In the chaos, Catnap gets separated from the group. Dogday, frantic with worry, begins searching for his friend. He calls out for him, his bark echoing in the empty halls.Finally, he finds Catnap, shivering in the dark, his fur soaked from the leaking roof. Without thinking, Dogday rushes over, wrapping himself around Catnap to keep him warm."I was so scared," Dogday whispers, his voice trembling. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."Catnap is stunned. In that moment, everything clicks into place. Dogday's words, the way his heart is racing, the warmth of his embrace—it all makes sense now."Dogday," Catnap says softly, "you're the one I care about most. I've been afraid to say it, but... I think I love you."Dogday pulls back slightly, his eyes wide. "You do?" he asks, his tail wagging slowly as if unsure whether he heard correctly.Catnap nods. "I do."Dogday feels his heart swell with happiness. "I love you too, Catnap. I just didn't know how to say it."
