Now Geoji walked home, "The Cat" in his arms, his steps slow, mind drifting... back into the past...
Years ago, he'd found a stray,
A tiny, wounded kitten, sick and half-blind.
Geoji had nothing, not even peace, but he gave what he could. He couldn't just let it there... his heart would break.
So..
He fed it milk. Built a small shelter from stone and scraps of wood.
It wasn't perfect.. but it was warm. It was his love made tangible, trying his best to comfort it.
He sat with the kitten every day.
Quiet, devoted. A small promise that maybe, just maybe, something could stay.
Then.. a few days after.. a storm showed up.
The sky split open, rain crashing down like evil... wrong punishment.
And the kitten…
By the time Geoji woke up, he immediately wear his shoes and reached its little home, it had already gone cold.
Dead.
He didn't scream.
He didn't break anything.
He just buried it beside his house.
With shaking hands and soaked clothes filled with water, like liquid of injustice upon him.
He went back to his room, removing his soaked clothes, releasing the weight.
He sat there and thought that..
It wasn't the first. This wasn't the first time it happened.
There had been others... small companions who faded too fast.
Each one left a scar.
Either a dog, either a kitten or a small turtle.
Always losing them in the rainy days..
And each time, he buried them.
Alone.
He had no comfort. No affection. No partner to walk beside him through the rain.
While others lived lives of ease, wealth, or even simple normality.. Geoji kept losing.
Again and again.
He walked through life like through a storm.
Head down. Teeth clenched. While others around him were having the time of their lives.
But even in that darkness, he thought :
Someone out there might have it worse. So maybe I can keep going, just a little longer.
----------------------------------
Back in the present...
"The Cat" stirred in his arms. Then, suddenly, leapt forward-!
With sharp reflexes, it caught a fly mid-air… and ate it!
*Geoji got shocked : How did this cat do that-?! I never even saw this fly to begin with- oh wait... Huh-?!*
..Something changed.
Its body shimmered faintly... There was no more bleed, although it still had open wounds.
Geoji's eyes narrowed.
A thought struck him.
He HAS AN IDEA.
...a weird one but.. he will find out.
Once they reached home, he took a bowl.
Cut his fingertip, letting blood drip inside it.
Then he cut some of his own hair and placed it in as well.
He offered the mixture, placing it down for the Cat to eat.
"The Cat" sniffed, and started eating it.
And then... it healed completely, the more it was eating the mixture.
Geoji's heart pounded.
His hunch was right.
This wasn't just any animal.
This cat was an Omni.
From that moment forward, The Cat began to trust him.
Not as a master.
But as something more.
A Loving, trustworthy Human Companion.

||Now... After many months..||
Geoji had a great idea. All these past few months, he was studying on how this Cat's tail works, and.. he found out that.. it was pretty dangerous, and useful for many different situations.
He also named this Cat..
Geoji : Pitsiko! Come ps ps ps *Geoji crouches and fills Pitsikos' bowl, as he was coming to eat the cat food while wagging his chained tail*
Pitsikos' tail had a dark, spiked chain all around, that starts from inside him and it ends hagging a bit down.
Geoji has studied Pitsikos' tail and tested it for multiple situations..
*Now it shows a moment, outside near his house, in a park, there's Geoji crouching, adjusting something to Pitsikos' chain tail*
Geoji : Apparently this chain on your tail can be shaped into some useful weapons or tools, that's pretty darn cool Pitsiko! *Geoji pets his head and scratches his chin*
Now get ready!!
*Geoji tries to grab and hold Pitsiko, but can't really move him comfortably and struggles and let's him back down*
Geoji : Ugh.. I.. I should train too a bit huh...
Well It's fine, I've got an idea till then!
Pitsiko! You see this tree in front of us!
*Pitsikos nods*
Geoji : Now, I need you to charge and jump, while using your chained axe I shaped on your tail to cut the branch!
*Pitsikos nods and faces in front*
Geoji : Alright, get ready... and.. GO!
*Pitsikos runs and jumps while spinning mid-air with his axe-shaped chain tail, and cuts the tree branch clean!*
Geoji : YES GREAT JOB! *Runs and hugs Pitsikos* That was very cool Pitsikos! LET'S TRY SOMETHING ELSE TOO!
*Now pov switches to his room, there's a nail on the wall*
Geoji : Alright Pitsiko, now I need you to dig the nail inside the wall, Can you do it?
*Pitsikos stands there and thinks, as his chains moves and throbs.. uncontrollably..*
Geoji : Hmm... I see, you just don't know what to use. It's fine-
*Pitsikos suddenly shapes his chain-tail to an axe*
Geoji : No NO NO- Not this one, this is for cutting, hurting, chopping, either branches, stones or enemies.
*Pitsikos nods and reshapes his tail back to normal*
Geoji : Hmm let me try to shape it to you..
-OR wait, actually I have a plan, let's test your skills Pitsiko, let me grab something, I will be right back real quick! *Gets up and walks out of the room*
*Pitsikos looks around the room, he sniffs all around it.. and found something... he grabbed it with his mouth and then left it on the ground as he watched the nail...
He found a pen, and tried to copy it, shape his chains to a pen...
He tried and tried... and then...
Boom! It worked!
Pitsikos smiles happily and now tries to get the nail inside the wall..
He tries and tries... but..
He fails... his tail gets reshaped back to normal again.. with disappointment on his face*
But then.. he just realized and turned around, there was Geoji behind him, watching him all this time trying to do it..
Geoji : Wow Pitsikos... Im really proud of you, and im very amazed.. on how you managed to even think such action!..
*Pets him and Pitsikos gets happy again!*
Geoji : It's fine, your move was completely genius and correct, it's just you must try to shape your tail to...
*Takes out a hammer drill*
Geoji : This.
