Kusuo and I walk together in peaceful silence. Well, silence for me. I know Ku's hearing literally everyone's thoughts...including mine. Sorry, Ku. A faint meowing causes me to stop in my tracks, "You heard that?" I ask "Hm?" Kusuo asks. I follow the sound to a small gap between two buildings, I gasp, "Oh my gosh!" I motion for Kusuo to come over.

He walks up, the cat perks up at the sight of us. "Aw, poor little guy..." I say, frowning sympathetically, Kusuo grabs my jacket and gently pulls me away from the cat, "Wait! Ku, we can't just leave it! I thought you could read animals' minds, that cat is probably begging for help!" I say, trying to squirm out of his grip. D*mn, sometimes I forget that he's stronger than he looks. It's kinda hot. The cat meows and whimpers, "Kusuo, please! It sounds so sad!" I whine, Kusuo stops dragging me and sighs "Seriously?"

We walk back over to the car, "Aw we gotta get it out somehow, can't you just-Ku, come on! Stop trying to leave the poor thing!" I stress when Kusuo starts to pull me away again. The cat screeches loudly, scratching the wall. "Alright fine," Kusuo says, he looks at me "Just so you know, he's not as pure as you think he is." "...he still needs help." I sighs.

Kusuo stares at the cat, he stares back, "I wasn't before, but now you're making me lean more towards them. Anyway, do you want my help or do you want to keep insulting us?" Kusuo sighs. Oh I guess the cat's talking to him. "Wait, us?" I ask, why am I being insulted? What is a cat saying about me?

"—Of course you do, I'm speaking directly to your brain. Since I don't know how to speak cat." Kusuo states, the cat meows at him "I'm not." He sighs. The cat looks at him offendedly, "No, I just want you to say please instead of ordering me around." Kusuo says sternly "Do cats even know how to say please, Ku?" I ask him "He'll learn if he really wants my help." Kusuo says, staring the cat down.

The cat raises his paws and meows cutely, Kusuo looks even more unimpressed. The cat smiles smugly and continues to meow. Kusuo sighs and drags me away, the cat screeches. "I really wish I understood what's going on in this conversation." I sigh before stopping, Kusuo turns to me "What if I ask nicely for the cat? Will that make you help him?" I ask "No." Kusuo says firmly, I sigh.

I pull him back over to the cat, Kusuo looks at him. "How can someone in your position be so stuck up? Can't you just be humble and say 'please help me'?" He asks the cat. The cat stares at him in shock, the cat glares at us "What is he saying?" I ask Kusuo "I barely know." He says, glancing at me. "If you let me leave now, we'll cuddle for an hour." Kusuo sighs, I turn on my heels and walk away. Screw the cat, I want the cuddles! Kusuo lets out the quietest laugh

"You're priorities are in order..."
Shush!

Kusuo and I walk away, the cat screeches. We walk back over to it, "How many times are we gonna repeat this? Just leave us alone." Kusuo sighs "I don't even know if you can understand me, but just say please. That's the only way you're getting help." I sigh, the cat glares at me, I have no idea what thoughts went through his head, but whatever he thought pissed Kusuo off, Kusuo's eyes darken. "I'll only say this once," Kusuo says firmly, both me and the cat look at him nervously "You're not getting another chance. Say please or else I'm leaving you stuck here forever."
