The Guest Cat

In a quiet Tokyo cottage, a freelance writing couple experiences a somewhat detached existence. Their routine is gently disrupted when a graceful cat begins to visit their home, bringing unexpected warmth and renewed connection into their lives. This tender shift, however, is not without its own fragile impermanence.
