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?
