The tiny, fluffy black cloud hovers in front of me, its body perfectly shaped like a small, cartoonish cat—round and puffy, like a floating marshmallow made of pure darkness.
And it's so unbelievably adorable I can barely handle it!
The moment it notices me, it suddenly zooms forward, its wispy form gliding effortlessly through the air. Like a curious little spirit satellite, it begins to circle me in slow, lazy loops—once, twice, three times—drifting around me as if it's inspecting this strange new creature in its territory.
I stand perfectly still, watching in silent fascination as it continues its playful orbit.
Then, unable to resist any longer, I take off my glove, hesitantly raise my hand, reaching out.
And the moment my fingertips come close—
It nuzzles into my palm.
A soft purrrrrrrr vibrates through its tiny body, a gentle, soothing hum that sends warmth straight to my chest.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~
My heart completely melts at the sensation.
