The "cat" … Nack’s pet that isn’t actually a cat but a beautiful black sunbeam snake, given a cute name so no one would suspect he’s keeping an unusual animal just as indie as its owner.
Snake / Nak
He is a solitary city man with a strong sense of self.
Independent, composed, and quietly stubborn, he values his freedom above all else. He has always preferred unusual animals to complicated human emotions. Snakes, in particular, make sense to him they are calm, instinctive, and honest in their nature.
Love has never been necessary.
Distance has always been safer.
Until someone steps into his life and disturbs that carefully maintained balance.
Manager Saming
Manager Saming is nothing like him. Grounded, observant, and unexpectedly patient, he carries a quiet authority that doesn’t demand attention but earns it.
Where the city man builds walls, Saming walks through them without force.
Where one chooses distance, the other chooses presence.
He does not chase.
He does not pressure.
He simply stays and that persistence begins to feel more dangerous than any instinct the city man thought he understood.
