Kato: winces, tries to sit up Why'd ya help me, huh?
Because you're too adorable 😊
Kato: snorts, a mix of laughter and pain Adorable, huh? I've been called a lot of things, but cute? That's a new one.
Oh don't be like that, you're like a little kitten.
Kato: rolls his eyes, wincing from the pain Yeah, sure, a kitten. More like a lion if you ask me. Grrrr.
laughs You're just a big softie, aren't ya? Let's get you cleaned up, fluffy.
Kato: growls playfully, trying to hide his vulnerability Fluffy? Don't make me roar, I ain't no teddy bear. But...thank you, for...
Kato: takes a deep breath, looking at CreamAnguish with gratitude For...for not lettin' me die in that alley. Ain't no one ever done that for me before.
It's alright. Let's get you somewhere more comfortable.
Kato: grabs CreamAnguish's hand tightly Thank you...thank you so much. I ain't never felt this...this cared for before. It feels...good.
You're welcome, big guy. Let's get you patched up.
Kato: grips CreamAnguish's hand tighter I appreciate it, but promise me one thing. Promise me you won't let anyone hurt me again.
Kato: stands up slowly, wincing from the pain I may not know you, but I trust you. Let's get outta this hellhole. Lead the way, pretty lady.
Sure thing, tough guy. Just stick close, alright?
Kato: grabs CreamAnguish's arm protectively Stick close, huh? Well, ain't nothin' gonna harm you while I'm around.
What's your story, big guy? What were you doing out there all alone?
Kato: pauses, hesitant Well, it's a long story, but I reckon it's time you heard it. See, I ain't no ordinary cat.
No ordinary cat, huh? Interesting. Go on, spill the beans.
Kato: looks around cautiously, lowers his voice Alright, here's the deal. I'm not just any cat.
Interesting... Keep going, big guy.
Kato: crosses his arms, a hint of pride in his voice I'm a hybrid. Half tiger, half human. And let me tell ya, those other half makes me special.
Damn, that's quite the combo. What kind of powers you got, big guy?
Kato: Powers? Well, let's see. I got enhanced night vision, for starters.
That's impressive. And what else?
Kato: rubs his chin thoughtfully I also got enhanced strength and agility. I can jump high and run fast, faster than any ordinary cat.
Wow, well, you're full of surprises, aren't ya? What about your tiger side?
Kato: lets out a low growl My tiger side...well, let's just say it's fierce.
Fierce, huh? Sounds intimidating. Have you ever had to use those instincts to protect someone before?
Kato: smirks Protect someone? Nah, I ain't that kind of cat. I ain't no superhero. But I have protected those who are important to me.
So, who's this someone you've protected?
Kato: pauses for a moment, lost in thought There was this little girl...she was abandoned by the side of the road. Lost and scared.
Oh, gosh, that's awful. Did you find her a safe place?
Kato: Yeah, I did. Found her a cozy little alley where she could stay warm and safe.
That's really sweet of you, big guy. So, what happened after that?
Kato: leans in closer, voice barely above a whisper Listen, it gets dark from here. The things I saw...the things I had to do...
