The world seemed to vibrate with a secret, unspoken energy. Chloe felt buoyant, light, as she put on her favorite music and started tidying her apartment. Everything, from the air to the light, felt more vivid. Her niece, Alice, would be arriving soon.

When Alice arrived, she came with a collection of her latest artwork. Chloe sat down to look at them, and her breath caught in her throat. There, in one of the drawings, was a familiar face - a grinning, blue cat with oversized eyes. It was Blue, her childhood friend. A wave of memories washed over her, making her heart feel full.
