"It's probably because you have a bigger brain than it does," Yomi said, as she bandaged Sakaki's latest cat bite. "Humans have the ability to learn to love, but animals mostly rely on savage instinct to survive."
She sat back. "All done. And for pity's sake, be more careful, okay? If the kamineko bites you harder, you'll need stitches."
"Yomi?" asked Sakaki. "Do you think I'm stupid? I mean, for wanting to pet the cat?"
"Of course not, Sakaki," said Yomi.
Sakaki smiled.
"You may be obsessive-compulsive to the point of clinical insanity," Yomi said, "but you're certainly not stupid."
