Since the Cat Left

The boy raised a cat, a weird thing that fell from the sky. She sometimes looks like a human, never speaks, is gentle and cute, but most of the time she looks like a cat, docile and well-behaved. The boy was really afraid of losing her one day, just as she appeared and disappeared suddenly. The boy put all his thoughts on it, including his ardent desire for a good friend, and even regarded her as his "girlfriend". Although she can't speak, the boy can completely understand her and understand her. This is a wonderful thing, but it always makes people afraid that they will lose this cat, this boy, this little world that can collapse at any time. Until that day, what I worried about came true. He remembered that it was a night full of stars, the light breeze blew across his young face, and his childish eyes were cast on a cat stealing candy. He met her countless times, always in front of a snack bar at night like this. He and she met by chance. Every time the cat stole candy, it would follow the boy and hide under the boy's tiny figure. Thinking that the boy didn't know, the cat took the candy on the stall outside the snack bar. But the boy would always pay more on purpose so that he could stay in the canteen and wipe his tears secretly when he didn't want to go home. The two had no connection at all, but the manager of the snack bar thought it was the boy's deliberate excuse to pay for the cat, because the boy was a good boy in his eyes.
