in the dark

In the dark night, there is a cat.

The faint light is so far away.
"I'm going to find my little love!"

The faint light is so far away.
"Do you like guinea pigs?"

a bat flies by
"Oh my god! It's so scary!"

A faint light is flickering.
"Is it gone?"

"Let's go and see it together..."
