(Caption) The cat girl in the mirror (Patreon)

As a child, he often felt out of place in the world around him, always thinking he should be something else. On his 18th birthday, he receives a mysterious gift - a girly costume with cat ears and tail, delicate and beautiful. He is confused, but decides to try on the costume.

With each piece of clothing he puts on, his mood becomes more and more eccentric. Initially, he was just trying to satisfy his curiosity, but as he put on the pink shirt with the black and white intertwined lace skirt, his reflection in the mirror became stranger and stranger. His heart raced and an indescribable emotion welled up inside him. Then he picked up the pair of stockings and carefully slipped them over his legs, the smooth touch sending a slight shiver down his spine. An indescribable feeling of pleasure filled him as he put on the cat ear hair band and the soft tail. He looked at himself in the mirror and it was as if he saw a whole new world, the man in that mirror was no longer the man he knew, but a girl with soft eyes and a cat-eared tail.

But that wasn't the end of the story, it was a new beginning. That night, he found himself having a strange dream in which he was no longer a boy, but a lively and lovely cat girl, wearing the same costume and traveling through a fantastic city. Everyone in the city smiled at her, and she felt incredibly at home and happy. When he woke up in the morning, he felt his mind in a trance, and that pleasant feeling of being in a dream lingered for a long time. From then on, every now and then he would feel a strange force calling to him, making him constantly want to put on that costume. At first, he did his best to resist it, trying to tell himself that it was just a random thought, but whenever he looked at the suit, the longing in his heart would come like a tidal wave. Gradually, this power eroded his mind, making it more and more impossible for him to distinguish the line between reality and dream.

On an impulse, he decided to completely immerse himself in this feeling. He began to learn how to apply makeup, sketching out the face that belonged to a cat girl little by little. After applying foundation, he applied pink eye shadow to the corners of his eyes, then used a fine eyeliner to create a thin line and applied long false eyelashes. He then applied a light pink lip gloss, instantly giving his entire face a sweet aura. He tousled his hair to make it smooth and silky, and secured the cat ears with a hairpiece so that they blended perfectly with his hairstyle. He even spent weeks learning how to dye his hair a soft pink color.

When it was all ready, he walked over to the mirror and his eyes lingered on himself for a long moment. The cat girl in the mirror was so flawless that even he had trouble recognizing it as his past self. He couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, a strange sense of satisfaction filling his heart. As time passed, he found himself less and less able to return to his old life. He began to frequently appear in his life as a cat girl, and even interacted with others as a girl on social media platforms. Whenever he made up as a cat girl, that inner conflict and uneasiness would disappear without a trace, replaced by an incomparably real sense of existence. He gradually forgets that he was ever him, and even begins to question the existence of the boy.

In the end, he decided to completely abandon the past and threw himself into the world of the cat girl. That mysterious power may have been his subconscious desire, or perhaps it was the magic brought by the costume itself. But either way, he - or she, for that matter - no longer dwells on who she once was. She embraced the transformation and found her own meaning in her new life. From then on, the cat girl in the mirror was no longer an illusory image, but her real existence.
