Their friends notice the tension right away. Poppy, always the wise observer, decides to step in. She approaches Catnap, finding him curled up in a secluded corner of the factory, his tail twitching with agitation."You know," Poppy begins, sitting beside him, "Dogday isn't upset because of something you did. He's upset because he cares."Catnap stays silent, his ears flicking in annoyance. "I don't want to mess things up. He deserves someone who can match his energy, not someone like me," he mumbles.Poppy tilts her head, her expression soft. "It's not about being the same, Catnap. It's about balance. He loves you for who you are, not who you think you should be."Meanwhile, Huggy Wuggy talks to Dogday. "You and Catnap make a great team, Dogday. But sometimes love is about patience, especially when the person you love is figuring things out."Dogday sighs. "I just wish I knew how to fix it.""You don't have to fix everything," Huggy replies. "Sometimes, all they need is to know you'll be there, no matter what."
