Lin Xin gazed into the night sky, the moon shining brightly above yet offering only a faint light. After a long moment, he finally spoke, his low voice calm but heavy with certainty.
"I clearly died. I'm sure of it. Yet somehow, by an unfathomable miracle, my soul entered this body."
He paused, his gaze lingering on the distant moon, as though searching the stars for answers long lost. A soft breath escaped him before he spoke again.
"I couldn't remember anything. There was nothing left no memories, no sense of who I once was. It felt as though my former life had been completely severed."
The moonlight shimmered in his eyes. Only then did Lin Xin turn his gaze back to the cat, his expression calm yet sincere.
"It was only after I saw you" he said quietly, "that everything began to feel real again."
"Zhi Zun."
