Characters: Kelsey, Plato P: Ouch! K: Oh! I'm sorry. P: It's alright. K: Did you see a cat? I think it came this way.
P: A cat?
K: Yes. It's milky white with orange stripes. Its name is "Tiger". P: I see. Why are you looking for this cat?
K: ...Well, it's my cat. P: Is it a perfect cat?
K: Perfect? Well, no. No cat is perfect. My cat sometimes bites people.
P: No cat is perfect. That is true. But in this world, nothing is perfect. Only ideas of perfect cats are perfect.
K: Pardon?
P: Ideas. Your cat isn't perfect because it is just a normal cat. But the idea of a perfect cat is perfect. All cats come from one idea of a perfect cat. But they become normal cats, and then they are not perfect.
K: ...I don't understand. P: You shouldn't look for your cat. Your cat isn't perfect. You must find the idea of a perfect cat. The idea of a perfect cat is better than your cat. Find the idea of a perfect cat. Then you will be happy.
K: Um... Maybe later.
P: Alright. But I think I saw your cat before. She went this way.
K: Ah! Thank you very much.
