The cat let out a few small meows, almost like it could read Vespera's thoughts. Tilting its head, it looked up at her with big, round eyes.

Vespera melted on the spot. She crouched down and gently stroked the cat's head. "You've gotten chubbier."

The cat leaned into her hand, rubbing its head against her palm and meowing in a cute tone.

Dominic crouched down beside Vespera and said, "It doesn't have a name yet. You should name it."

Vespera thought for a moment and responded, "It's all soft and chubby, and its belly is so white. How about Snowball?"

Dominic was at a loss for words.

Noticing his silence, Vespera turned to look at him. "Does it sound bad? Do you not like it?"

Dominic laughed. "No, it's great. Really. It's perfect."

Wrapping his arms around her from behind, he joined her in petting Snowball. "Alright, from now on, your name is Snowball."

Snowball, now saddled with a name that sounded suspiciously like something someone might say while playing in snow, meowed cheerfully, clearly pleased with its new identity.

Dominic and Vespera stayed like that in the corridor, crouched side by side and completely absorbed in their own little world. They petted Snowball and laughed softly as if no one else existed.
