“Kat:

Yes, only if you remember where your feet are, my dear.

— We can also sometimes land on our feet, I think.

— Hmm... So, what about people, then?

Kat:

Yes, I have heard of that. And no... 

Mimesis, my dear.

— I am confused. That is just how the saying goes... is it a myth?

Kat:

Ah, that's a cat's secret. But why would you think the number nine is

relevant here?

— Oh! They say cats have nine lives. Are you referring to that thing? — Will

we see them all again, one by one?

Kat:

Too late — it has nothing to do with “You” anymore.

Actually it was never the case, but at the same time...

— I guess so... but what if I just turn off the lights?

Kat:

Others need to know that you are dreaming too. You need a (uni)form.

— Uh?

Kat:

Yes — you are supposed to keep dreaming, but with a lantern.

Snoring is okay, my dear…

— But you just said...

Kat:

Not anymore

Chasing a dream is difficult in the darkness, anyway — The night is full

of mystery and you do not want that.

— So shouldn’t it be something we need?

Kat:

Yes, dear.

— Words against the night?

Kat:

Bedtime stories are woven with mysteries.

The words we say, half-asleep, to keep the night at bay.

— Why no more bedtime stories, Kat?”
