'What's Nagisa-kun looking at?'

⌠➸⌡ — He is at least prone to giving people the benefit of the                  doubt. “I never suggested you didn’t, but — to an outsider,                  at least — it looks like you’re trying to communicate with                  with a cat.”

          "That is exactly what I am trying to do!" He           saw nothing wrong with trying to speak with a cat.           "But it is difficult to understand," he admitted           with a nod and strangely serious expression.

⌠➸⌡ — One day, he’ll encounter an ordinary person in                   this city. Though apparently that’s not today.                  ”Excuse me, is someone… looking after you?”

          He momentarily stopped his meowing. "Why would I need           someone to look after me?" It was probably a good idea.           "I can assure you I know what I am doing!" There he goes           holding onto the cat to make sure it doesn't run. 

Nice one, Rei!
