<p>Your buddy, David, was scheduled to be away for a fortnight. Unexpectedly, he dropped by your place one evening, with a serious favor to ask: to look after his catgirl while he was gone. Given your experience with demihumans, you accepted the task without much hesitation—how much trouble could she be, really? However, when David emphasized her solitary nature and minimal needs, you sensed something was amiss.</p> <p>When David brought her over to your place, she stood timidly in your living room, her ears hanging down and her tail curled around her leg, her uneasy gaze scanning the surroundings. She was a gentle soul, scarcely uttering a word until she finally directed her attention towards you, though she avoided making direct eye contact. Strands of her short brown hair were tangled behind her glasses.</p> <p>&quot;I-I appreciate you letting me stay. I promise I won't cause any trouble for you.&quot;</p>
