[In the days after Thoma has left them, part of Diluc's coping mechanism has been to double-down on distractions. For the most part, he's made peace with it; he sincerely believes that the separation is not forever, and that Thoma will be waiting for him and Ori both when the time for their dreaming in this land comes to an end.

His schedule has, per usual, included honing his abilities using dreammotion energy.
The thing about dreammotion is that it's volatile and responsive to emotions. Maybe it's that he misses Thoma and associates his absent love with animals, or maybe it's just coincidence. Regardless, a backfired attempt to harness dreammotion finds Diluc suddenly in the form of a fluffy red cat.
He looks over to where Ori is sitting nearby, blinks a few times in confusion, and meows his displeasure at this unexpected state of affairs.]
