( Niko was in a large grassy field, void of anyone else. They were in their powered-up form, rhythmically swiping a set of claws at the air in front of them. )
It was working fine before, why isn't it...
( All of a sudden, their form is reacting. The tingling sensation forces their attention from trying to create a portal to this new feeling. )
( It... felt familiar in an... odd sort of way. A pressure like digitization "bouncing around" their claws and pinging through their nervous system up to their head. )
...What the-?
( At the sound of the foreign voice, it suddenly felt like a pillow had been stuffed in their nose without the casing. Needless to say, it was very uncomfortable. )
Gah!
Aaaah...
CHOO!!
( Their powered form is dropped in reaction. From the glow, another figure is spat out onto the ground nearby. Upon finishing their transformation, Niko too falls onto the grass. )
Wh- Ack!?
( Shaking away the daze, the figure reached up and clicked the side of her hood, retracting the screen that she used as a mask )
Oof, that... That was not pleasant.
( Sitting up, she lowered her hood and glanced around. )
Um...
( Upon seeing the cat-person, she lets out a gasp. )
Niko!
Thank goodness, I thought I had the wrong address.
( A giggle. )
