Story Description: Nekomata met up with her stray cat friend and shared the latest news about herself. Both Nekomata and Salmon have found their new home.

Nekomata: Meow! W—What are you doing here...

Nekomata: What a coincidence! Haha...

Nekomata: Why are you staring at my black bag? I'm not up to anything sketchy!

It's sketchy any way you look at it.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Whatever you're doing, you look pretty suspicious... You aren't thinking of breaking the law, are you?Whatever you're doing, you look pretty suspicious... You aren't thinking of breaking the law, are you?Text for Wise / Uhm, this is pretty suspicious any way you look at it!

Nekomata: No way! This bag just has a gift I bought. I'm just waiting for a friend!

Why do you look so guilty if you're just waiting for a friend?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Why do you look so guilty if you're just waiting for a friend?

Nekomata: That, that's because... Because...

Just as Nekomata stutters, a gust of wind blows and a strange smell wafts through the air...

That... Is that mackerel I smell?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, that... Is that fish I smell?

Nekomata: You're imagining it! How could there be mackerel around here, meow!

Nekomata's paws shake, and her black bag falls to the ground. The zipper accidentally unzips.
Inside is somehow... completely stuffed to the brim full of frozen mackerels!

Nekomata... did you steal these mackerel?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍All these mackerel... You didn't steal them did you?All these mackerel... You didn't steal them did you?Text for Wise / Nekomata... did you steal these mackerel?Nekomata... did you steal these mackerel?Text for Belle‍)

Nekomata: No way! I might as well just steal a wallet. Once you have money you can buy all the mackerel you want!

Nekomata: Uhh, I was just kidding about stealing wallets!

Don't tell me you're hiding out here alone eating mackerel?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Don't tell me you're hiding (‍out here, alone, eating mackerel...out here, alone, eating mackerel...Text for Wise / out here alone eating mackerel?out here alone eating mackerel?Text for Belle‍)

Nekomata: What, eating alone?! Is that what you really think of me?

Nekomata: How could I ever sneak off when nobody is around just because I don't want to share my mackerel with anyone!

That's quite specific...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That's quite specific... (‍You sure you haven't done something like that before?You sure you haven't done something like that before?Text for Wise / You wouldn't happen to have experience with that situation, would you?You wouldn't happen to have experience with that situation, would you?Text for Belle‍)

Nekomata: I said, no!

(Both choices lead to the following response)

(A meow can be heard)

That sound...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That sound... Has Nekomata (‍become a real cat?become a real cat?Text for Wise / finally become a real cat!finally become a real cat!Text for Belle‍)

Nekomata: Meow! You're here!

A purring stray cat slowly walks out of the alley.

(A long meow can be heard)

Nekomata: Ah, were you a little late because you had something else to do? It's okay, I just got here too!

(Two meows in sequence can be heard)

Nekomata: Don't worry. This person might look suspicious, but the Proxy is actually my friend.

The nerve to call me suspicious...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The nerve (‍of calling meof calling meText for Wise / to call meto call meText for Belle‍) suspicious...

Are you talking to someone on an earpiece or something...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Are you talking to someone on earbuds or something...Are you talking to someone on earbuds or something...Text for Wise / Uhh, are you talking to someone on... earbuds or something...Uhh, are you talking to someone on... earbuds or something...Text for Belle‍)

Nekomata: Let me introduce you. This kitty is my friend I was waiting for — Salmon!

This cat's name is "Salmon"?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍TheTheText for Wise / ThisThisText for Belle‍) cat's name is "Salmon"?

Nekomata: Because the first time we met, we almost got in a fight over a piece of salmon. So I named her Salmon~

Nekomata: And after that, the two of us became great friends~

Nekomata: Back then, I'd just left the Red Fang Gang and she was the only one around.

Nekomata: Until I learned about Silver's death... Then I met the Cunning Hares, and you.

Why are you meeting up in such a dodgy alleyway?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Why are you meeting up in such a sketchy alleyway?

Nekomata: F—Free roaming cats like us choose to meet in alleys like this off the beaten track!

You're not deliberately trying to avoid us, are you?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You're not deliberately trying to avoid all of us are you?

Nekomata: H—How did you know?!

Nekomata: Fine. You guessed it... Since meeting you and the Cunning Hares, I haven't been able to prowl around the way I used to...

Nekomata: And I've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time to meet with Salmon.

Nekomata: I don't know why, but it doesn't feel as good anymore. It seems like, I'm the only one with a "place to go back to"... Or whatever.

You're actually quite an affectionate person, Nekomata.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍You're quite a loyal, empathetic friend, Nekomata.You're quite a loyal, empathetic friend, Nekomata.Text for Wise / Y'know, you're a really good, loyal friend, Nekomata.Y'know, you're a really good, loyal friend, Nekomata.Text for Belle‍)

Nekomata: A compliment? For me?

(An urging meow can be heard)

Sitting to one side, Salmon seems to understand and suddenly lets out a long, drawn-out meow. Heeding its call, a mottled crew of several differently colored cats appear in the alley and gather around Salmon.

Nekomata: Wait, Salmon — does this mean... you have new friends?

Nekomata: I get it. You don't want me to worry, right? 'Cuz now, Salmon also has a "place to go back to"...

Nekomata: That's great. Congratulations!

Nekomata: ...Looks like it's time for me to move on, too.

Salmon meows, as if in agreement.
Then, as if pre-prepared, it picks up a pretty flower in its mouth and approaches Nekomata from behind, gently pressing against her with its soft fluffy head.

Nekomata: Is this a gift? It's so pretty. What a precious flower!
I also brought something for you — a ton of mackerel~

Salmon meows in satisfaction as Nekomata takes the flower, but it doesn't stop there. It plucks another flower to bring over—

Something for me, too?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Oh?Oh?Text for Wise / Huh?Huh?Text for Belle‍) Something for me, too?

(A meow can be heard)

Nekomata: Salmon says, "She's my dear friend — will you please take good care of her for me?"

Nekomata: Heh, she sounds like a worried mother~

Nekomata: But that's more or less what I wanted to ask of you, too.

Nekomata's playful expression disappears, only to be replaced by a serious look directed toward you.

Nekomata: It's only thanks to you that I've made it this far. Thank you for everything.

Nekomata: Please, let's take care of each other~

(Idle)

Nekomata: It's quite embarrassing to be talking about all this...

(Talk to Nekomata again, optional)

Nekomata: The flowers Salmon gave us are super precious!

Nekomata: They only grow in high places that only cats can reach!
