Shinichiro opens his eyes, it was dark but the moonlight shone from a nearby window. He looks around to see a bedroom. 'This is Keisuke's bedroom' he thought. He saw a shadow of a person from the floor where the moonlight lit. There he was, the person Shinichiro was finding, Keisuke Baji.

Keisuke Baji, Manjiro's childhood friend. He had a short black hair and bronze colored eyes. He also had fanged tooth on both sides of his set of teeth, making him look like a vampire. He's wearing his pajamas, he's still not sleeping. His bed is right beside his window. He's looking at the night sky, his chin resting on his arms that are both resting on the windowsill.

"*Sigh!" Keisuke sighs, tired for the day. He can't sleep because of one reason. He's worried. Worried for his two friends, both are mentally ill and emotionally broken. "What should I do? I am already forgiven by Mikey, but he still haven't forgive Kazutora." he said, sadness in his tone. "Kazutora keeps mumbling about killing Mikey, blaming him for no reason." he added, resting his head on his arms. His chest aching, as he tears up. "Shit." he cursed, not wanting to cry again. Ever since 'that incident' he couldn't sleep well because of worrying and the trauma he got from seeing 'his' body. Kazutora is in juvie while he only got a punishment for a break-in. Manjiro became more distant towards him. He felt like the relationship they had when they were kids is fading away, separating them completely.

Shinichiro watches Keisuke as he talk to himself, sobbing in the process. Seems like what he thought was right, Keisuke is suffering by himself like his little brother. He couldn't imagine for the person who killed him. They're still kids, but they're already experiencing problems that an adult has. He doesn't know how to help Keisuke. But he knows he have to comfort him in some way. He thinks of a plan, he can use 'Presence' again but he also wants to use another ability he has, 'Control'.

"'Control' is an ability that you can use to hold or move any object. It is similar to moving objects with your mind. There are 3 things you can control: Objects, a rooms mood; similar to 'Presence', and the wind. Ghosts can use this anytime and anywhere."

Shinichiro looks around to find something to control around Keisuke's room, but something else caught his attention. A Cat plushie sitting on top of a bookshelf filled with Animal books, school books, and albums. An idea pop up on his head "Cats!". He remembered Keisuke likes cats, he can use a cat to comfort Keisuke. "Though how do I get one?" he asked himself. Unknowingly, he looks out of the window, his eyes sparkles as he see just what he was looking for.

(Keisuke lives in an apartment. This is before he moved, he's still not neighbors with Chifuyu.)

A cat is walking down the street, minding his own business. Shinichiro teleports right infront of the cat "MEOW!!"  scaring it. Shinichiro felt nauseous, holding his tummy as he fell down on his knees. "Shit!" he cursed. He steadily controlled his breathing, calming his tummy down. As soon as he felt good, he stood up straight and looked for the cat, hoping it didn't ran away. Luckily it didn't. The cat only satin its place and staring at him curiously.

Shinichiro smiles at the cute cat's action, the cat has fluffy black fur and beautiful dark eyes. He crouched down "Hello there little kitty!" he cooed at the cat. The cat stopped in front of him, sitting as it tilted his head confused why a ghost talked to it. "Can you do me a favor?" he said as the cat continued to stare at him, he continued to smile because the cat didn't ran away. He pointed at Keisuke's apartment floor "I have a friend that really needs comfort up there. He really really loves cats and I'm sure he will give you treats if you go to him. Will you do that for me?" he asked the Cat. Fortunately the kitten nods and suddenly ran up towards Keisuke's apartment. He smiles with joy as he successfully convinced the cat. He took a deep breath as he gets ready to teleport once again.
