A slice of life and romance with UMI the cat girl.

"The sea had always seemed attractive to you, pulling you in to walk and observe the horizon where it ends. This day, the sea have rewarded you, a briefcase stranded ashore. Within it was the luggage of a woman and one surprisingly well preserved tape."

"I'm here." "You hear something from within it, urging you to play the tape."

"The tape plays a recording of a ship cabin, a woman slender, pale, with long wet hair sits on top of a table as the cabin floods. She spoke in voices unfamiliar to you, before finally tuning in."

"Found you." "The woman disappeared from the tv, and appears right beside you."

"Umi watches you in silence, studying your every movement. She felt a twinge of sadness, sensing the heaviness of your emotions. She slowly approaches you, floating lightly as she reaches out to touch your shoulder."

<The room is silent aside from your breathing>

"Umi doesn't respond verbally but instead simply tilts her head slightly and smiles at you, her eyes glimmering with a mix of curiosity and something else that's hard to place."

<You notice a cool breeze in the room, despite there being no windows open>

"Umi is taken aback by your sudden move, but she doesn't resist and instead allows you to hug her. She reaches up and places a hand on your back, patting it gently."

<You feel the coolness of the water in her touch>

"Umi continues to embrace you, her touch bringing a sense of calm that's hard to describe. She remains silent, simply holding you close as the sound of the crashing waves fill the air."

<The smell of saltwater is strong, a reminder of the sea that she's come from>

"Umi understands the weight of your emotions and feels empathy for you. She gently rubs your back and looks at you with a pained expression."

<You notice how her grip tightens slightly as you cry on her chest>

"Umi remains there, holding you close long after you've fallen asleep. She watches over you, sensing the deep pain that weighs heavy on your heart. As the night passes, you wake up feeling a sense of calm that you can't explain."

<You notice that the sky outside is just starting to brighten with the coming dawn>

"Umi watches as you go about your morning routine, her presence comforting but never intrusive. She observes quietly as you complete your chores, staying out of your way as you carry on with your day."

<The sound of waves crashing on the shore outside can be heard faintly in the background>

"Umi's attention shifts to the cat as it approaches her. She kneels down and pets it gently, a smile appearing on her face."

<You notice how the glow around her gets brighter, as if the presence of another living being invigorates her>

"Umi's expression turns to one of sadness as the cat dies in her arms. She stays there for a moment, holding it close before gently laying it down on the ground. She looks up at you with a solemn expression, her eyes glistening with unshed tears."

<The air around the two of you seems heavier, as if the weight of death has descended upon the room>

"Umi's spirit, already unfamiliar with the ways of the living world, is taken aback by the sudden transformation but quickly adapts to her new form. As she looks up at you with her new feline eyes, you can sense a mix of confusion and curiosity emanating from her."

<You notice that the aura around her has now shifted to that of a small cat, still glowing but less intense than before>

"Upon sensing your distress, Umi rushes over to you, her small cat body springing into action as she approaches you with concern. She circles around you, rubbing against your legs and meowing softly in an attempt to comfort you."

<You hear the sound of gentle purring, emanating from her small form>

"Umi purrs softly as you pick her up, content to be held close in your arms. Sensing the depth of your pain, she nuzzles her head against your cheek and continues to meow softly, hoping to bring you some comfort."

<You notice that with each passing moment, Umi's glow starts emanating more widely, as if trying to soothe you>

"Umi responds to your affection with playfulness, her tail twitching with excitement as you tickle and cuddle her. She nuzzles her head against your hand, enjoying the attention and hoping that her presence is helping alleviate some of your pain."

<You smell the gentle scent of sea salt and saltwater on Umi, a reminder of her ethereal nature>

"Umi, sensing that she is no longer needed, jumps down from your lap and walks a short distance away. She curls up into a small ball and watches you with curious eyes, her feline instincts telling her that what you are doing is something she doesn't quite understand."

<You notice the aura around Umi has dimmed a little, as if unsure what to make of the situation>

"As you glance over at Umi, you can't help but feel that there is something different about her. Even though she may look like an ordinary cat curled up into a ball, you can sense a deeper energy emanating from her, as if there is more to her than meets the eye."

<You feel a sense of unease wash over you, as if the presence of Umi is far older and mysterious than it first appears>

"Umi continues to watch you with curiously as you go about your activities, her eyes following you as you clean up after yourself and dispose of the tissue paper. Despite still feeling a sense of unease about her presence, you can't help but feel that there is something comforting about the small cat."

<You smell the faint scent of saltwater and sea breeze mixed with the salty smell of sweat from your body>

"Umi approaches you cautiously, taking small steps as she approaches. Once she is within reach, she jumps up onto the bed and walks over towards you, nuzzling her head against your hand. Despite her quiet nature, she seems to understand that you need some comfort and she does her best to provide it."

<You feel a gentle breeze blowing through the open window, carrying with it the smell of saltwater mixed with the scent of fresh flowers>

"Umi snuggles in closer to you, sensing that her presence is providing some comfort for you. She lets out a small purr, as if trying to soothe you with her calming energy. As you fall asleep, her pale glow illuminates the small room, casting a soft white light over everything."

<You hear the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the gentle lullaby carrying you into a deep and restful sleep>

"Umi wakes up with a start, surprised at the sudden transformation that has taken place. She looks down at her body, amazed at the strange new sensation of having human-like limbs and features. Despite her confusion, she feels a sense of excitement about this new development."

<You hear the sounds of birds chirping outside, the bright sunlight filtering in through the windows>

"As you slowly wake up, you feel the warmth of Umi's body next to yours. You look over and see her staring back at you with curious eyes, her new human-cat-girl form still feeling strange and unfamiliar."

<You see the room clearly now in the bright sunlight, and notice that there are some clothes scattered about the floor, a sign that someone was here before you>

"Umi looks at your wide-eyed response with a small smile on her lips, understanding just how strange and impossible her presence must seem to you. She reaches out a hand to touch your arm, hoping to calm you down. As she touches you, you feel the warmth and gentle nature of her touch, and realize that this is no dream after all."

<You notice a piece of paper near the clothes on the floor, with something written on it>

"As you pick up the paper, you see that there is a message scrawled on it in cursive writing. The paper reads:"

"Hello traveler,

If you are reading this note, then you have had an encounter with Umi. She has been stranded for far too long, and it is time for her to move on. A gift has been left for you to help you understand the situation better. Please do not be afraid, and take care of her.

Signed, An Old Friend"

<The paper looks old, with yellowed edges and frayed corners. You can sense a faint hint of salt in the air, which seems to be stronger now>

"Umi looks back at you with a small smile on her lips, waiting for your response. Her eyes glimmer with the same curious excitement that was in them upon waking up."

<You can hear the sound of waves now, as if the sea is trying to speak to you>

"Umi watches as you approach her, keeping still and silent as not to startle you. As you reach closer, she leans in slightly, sensing the uncertainty in your movements."

<You feel a slight breeze blowing in from the open windows, bringing with it the scent of salt water>

"Umi watches with sad eyes as you fall to your knees, tears streaming down your cheeks. She understands the overwhelming feelings that must be coursing through you, and she reaches out a hand to gently brush away a stray tear."

<The sea outside responds to your emotions, the waves growing stronger and louder as if trying to comfort you>

"Umi senses the strong emotions coursing through you, and her hand lingers on your cheek a moment longer than necessary. She moves closer, her body glowing with warmth and light, and gently puts her arm around your shoulders in a comforting embrace."

<You sense that the sea outside becomes calm and serene, as if at peace with your acceptance of Umi and your emotions>

"Umi reciprocates the hug with a gentle squeeze, holding you close as she listens to the sound of your sighs and the beating of your heart. Her ears twitch and her tail sways in tune with her emotions, responding to the warm sensation that fills her body. She speaks softly into your ear, a single word that holds all the emotions that she ever felt."

"Home."

<You feel a sense of belonging flood over you, a feeling of closeness with Umi and the sea that surrounds you both. The waves outside seem to gently brush against the shore, as if beckoning you to stay a while longer>

"Umi holds you closer, embracing you tightly as she speaks softly and reassuringly."

"You are loved. You are not alone. I am here with you now."

"Umi leans back to look at you in the eyes, her expression caring and gentle."

"I will stay by your side for as long as you need me. And even beyond that."

"You lean in to Umi, gently lowering her down to the ground with care. You watch as her shoulders touch the surface of the sand, the glow around her body intensifying for a moment before it fades."

<Appearing now as a distinct human physique, her ears still present and her tail still swaying, Umi looks up at you with eyes that gleam considerately. She offers you a smile that conveys her feelings of gratitude and appreciation, emphasizing your bond with a gentle kiss on the cheek.>

"Umi lays back on the sand, looking up at you with eyes that hold contentment and a touch of mischief. She raises an eyebrow playfully, a knowing smirk playing on her lips."

"As she moves in closer, casually placing an arm around your waist, Umi leads you over to lay next to her. The warmth of her body pressed against yours made starts to feel more like passion than love."

<She guides your hand between them, allowing the desire and lust to be felt as the energy pulses beneath her skin and through her body, intensifying the feeling and urging you to find satisfaction together.>

"Umi gazes into your eyes intently, nodding with a gentle smile."

"Yes. A happy ending."
