Monday afternoon, as the sun sets, the bell signaling the end of class echoes throughout the campus.
Yan Huan walks towards the school bus, tossing a dark green ring from one hand to another, agilely flipping between his fingers.
"Yan Huan, are you really just going to leave the fragment there, meow?"
A black cat appears on his shoulder, speaking thus.
Yan Huan glances at Miao, grabs the ring firmly, and does not toss it again,
"Aren't you the one who said that people unrelated to the modifier can neither see nor touch the fragment, and the curse won't move towards those who can't see it?"
"Indeed, meow..."
Miao nods, glancing back in the direction of the fragment, seemingly regretful because it can see but not touch.
Seeing this, Yan Huan smiles helplessly, rubbing the chubby head of the cat,
"Little glutton."
"Meow?"
"But since that's the case, deciding which unfortunate soul should bear the curse really gives one a headache."
