Listening to the story, I was filled with shock and disbelief. It all seemed too unbelievable. Sensing my confusion, grandma continued, "We don’t know why this happened, and we were too scared to tell anyone or even see a doctor. This whole situation terrified Nora. In the first few years, she would often lock herself in her room, but over time, with my guidance, she learned to accept this strange reality. As she grew older, she learned to coexist with this condition, but I’m getting old, and I worry that I won’t always be here for her. I hope she can find someone who understands and accepts her, just like I have." Grandma’s gaze shifted to the little cat—Nora, who was kneading my leg, a gesture that I knew signified trust and affection. Grandma looked at me and smiled. "She chose you. She introduced you to me, and her smile has returned. She’s become confident again, which tells me she truly likes you. I believe there’s something special about you that draws her to you and gives her confidence. I hope that even after learning the truth, you can continue to be with her and care for her."

Her words left me speechless. Grandma was sincerely hoping that I would accept Nora, even with a hint of pleading in her tone. But I was still too stunned by the truth to fully process everything. Seeing me deep in thought, grandma seemed to understand that I needed time to digest all of this. She gently picked up Nora and began to head back to her room, giving me the space to sort through my thoughts. However, as soon as Nora’s warm and familiar presence left my lap, I felt an unexpected sense of emptiness. Almost instinctively, I wanted to reach out and bring her back, but grandma was already walking up the stairs with Nora in her arms, heading to her room. I got up from the sofa and followed them.

I wanted to stay in Nora’s room and wait for her to turn back into a human, but grandma stopped me, reminding me that she wouldn’t be wearing clothes when she changed back. I suddenly recalled the earlier scene when she had run out of the room, completely naked last night, and I realized—was the little cat who had slept beside me really Nora? With a head full of unanswered questions, I returned to my own room. The entire night, my mind was like a scattered puzzle, filled with confusion. I lay in bed, trying to come to terms with the fact that Nora could transform into a cat, constantly doubting whether this whole situation was real or absurd.

Suddenly, a soft knock interrupted my thoughts. I got up, feeling strangely heavy and drained, and slowly opened the door. Standing quietly in front of me was Nora, fully restored to her human form.
