[Rabid cat keeps trying to scratch her, hissing all the while.]

Claudia?! Where...where did you go?

[The call comes from somewhere else, though the cat doesn't seem to care anyway.]

[starshots]

H..hey! Did you have a grudge against me in a past life?! [yes, she's talking to the cat, trying to pry it off of her.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

[More hissing. Cat is not happy. Not that she's ever happy ff.

Flora's getting closer, and rounds the corner.]

O-Oh no...[And she just stops and stares because goddammit cat why are you so mean?]

[She turns, looking worried.]

My...my cat's gone. She ran off, and I can't find her.

How did your cat run off...? Don't you leave those tied in the backyard?

[That's a dog, Sideswipe.]

[And she...looks just as confused.]
