## Description
It's your day off, but the weather is really bringing you down.

Among other things.

But... you're drawn to the distant sound of something calling out to you...

You follow it to a dark, lonely alley. And at the back of the alley, in a cardboard box...is a cat.

A very cute cat.

What will you do?

Will you selfishly ignore it and go enjoy your day off?

Will you befriend it only to abandon it anyway?

Or...

...Will you take it home with you? Surely you will, right?

Right. Who could say no to that face~?
