[* The yowling of the cat echoed in Rowan’s ears. Their vision blurred, and their eyes stung as tears streamed down their face. They could feel the kitten’s soft fur in both of their hands, though it was small enough to fit in just one. The scent of their house still clung to them - an acrid smell that burned their throat and made them dizzy.]

* MROW!!

* Shh, gatito.. Shhhh…

[* They could see the water in the distance. The lake. Cold, shallow water lapping against the rocks along the shore.]

[* When Rowan reached it, they knelt at the edge - on a small rock ledge - and looked into the kitten’s frightened eyes.]

* Está bien, gatito... No tengo muchas ganas de hacer esto, así que-

[* As they spoke, the cat struggled in their grasp. Suddenly, it bit down hard on their finger. Rowan yelped and dropped it, clutching their hand for a moment before the realization hit them.]

* No! Nonono-!

[* They hadn’t meant to drop it. They’d meant to drown it, yes - but they wanted it to have a dignified death at least, if they really had to kill it. Instead, the kitten had slipped from their hands and fallen into the lake.]

[* Rowan scrambled back to the edge, leaning over, trying to reach it as the kitten splashed helplessly in the water.]

* GATITO!

[* Then everything went dark.]

[* The void. Their soul did not fall apart, but instead went to the void. Their bravery soul.]

[* They certainly didn’t feel brave… They’d died trying to save that cat.]

[* That cat had bitten them, and made them drop it.]

[* They’d died trying to save a cat that caused its own peril.]

[* That cat…]

[* What looked like a sheet of glass hung before them. Through it, they could see the lake. A shaking kitten climbing over the rocks. Blood spreading slowly through the water. And the cat that had killed them.]

[* What god would let them live to see this? To force them to watch the very creature that caused their death crawl out of danger unharmed?]

[* They smashed that window the moment they saw that cat.]

[* They didn’t see █████ ██████ ████ ██ ███ ███████ ████ ███ ████ █████ ████ ███████ ████ █████ ███ █████ ███ ███████ ██ ██ █████ ████.]

[* They didn’t see █████ ███████ █████ ████.]

[* Just that cat.]

[* That cat.]

* Te odio, gato.

[bravery-soul]

¿quiénes son tus padres?

* No asunto tuyo.

[bravery-soul]

¡Ey no seas asi!

¡No puedes peliar cada persona que no confieas!

* ¡Sí puedo!

[*Rowan has acquired punching bag! It even came with tape to put a picture of someone that annoys you on there!]

[* Rowan is currently preoccupied with watching the freshly beaten up Jevil stand back up.]

[bravery-soul]

HELL YEA BEAT HIS ASS

* Vete a la mierda, cabrón!!

[* This is directed at Jevil.]

* ¡ACABA DE LLEGAR AQUÍ UN EXTRAÑO BUFÓN, ASÍ QUE LO GOLPEE!
