"Mom, please!!!" he cried aloud this time as soon as he saw his mom embraced her arms around a middle-aged guy. He took her hand and swiftly dragged her away from the small and murky village.
Along with that dramatic scene, the small fur cat manages his way towards the crying boy. His hands are covering his eyes, so he did not notice the little cat. He rubs his hairy cheek on his leg as he meowed multiple times, trying to catch his attention.

"I've been watching you from afar... since you were young... since your mom left you," Jun whispered the last sentence as he stared at the furious guy in front of him. "I don't care if you won't believe me, but at least let me help you."
Joshua took a deep sigh. He remembered how his mom betrayed him, left her son for a rich man. His aunt was the one who took him in, but she never treated him equally like her own son. Who would? He's just an orphan without a parent. Without no one to be with whenever he felt scared and sad. When he turned sixteen, Joshua left her aunt's household and tried to fend himself by working three different jobs a day. His aunt still supported his studies, hoping he would return the favor one day but never did because they did not treat him right. He still knows his worth.
Joshua realizes that if he only finished his degree, he would have saved some for himself now, but decided to rebel and work instead because he's covered with sadness and betrayal. However, working part-time or full-time is never enough for him. He got tired hence his tardiness behavior.
"I still don't believe you... unless you transform into a cat right in front of my eyes, but how can you help me?"
