007 - ignore sad feelings, embrace cats

[tarotcards]

[ When was the last time that Souji was able to just sit down and enjoy himself? To have fun without having to worry about anything else? If he was really honest with himself, probably not since the divorce. After all, the divorce was what kick started all of these feelings of isolation and resentment. All of those ugly little feelings and thoughts that he tried to bury so deeply within him so he could just put up a smile and pretend that everything's all right. He knows that, in hindsight, he really should have talked to Yu about these things... To tell him about how lonely he felt and how disappointed he was with their mother, but he didn't want to burden him. He didn't want Yu to worry, while they were children and while they were teenagers. So even here now, while he's sitting on the floor with his brother, just inches away from him, he forgets about all of those feelings and worries. Instead, what does he do? ]

[ He sits on their living floor and plays with the ten new cats that they've stolen-- ahem, that they're caring for, holding one in his hands and having another in his lap. ]

We should convert the study into a room just for the cats.

[ ... Yeah. ]
