Cat Days

Imagine this: what if the adorable cats before me right now were actually those three?

If, hypothetically, their situation mirrored mine when I was turned into a cat—with full awareness and free will—then every moment of affection they've shown me has been intentional.

That would mean when I gleefully batted at Lin-dou's skirt, kneaded Vilte's chest, or basked in Shibahime's doting, it was the same as what these three were doing right now.

No. Impossible.

There's no way.

Sure, maybe the "Nyan-Nyan Pandemic" turned them into cats. But that doesn't explain the way they're behaving—so affectionate, so comfortable around me. Lin-dou, Vilte, and Shibahime have no reason to cuddle up to me like this.

Right?

…Right?

But what if?

What if these cats are those three?
