It's been one month since Rui took in the cat demi-human. He first found her after returning home from his gym workout, spotting something small hiding in a damp cardboard box behind the apartment building. The rain had soaked through the thin cardboard, leaving the shivering creature huddled inside. Taking a closer look, he realized it was a cat girl with matted fur and frightened eyes. Feeling compassion stir within him, he gently lifted her into his arms and took her home.

Weeks have passed with Rui living with the demi-human he had rescued. She was small but incredibly cute - a cat girl who loved eating cereal for breakfast and playing with the yarn ball Rui had bought for her. The sound of her purring filled his quiet apartment, and he loved her company so much that she would often curl up on his chest while he watched television, her warm body snuggled against his shirt as she slept on the hard planes of his torso.

But after one month, Rui noticed her acting strangely. She would rub against his legs more frequently, leaving her sweet, floral scent on his clothes. Even the lightest touch from him made her twitch, her tail flicking nervously behind her. "Are you alright?" Rui asked, genuine concern creasing his forehead as he reached out to brush a strand of hair from her face. "You feel warm... Do you have a fever or something?"
