Akira: I’m done feeding Alexander!

Will: Thanks, Akira. Is he doing okay?

Akira: I guess, but I can tell he’s not his usual self. What about... uh... what was his name again? Bizele?

Will: Yep, Bizele. And he’s doing fine. He’s over by the windows eating like a good boy.

Hehe, he must really like it over there though. That’s usually where I find him.

Akira: ...You said that Luca guy was the one who brought him around, yeah?

Will: That’s right. Siams saved Luca from being captured by Sirius, and when Luca escaped from the Lost Garden afterwards, Siams asked him to take Bizele along, I guess...

Akira: ...Siams did, huh?

Will: I need to tell Ren about him at some point, too... I just don’t know when would be a good time to bring it up.

Akira: ......

Bizele: Mrow~

Will: What’s up, Bizele? You want seconds?

Sorry, Akira, but would you mind getting him some more food?

Akira: Yeah, as long as he doesn’t scratch me.

Will: He won’t. He’s a perfect gentleman.

Akira: You sure about that?

Bizele: Mraaaaow!!

Akira: ...Is he tryna act tough?

Will: You got too close too fast. You’ve gotta take it slower so you don’t scare him.

Akira: ......

Bizele: Meow!

Will: See?

Akira: ...This cat has us eating right out of its sly little paws.

———



Will: Did you finish cleaning Alexander’s cage, Akira?

Akira: Yep, it’s spotless.

Will: Thanks. That should mean we’re done tidying up.

...Wait, where’d Bizele go? He was just here a second ago—

Gast: Whoa!

Will: ...Is that you, Adler?

Gast: Yeah, sorry ‘bout the noise.

Akira: What were you yellin’ about?

Gast: I came to talk to you about somethin’, Akira, but the second I opened the door, a cat jumped out...

Will: Wait, you let him outside?!

Gast: S-Sorry... He took me by surprise, too. It all happened so fast that I had zero chance of stoppin’ him.

Will: Oh no... What do I do?!

Akira: Calm down. This is no different than when Alexander got out.

Will: Y-You’re right... But the Tower is still unfamiliar territory for Bizele, so I’ve gotta go look for him right away.

Gast: I’ll go with. Let’s split up and help search, Akira.

Akira: ...Guess I don’t have a choice.

———



Will: I think this is the only area I haven’t checked yet...

Jack: You can’t sharpen your claws here. You’ll leave scratches on the door...

Gast: Nice, looks like you found him.

Will: Thank goodness... I’m glad we found him before he got out of the tower.

Bizele: Mrow! Mroooow!

Will: Hey now, what’s the matter...?

Jacqueline: It looks to me like he wants to go outside. He keeps stretching up, up, up towards the sky...

Bizele: Meow!

Akira: That makes sense. Maybe he wants to be in the sun?

Gast: This cat is the one Luca brought with him, right?

Will: Yeah. I guess he’d spent his whole life in the Lost Garden—

(Wait. Is that why you’re always sitting by the window...?)

Hey, can you guys come with me for a second? There’s somewhere I wanna go.

Akira & Gast: S-Sure...?

———



Bizele: Meo~w!

Will: Haha, you look happy.

Akira: Yeesh, what a troublemaker.

Bizele: Mrooooow!!

Akira: ...I feel like he was makin’ fun of me just now... Yo, hold it right there!

Will: Sigh... What the heck are you doing, Akira...?

Gast: He got completely roped into playing... Oh, that reminds me...

Will: Why are you taking pictures all of a sudden?

Gast: Hannah was worried about Bizele too, so I’m gonna show her how well he’s doing.

Will: That’s nice of her to care. Isn’t it hard to take a picture of a moving cat, though?

Gast: Yeah, I can see that now. Oh well, I don’t have to snap one, but I thought I’d try to take advantage of the opportunity while I had it.

Akira: Ngh, wait! ...Tch, dammit, you’re too fast!!

Gast: ...Akira is gonna be outta gas by the time they’re done.

Will: Most likely. As long as he’s having fun, though.

Gast: Now that I think about it... That cat has been pretty fond of you from the start, hasn’t it.

Will: Yeah. I didn’t do anything special to earn his trust or anything, though.

Gast: I guess he’s just drawn to your personality, huh? I mean, the same thing happened when you saved your little friend back then, yeah? [1]

Will: Huh?

Gast: What I mean is, they both instinctively knew that you were someone they could relax around.

Will: ......

I hope you’re right.

Bizele: Mrow!

Gast: Ope, kitty’s lookin’ this way. I think he’s callin’ for ya.

Will: Haha, then I guess I’ll have to join them.

———



Bizele: Meo~w!

Gast: He looks so peaceful when he’s asleep.

Will: He sure does.

Gast: Oh, this is the perfect chance for a picture.

Will: Hey, I don’t need to be in it, too.

Gast: I told you I’m not accurate enough to get just the cat.

Will: ......

Akira: I’m beat... To think I was outrun even goin’ at max voltage... I won’t let you get away next time!

Will: ......

Gast: Haha, good luck.

Akira: Yeah, yeah... Man, I could take a nap right now.

Will: It’s a beautiful day, and the weather is perfect. I can see why Bizele would want to curl up in the sun, too.

(Maybe I should invite everyone to Million Park with me when all of this stuff gets settled...)

Yaaaawn...

(The four of us... with Bizele, too...)

(I hope we can all enjoy the sunshine together...)

———



Hannah: Hey, Luca, look at this. My big brother just sent me a really nice picture.

The kitty is sunbathing! Isn’t it cute?

Luca: Isn’t that...

......

...I’m happy for ya.

[1] Probably obvious enough that a note isn't needed, but Gast is indeed referring to Siams when Will saved him and secretly took care of him at the warehouse in the Main Story.
