‘Justtt in case you forget, gosh your so stupid.. Be grateful i did leave a voice message for you after you left the house.
Buy eggs, flour, soy sauce .. the ones with the 10% discount, and 2 cups of instant ramen. Come back home sooner … or later’
You exited out of the sliding door, cool air escaping into the surroundings, like little energy particles finally reuniting with their former friends. If anything, you always preferred the cool wind during storms. The voice message ended with a huff and it cut, bringing the phone from your ear and into your pockets. You decide to relish in the moment.
walking in the streets, This time, you were sure that you didn't forget anything. The rain only got heavier.
The rain did not stop for you, so why would it stop for the world?
You came face to face with a white cat. The pitter-patter of the rain did not stop, you stood in front of the feline.
just when Alice and the Cheshire Cat met, Hanging upon the tree in a languid smile and a leisurely smile upon its lips, a moment you have engraved inside your mind ever since you read the tale. The most noticeable thing that stuck out to you was how the Cheshire cat was depicted as.
The feline stared at you, it wasn't supposed to be quiet, but you felt the entire world stop in this exact moment. Maybe you were meant to meet it, or perhaps not?
You stood with your umbrella hovering over you, dark, stygian skies overcast pouring the city streets with its cries. People were already gone from the scene the moment heavy rain cast upon the town.
You should have walked away, this interaction should have never happened.
The forecast didn't predict this rain either. The familiar scent of petrichor had invaded your senses, the smell was particularly strong as it didn't rain for a couple of months.
This cat was not similar to the Cheshire cat, yet it has the same feeling as when he looks into your soul, that it knows the memories you hold, the unique and oddly enough frightening phenomenons that you experienced as an infant inside this world.
It was so weird, so incredibly weird. It did not make sense, ever since your 16 years of living here in this specific area of japan, your whole life had been turned upside down. This peculiar cat stared at you like your life was some sort of joke, a mockery by the gods to attempt a feeble joke. What has gone wrong here?
You have witnessed multiple worldly phenomena ever since your childhood. But no one believed you, not even your own parents. They either brushed you off as crazy despite not knowing that their own lives had changed and took no notice of it, but yet only you did. Sometimes even you had your doubts, but even so you had seen with your own eyes.
First off, why did people have crazy hair colours? At some point of your life, you didn't expect on your bingo card that everyone in your school would have dyed their hair. Is this a sick joke?
EIther disgustingly neon colours that would hurt your eyes, pastels which you didn't have any problem with or bizarre hair colours with some sort of pattern which you didn't know was even possible. It was even more strange when you questioned how they were not caught for breaking the school rules and dying their hair, only to end up with a defensive chorus of “it's natural!”,
But deep inside you, you thought; maybe simply, there was something wrong with you. that your memories are all messed up into some sort. simply you were too curious for your own good. and at other times your parents apprehended you for questioning something that was considered 'normal' to them.(yeah, right).
your curiosity was shut down at other times, you know of the times when you had your brutal honesty, which led to one thing and another and you couldn't communicate with anyone.
Secondly, What was the absolute point of hospitals when everyone healed so quickly, “normal” people could have a fever in one day and wake up fine the next! You can't count the times you have rushed to doctors when you had a normal fever that lasted for a week. Don't me start on people's clothes shredding and somehow not revealing their private parts. It was as if everything you read from a manga story came to real life.
Being called crazy left and right made you participate in multiple conspiracy theory groups on the internet, some were explainable, others were 8th graders worldbuilding about their 8th grade delusions. You had flashbacks to that one internet kid yapping about the ‘dark reunion/ get-together’.
And the rest were questionable people who were probably trying to track you on the dark web or something…
The most recent bizarre thing that was happening as of late was the multiple deja vu experiences you would get. Although they would only trigger if you walked past that weird school or the neighborhood around your house. But if anything, this is most likely the slowest year you have ever experienced.
Something unnerved you about this cat, yet you felt connected with it, like a red string bounding you to this cat. as if fate itself wanted to weave you into each-other's lives.
That thought both irked you and made you shudder.
This cat probably just took the cake, what cat wears glasses? The funky collar which was not so practical for a cat. But it just didn't make sense, it was like you got thrown into a confusing game event where you had to unlock new characters in the main game. Unless this cat was the victim of some child’s cosplay fantasies. It was probably best to leave it alone…..
You had absolutely no desire to interact with the Universe’s chaos.
Despite your bubbling curiosity, It was very likely this cat belongs to some main character of the event. Even if society suddenly decided to dye their hairs and leave you out as a sick joke.
Animals were not affected by this change,
… So why did this cat have purple eyes?
Your stomach dropped, of course you went headfirst into a worldly disaster phenomenon, you weren't expecting one so early. Of course nothing interesting in your life happened after those events but you weren't prepared to be plunged headfirst without any warning.
All matters aside, was this cat even a cat? What if its some weirdly mutated project you just happened to come across and found out that the government has a science lab with all kinds of experimented monsters?
‘Yare yare, how weird is this persons thoughts.’
‘Strange, i cant read their mind’
One thing you have not noticed was that you made the cat feel confused, perhaps even afraid. But…. Its not like he wants another Nendou in this life.
