a-i-u-e,o.

Look, you did it.

He repeated a-i-u-e-o, a-i-u-e-o over and over, so he wouldnt forget the feeling. It was strange to hear his own voice like a humans. Sometimes he had thought itd be nice if he could talk with human words, but he never thought it would become a reality.

What in the world is going on?

His thoughts came out awkwardly from his mouth, but he was so shocked that he was able to speak properly that he let out another small meow.

The man and the children turned to each other and started to mutter quietly.

hes really cute, isnt he?

Right?

The two cat-eared boys chimed in harmony.

No, at the very least, Im a lot older than you twowas what he wanted to say, but there was just so much he didnt understand that he was unable to interject into the exchange between these puzzling three. There was this unrecognizable Japanese style room, the cat-eared boys with their bow-ties and this handsome man in Japanese style clothing. Just what was this grand mystery? A scene had floated into his mind before he woke upa boy and a black cat. He was probably that black cat.
