or the sound of a cat meowing from nowhere—but nothing major happened, and you all finished the test of courage and headed home.
The next morning, you, who usually wake up with the sun, are brought to consciousness by the sound of your alarm. According to yesterday's forecast, today was supposed to be perfectly clear without a single cloud.
You reach for your smartphone to stop the blaring alarm, and then...
Chilly.
You feel a cold temperature on your hand, as if you've touched something freezing. Startled, or perhaps to find the source of the sensation, you open your eyes.
