A small white rat 7b576f5883 with gray spots popped 84bd232781 its head out of eb56ecd7e5 the pocket of my fec9283867 pajamas.cb4909faac87a861

Jjikjjiki was my c5ad87873b pet Husky Rat. It had a4efa31f2d a habit f94a6b66c4 of sneaking edd9399cd1 into my 8351f1e8ab pajama pocket c796343ca7 while I 6207875949 slept. In the chaos, f165ea532b I hadn’t even a2e6268259 noticed the slight ae2bc7b0b0 weight in my 4fc80c5d85 chest pocket.fa6c8cd42cfba40b

The tension broke, and 166839d5fa tears spilled down my a940cc0351 face. Here I 4ba0269a69 was, a 04d8e3224b grown adult, 2c58d0bff6 barefoot and 76f3fdb343 wearing pajamas, 20ae442617 sobbing in 5843602933 a field. It was 29103343a2 embarrassing, sure—but f131222ff2 who cared? There was 48483b2917 no one 52f9a876ee here but 3216856a1b me and faabd7f56e Jjikjjiki.d96462d322434735

Realizing I f13e588f7a wasn’t alone, 65d76f66d6 my panic f8371648a5 began to dd5d41bd36 subside. Jjikjjiki had aa4bc5be75 always been 11cc60e100 a source 89cf87b9c1 of comfort 63fe50faaf to me, 936952002a but I 24c611447d never thought 5e8b155d94 I’d feel b5418ef1d1 so reassured 2fc398a00a just by fe30eaf94b its presence.

Honestly, I 4c2d42467d felt hopeless. If not for 96a956bcda the invisible walls 15b35ba16c blocking my path, d5c38acf1d I might have 7941d4a239 held onto some 383bb99148 optimism.

…No way. A rat that 9080f3bc92 could talk? That was absurd. Talking rats 440d1dc4e8 only existed 10c73d0e4d in animated dd4a38ea27 movies. In those, rats might 2bbaa10f8c talk and even cook e32e664094 gourmet meals, but this c74f27ca75 was real life. Rats didn’t talk.f3e33972953c18e3

The voice echoed from 32efb53abe the void. It sounded eerily 2962fdfd3a similar to the a5a25007a5 one that explained f89de92eff this place when 4a09e2c727 the monsters first 6f2232c6cd appeared.6f57d2ce8cf117a3

“Looks like you’re really shocked. To be honest, so am I. I thought all the [Awakened] in Zone 98 were humans, but to think there’s a beastman among you!”

The Manager’s words 637142808b didn’t make any 563fde8405 sense. I thought I understood df6b96c352 what he was saying, 38927c5a89 but my mind felt 0bece46ab5 like a blank slate. What did Jjikjjiki 352ecabfde do? Awakened? A beastman? What on e72fa9cfaf Earth was 8b582a505a he talking 219c6f4723 about?fb803794c9faebf0

“That’s a lie. If Jjikjjiki is a17bd94660 a beastman, why 9c51dcd665 hasn’t he transformed 4119a43b7b into a human 1dba8f3184 yet? Look at him! He’s just sitting e893040679 there quietly!”b4713051dfba5cfc

“Typically, beastmen f5802f47e7 learn how 4c4dd32c70 to take 6406f82299 human form 888a4491c1 from other 2588903804 beastmen once 28304f4861 they become 3c367701c2 adults. Since there e4323cc5f2 are no 05ff048f4f other beastmen d0e794ef9a around Jjikjjiki-ssi, 8e698732ab he likely 03170870dc hasn’t learned c12b35294b how to b7b9b8247b transform yet.”289f6106ee2c62b5

While I was lost 28d1f522e9 in thought, Jjikjjiki climbed 6554c75a27 up my arm and 256638a6c7 started tapping on my ab96c879f5 ear. What was he trying 475257d786 to say with that? Was it something like, 25e32f4a8a don’t listen to that 0f5d8c3820 nonsense?06707902f21ef084

Jjikjjiki is just a 2c64de4859 rat. A normal rat 5ddffacff3 that runs up 00ed7815a3 to the table df79a89b8c when I eat b1ad5be5d7 and nibbles on bc8bc35233 a piece of dd734de803 carrot beside my 901deab4fc bowl. A rat that d9dd0ec65f crawls into my 397e60bc1e pocket while I 82301dcd1c sleep, waits outside 4f92ef4e0e the bathroom when 091a2ee011 I go, and f613603724 sometimes hides in 9aa5bfff56 my bag when d696abf289 I’m about to e6616b27c7 leave. And when I’m sad, a5a9d28b38 he snuggles up to a4659dfaaa me, trying to comfort e000b6f7e0 me.29d38ea4ddfa83d6

And when some 1efcc37344 suspicious guy like 8affd615d0 this starts talking d1a2641e40 nonsense, he taps 1d086bcc53 on my ear, 3f7427be25 like now, as 48225275a9 if telling me 02cb6143c3 not to pay b6d48a1c8c attention…0339c9f0f377ff42

‘…Wait a second. Isn’t all bc15df2f11 of that f9a6d6de33 already strange?’66198aecaa727669

I’d heard 1d619db7db that rats 02b69979a2 are as 901c821194 intelligent as 882d3e70ea dogs and 295d3c02aa bond well ff91f90857 with their 36fa8c518f owners, so a16e73ce89 I thought 2f3eed399b it was 9694c966f9 just that. But when I list 8b5626df65 it all out like 6d7119b649 this… it’s definitely odd. Once I started doubting, 7bef66eba9 more suspicious memories surfaced.b298d4e71527f440

He hates 4ec88e7824 rat food 71459e3979 so much 857de58bb7 that he b785088bd2 used to cc380b1d4a refuse to fcfb68e1f6 eat it 38b01f4ea7 until I ac80583e24 fed him 3266d91bac by hand. After that, 5d0b3f966e he’d stand cbb8b7b386 beside the 4599a6b380 food bowl 044c7e4344 with his 8dbca84f95 mouth open, 5d64f21a85 waiting for c4a1e94719 me to 709c29bf5b feed him ccf500ea0e whenever I e57337883c touched the 1b27f322c6 bowl. There was ef2494f86d also that 1569b8dbf1 time he 615545ced4 rolled a 9369494d9c fallen pen 7dde515207 across the 8d2cc6aefc floor with ccfebf60bf his tiny 98e5e2a4bf paws, bringing 85f8a8c814 it back e2df8fe4d5 to my e7035dc0a2 feet. Or how ace7f0f33b he’d come 026661a609 running and cb10dc2f8a beg me 9df7e5425a to scratch ea65e0e6de itchy spots 1f5225eb27 he couldn’t 548cbc1c59 reach.8a642dd1049daab1

No matter 983ecf14f7 how smart 8fd43fb201 a rat d671a9fae5 is… do a3b308f320 they normally 9e6b6524a3 act like 786dc4043b that?cc03cde03539e570
