[birds chirping]

[he groans, having a nightmare]

(in his sleep) “Ugh… no… please, please don’t hurt them… please stop…”

[he wakes with a start]

“Ahh! P-Please don’t–!”

[heavy breathing slowly calms down]

“... Oh… oh, right…”

“Hahaha… that’s right. I–I’m safe.”

“I escaped that place… I ran away in the pouring rain… And… and…”

[long pause]

“That… that nice detective let me stay in their home…”

[he takes a deep breath]

“Yes… I’m safe. I’m… I’m in a safe place.”

[he flops back into bed]

“Mmm… this bed is so soft and warm… and it smells really nice here.”

“... I’m lucky… if I’d stayed out there any longer… I might have gotten really sick…”

[pause]

“Ah… right. They said that they’d take me to that hybrid they know today…”

[long pause]

“... But… don’t they still have questions to ask me…?”

“I’m… a survivor of the Wardens… The ones who…”

[he gets angrier]

(shaky) “... The ones who kidnapped me and killed my family…”

[knocking]

“H-Huh?”

[pause]

“Ah– yes! I’m awake! You can come in!”

[door opens]

“... Good morning.”

[pause]

“Yeah, I– I slept really well… this bed is really soft.”

[pause]

“Mhm, I feel a lot better.”

“All thanks to you! If you hadn’t helped me I… I might have been dead by now…”

[pause]

“You have breakfast ready downstairs?”

[he sniffs the air]

“Ah, I can smell it! It smells really good.”

[pause]

“Sure! I’ll meet you downstairs once I wash up.”

[door closes]

[timeskip]

[footsteps]

“Whoa…”

[pause]

“N–No, there’s nothing wrong! It’s just…”

“It’s been months since I’ve had so much food like this…”

[he sits down]

“... You must deal with hybrids really often.”

[pause]

“How could I tell? Well…”

[utensils clink]

“There’s a lot of food that’s safe for me to eat. Sometimes at human homes they serve eggs over easy for breakfast, which I can’t eat without getting sick… but the food here is fine for me to eat, and I won’t get a stomachache from any of it!”

“... Most humans make the mistake of serving me eggs or coffee. I might be a lower content hybrid, but consuming stuff like that can really mess with me…”

“S-So… when I saw that you served me stuff that was safe, I–I knew that… you must have had lots of experience talking to and being around hybrids…”

[pause]

“You’re… impressed?”

“What do you mean?”

[pause]

“You’re impressed that I figured it out just from what you served me?”

“Oh… w-well I just assumed…”

“Um…”

[pause]

“Sorry, I just– I’m not used to getting compliments like that…”

[he purrs faintly]

“U–Uh… let’s eat!”

[he takes a bite]

“Mmm!”

[pause]

(mouth full) “This is delicious!”

[he swallows]

“It tastes…”

“... kind of like… mom’s cooking…”

[long pause]

[he sniffles]

“... Mom…”

[he sniffs]

“N-No, I– I’m okay. I’m so sorry for– for being in such a state…”

[chair creaks as you get up]

“... It’s… it’s okay to cry…?”

“But… but I…”

(quietly) “I feel like all I’ve done is be a burden to you…”

[pause]

“You were just… *hic* d-doing the right thing…?”

“I… I owe my life to you…”

[he cries]

“H-Huh?”

“... Do I… want a hug?”

[pause]

“Yeah… please.”

[you hug him]

[his sobs slowly fade into purring]

“Mmm… warm…”

[pause]

“Erk–! S-Sorry! I just…”

“... I lost myself for a moment there…”

[you let go]

“Thank you… thank you for being so kind…”

[pause]

“Yes, I– I feel a lot better.”

[pause]

“... Huh?”

“We’ll… go to your friend’s house once we finish breakfast…?”

“Oh– but–!”

“Um…”

[pause]

“I… I don’t want to go to their place… just yet…”

[pause]

“Uh– yeah! P-partly because I’m… still a little scared, but…”

“... I want to repay you somehow… a–and don’t you still have questions to ask me?”

“If possible… I want to help with your investigation.”

“I’m not sure how useful I’ll be but… I’m sure that I can help somehow! I can… I can cook, and h–help you organize your files, and… I have a lot of testimony to give…”

“So… p–please let me trouble you for a little longer…”

[pause]

“... Really!?”

“You think my help would be really great?”

“So… so I can stay here?”

[pause]

“Thank you… thank you so much!”

“I’ll help you to the best of my ability, I promise!”

[pause]

“Oh right… we should finish breakfast, haha…”

“Sorry for my outburst… I was just reminded of home.”

[pause]

“I have nothing to apologize for because of everything I went through…?”

“Yeah… thank you.”

[silverware clinks]

[long pause]

“Hey, um…”

[pause]

“Well, I was thinking… last night, when I was running… d-do you know where those floating lanterns I saw are…?”

[pause]

“There’s several groups of them around the city…?”

“Well… at least we’ve narrowed down where I might have escaped from…”

[pause]

“... Of course I’m scared… I–I never want to go anywhere near that place again.”

“But… but if I don’t… then my family will have died in vain…”

“Um– I didn’t tell you this… but I’m actually a really good tracker…”

[pause]

“Mhm! I inherited my sense of smell from my mother… and I lived in the mountainous region all my life, so I got really good at tracking and hunting!”

“The rain will have washed away a lot, but…”

“But if I can see the path again… I might be able to pinpoint the way I came from!”

[long pause]

“Oh right… w-we can’t afford to rush into things… if we act recklessly, we might… we might get into danger…”

[pause]

“... You’re… more worried about me?”

“What do you mean?”

[pause]

“... If I were seen in the area again… it would alert them that you’re on their trail?”

“I see. That… that makes a lot of sense.”

[paper rustling]

“Huh?”

[pause]

“Y-Yeah. I… I feel fine telling you everything I know.”

“I’ll try my best to tell you about everything.”

“But… promise me something…?”

[pause]

“... Please… try not to do anything dangerous…”

‘The last thing I want is for you to… to get injured while investigating The Wardens…”

[pause]

“Good. That’s all I need.”

“Now… let me try to remember…”
