On alternate selves and backstories (spoilers likely in comments)

[cleverkit]

It doesn't matter. Even if we're technically the same cat, she's led a completely different life from mine. That goes for family, too. Even if...

Look, I... I really don't want to talk about this right now. So just leave me alone.

Wilykit...

[Yeah, he doesn't really know what to say, but he's here for you anyway.]

[cleverkit]

Hey, Sora. I take it your mun saw it, too?

[Not like she knows what to say, either. So she'll just stick with moping quietly for the time being.]

[dork_of_keys]

Yeah. Are you okay?

[Well, he's here, if she wants to talk.]

[cleverkit]

Yeah, of course I am. Why wouldn't I be? It's not like I'm the one who saw my dad die or chose to leave my mom and my little siblings behind so they'd have a better chance at making it and for all anyone knows they could still be alive somewhere and then had to steal food just to survive, or anything... I-I just feel bad for the other Wilykit, that's all.

[That's totally convincing, right?]

[dork_of_keys]

[That earns a gentle laugh.]

There's nothing wrong with that. And it's nothing to be ashamed of either.

[cleverkit]

W-Who said I'm ashamed? I'm not! Really!

[dork_of_keys]

[Your response says so much, Wilykit. He's still smiling at you.]

If you say so.
