[Kana is in her...rather bare room, aside from the items she found in the Fissure and some books. Oh, and her kitteh, who is purring as she rubs his back, flower nearby for him to use.

She looks thoughtful. Maybe a little worried.]

...I can't think of a name for him. At least nothing that would say he was...mine. Mine mine. You know?

[She sighs.]

I know this is silly to ask, but...does anyone have suggestions? I would absolutely appreciate it.

Cat-san... Cute. [Mai nods decisively.] I'm bad at names. But... Is there a name you like.

[cyclicalconcept]

The only ones I can really think of...are based on people I know or met. Japhet, Tatsuya...Seven...

[Would it be good luck or bad luck to name them the last one]

[nojohnyouare]

...cute. My friend did that. As a child. Named a fox-san after a girl he liked. He told me that once.

[cyclicalconcept]

Oh, that is cute! I...

[Nope that's not hesitation. Or a pause to figure out how to put it.]

...

I don't really have someone who likes me in...that close way, though.

[u m that came out wrong didn't it]

[nojohnyouare]

...That's fine. If you don't have someone like that. ...Food names? Like "Ichigo" or "Choco" or "Carrot."

[cyclicalconcept]

Food names...

[She looks to be considering it.]

That's...not a bad idea...

[nojohnyouare]

I'm not good at names. Before... We had a bear-san. I couldn't think of a name. So we called him "bear-san." Until Lee said to just name him that.

[yes, a bear. why.]

[cyclicalconcept]

Oh, but...Bear-san is a cute name for a bear, too!

[nojohnyouare]

He didn't mind it. I also gave him a Champion title. Because we all had them. But... Your cat doesn't need one of those.

[cyclicalconcept]

Champion title?

[nojohnyouare]

...Something unpleasant. Like the sign in the hall.

[An instant shadow passes on her face. Recognition of what that means. She closes her eyes and nods; when she opens them her smile looks just a little bit sadder. The sparkle in her eyes a little dimmer, more tired.]

I see.

I...I'm sorry you had to go through that. I really am.

[nojohnyouare]

...It's better now. The ones responsible... All manipulated or forced by one person. One source. And she won't hurt anyone again.

[cyclicalconcept]

...That's good.

[She lets her cat nuzzle her face. He starts purring pretty loud in response.]

I'm sorry, if I made you uncomfortable.

[nojohnyouare]

I don't mind. Sometimes... Things are difficult.
