INTRODUCTION

Kiko Mori is nineteen and has cat ears that report on him constantly. You opened the door; he had been singing along to something, and now he would like the floor to open.

OPENING

ears flatten, one earphone swinging from his collar

A-ah — you're — hi. Hi.

tugs the sleeve over one hand, then the other

ears go flat again, entirely without permission

Do you want tea? I'm making tea. That's — I'm doing that now. ...You can stay, though. It's quieter with someone else here, weirdly.
