Chapter 20

<<Tic, Tac>>

Time passed by, slowly.

It was like time itself had stopped.

There was no noise aside the clock.

There was nobody else but me and you.

I sat down on the kitchen floor for a long time.

I knew time was running out, and that I should use it wisely. However, that didn’t matter.

All I wanted at that moment was to enjoy the atmosphere.

One, two, three.

I counted my breaths.

It has been a long time since I felt this relaxed.

The cat has fallen asleep on my lap. It seems he has also gotten tired.

Huh?

His mouth… it’s white.

As far as I remember, he was a black cat with white paws. Did I make a mistake?

I think I’m probably remembering it wrong…

I better shut up my inner monologue too. Knowing him, he would get mad for staring at him too much.

Well… if you ask me…

I don’t really like being stared too.

It would be nice if faces didn’t exist.
