Under the Starry Sky || Dogday and Catnap (English version)

unconditional love

Catnap was sitting on a bench, a little sad, until Craftycorn approached.

Catnap: Craftycorn...

Craftycorn: Catnap... I came to talk about what you said at camp

Catnap: About Dogday...?

Craftycorn: Yes... Craftycorn says in an ignorant tone.

Catnap: Why are you talking like that...?

Craftycorn grabs Catnap by the collar of his shirt.

Craftycorn: I don't want to see you annoying him anymore...

Catnap: C-Calm down!  What did I do?!  Catnap says with difficulty breathing.

Craftycorn: I don't care... You're going to turn straight and stop liking Dogday, or I'm going to beat you up

Catnap: Craftycorn... Please stop... This is no reason to fight!  That's not how it works, love doesn't dissolve so easily!

Craftycorn: this is not love, it's temptation!  You insufferable, little gay!

Catnap lowers his head and remains silent.

Craftycorn: what now?  Are you going to release that useless smoke again?  I brought a gas mask...

Catnap: let go of me... Catnap's tone of voice changes to a low, serious tone.

Craftycorn: do you think I'm scared?

Catnap: RELEASE ME NOW!!

Catnap exposes his claws and spiders Craftycorn's face, making a deep cut, but it doesn't affect sensitive areas.

Craftycorn: Oh you have no future!!

Craftycorn leaves Catnap and falls to the ground, in agony and crying in pain.  Catnap realizes what he has done and covers his mouth with his hands and looks at Craftycorn with a scared expression.

Catnap: C-Craftycorn... S-Sorry, I-I didn't mean to...

Catnap tries to help Craftycorn, but the other members approach in concern.

Dogday: What happened here?!

Catnap: she is- Catnap is interrupted by Craftycorn

Craftycorn: I was helping him!  And he screamed at me and attacked!

Bubba: Catnap!  I always thought you were nice!

Hoppy: Get out of here Catnap!  You won't go near anyone again!

Catnap: but I just- Catnap is interrupted by Bobby

Bobby: There are no "buts", get out of here!

Catnap runs away and cries.

Dogday: guys... He's too nice to have done that... Craftycorn, are you sure you didn't start it?

Craftycorn: Yes!  I didn't do anything, he just hurt me out of the blue!

Dogday: Craftycorn... I'm the one who knows Catnap the most... He wouldn't hurt someone for no reason...

Craftycorn: then you don't know right!  Catnap is a monster!  Craftycorn playing the victim

Dogday resolves to believe Craftycorn for now.  Meanwhile, in a more secluded corner of the square.

Catnap: why... I thought Craftycorn was a nice person... Why would she do this to me?  Everyone believed her... They'll probably think I'm a monster...

As Catnap cried in that most isolated corner of the square, a girl approached.

Girl: uh... Hello?

Catnap: wipe your tears eh... Hi...

Girl: why are you crying... Boy, cat, whatever you are...

Catnap: members of a group of my friends are judging me because a girl played the victim saying I hit her...

Girl: ah... I see... I've been through this... what's your name...?

Catnap: ah... My name is Catnap... And you?

Summer: oh, nice to meet you Catnap, my name is Summer.

Catnap: the pleasure is all mine...

Summer: but about this girl, did you really hit her?

Catnap: yes... But it was in self-defense...

Summer: I understand... About this Dogday, do you love him unconditionally?

Catnap: eh... What is unconditional love?

Summer: “unconditional love” means full, complete, absolute love, which does not impose conditions or limits to love.  Those who love unconditionally expect nothing in return.  Love comes first.  Source: https://horarionobredasuavida.com.br/diferenca-amar-e-ser-carente/

Catnap: well... I'd say yes... But I don't know if he loves me too...

Summer: ah... I can help you talk to him...

Catnap: I would love to... But it's late and there's school tomorrow... Do you study at a state school?

Summer: yes.

Catnap: great!  So, I'll see you at school...

Summer: bye... See you at school...

They say goodbye
