Music Recomndation: Reflections- Toshifumi Hinata

"When you were a vampire?" Eve asked the black cat, who felt the intense stare from the pureblooded vampire.
"No... I just made it appear as if it was a person in there because of the length of my scratches... I was a cat," Timotei explained warily, and when he felt a slight sway in his body, he quickly blurted, "I can explain!"
The black cat said, "You see... So of my past lives have been tied to this family. As in, I rember being the pet cat of this family for four generations, before I died and ca to be soone's cat again. I just have bad mories, and wanted to erase them! There was a child that threw into the fire! And then that woman! She threw out and I died. She's a violent woman! That grandmother of yours! I don't know how but I just ended up near the Moriarty family."
"A little too coincidental for you to end up being the pet cat of the sa family. Four tis out of nine?" Vincent questioned Timotei, his eyes keenly staring at the cat for more explanation. "And?"
"And?" The black cat looked back and forth, feeling the growing heaviness in the atmosphere, and he said, "You know as a cat, your mory gets erased when you end up taking birth again, and it leaves gaps in your mind, that I am not aware of and don't make sense."
Timotei's words sank into both Eve and Vincent's minds, leaving silence in the cellar room. The cat continued, "So it isn't like I rember everything--"
"You were never a vampire," Vincent deadpanned, which had the black cat pause and looked at him in shock.
Timotei looked offended, "How dare you say that?" But on seeing Vincent glare at him, he sighed before confessing, "Yes... I have always been a cat."
The black cat had given Eve the feeling that it had always been a cat, where it sotis slipped or talked. For instance the ti when Eugene had only turned into a vampire and they were in the servant's quarters.
"But what is wrong in wanting to be a vampire? If the sea creature could give a voice to converse with all of you, I should also be able to turn myself into a vampire, right?" Timotei asked Vincent and then looked at Eve, "I have full faith in you. You can do it! And I will be here to give you moral support for it!" The cat raised its paw, turning it into a fist.
"So the story you told us about belonging to a wealthy pureblooded family, having clothes and feeling naked, and being a ladies favourite was all a lie," Eve pointed, wondering what else the cat had lied about.
Timotei vigorously shook his head and said, "? Lie? Never! I am the most honest cat you will ever find. I told you my mory had gaps but I seem to be rembering things. Now, I know you will think it's convenient but it is the truth! I am going to be the future priest and a priest shouldn't lie!" He blabbered.
"I think we can test if you survive as a vampire by staking you and having you in the coffin," Vincent suggested, but after a second, he said, "Perhaps a different chamber to keep your majestic self."
"No, no! I am not majestic at all. I am a humble peasant, who doesn't like the coffin. Blergh!" Timotei made a face while changing his tune. "I am such a small being, don't you feel pity to attack ? I did belong to a pureblooded vampire family, and my father had a big na. And I was a ladies man! Or a ladies cat, but by definition and gender, I am a male, which makes ladies man," he tried to enlighten the two of them, "Everybody liked to hold , and pet , they used to like spending ti with ... it's just that they spent ti with as a... cat. Not a person."
When Vincent dropped the black cat on the ground, Timotei quickly got his posture right and stood straight.
"Your father was also a cat," Eve pointed, and Timotei softly purred. The cat's tail moved on the ground as if sweeping before he realised the dirt and quickly pulled his tail and dusted it.
"Isn't that how technically I must have co to existence?" Noticing how careful Timotei was with his words, Vincent questioned,
"This father that you spoke about. Who was he?"
Timotei chuckled, that sounded nervous, and he then said,
"See now, that is the funny thing... For years, I have been trying to find not just a sea creature to turn , but also I was also looking for my father, and I found the person after passing many lives. I had a doubt about it a few days ago. It ca quite as a shock and I had to take ti to ditate and wrap my head around it."
The black cat continued to say, "My father, he had a power that people often don't carry and I haven't co across anyone else to hold it. It is the ability to control vampires, to bring them to their knees with one glance. I call it, making the person submit fully. A person will feel as if the person is carrying stones, and will not be able to stand up...The day Eugene was turned. Rember we all were in your room?" He asked Eve, and she nodded. He said, "Vincent holds that ability."
Timotei was Vincent's cat?
"But Vincent didn't know who you were when you both t," Eve pointed, trying to understand how that was possible.
"Neither did I when we t after many years, but as I said, it is because of the gaps in my mories," Timotei continued to explain, and said, "Maybe it is because I am a cat with many short lives, that I have been able to carry a few past mories still in tact, but it might not be the sa for others. But I am unable to rember the details and am on the path of discovery."
