Kai, his mind fraught with doubts, summoned his courage and respectfully cupped his hand. "Thank you, senior. I can only attribute my success to sheer luck."
The strange creature beside the woman underwent a wondrous transformation, resembling a peculiar blend of a rabbit and a squirrel. In a swift and fluid movement, it vanished and materialized on Kai's shoulder, emanating an aura of playful mischief.
Revenant Sia couldn't help but chuckle, a melodious sound filling the air. "Little Black appears to have taken quite a liking to you," she remarked, amusement lacing her voice.
Little Black rubbed its head against Kai's neck, its tiny nose twitching as if savouring his scent.
"Squeak, squeak!" Little Black vanished once more, surprising Kai as it reappeared on Revenant Sia's shoulder. It even managed a thumbs-up gesture towards Kai, displaying its fondness for him.
