To be honest, Clyde Summers hadn't climbed a tree since he was ten.
He matured earlier than his peers and felt that climbing trees was quite undignified, so he gave it up.
But now, standing under the tree, Clyde suddenly realized that if he couldn't climb up, it would truly be a blow to his dignity...
Fortunately, today he performed exceptionally well.
Although there were a few times when he almost fell, he gritted his teeth, driven by the strong will not to embarrass himself in front of his crush, and finally climbed up to rescue the cat.
When he got the cat in his hands, he noticed something was off.
This cat was too light, all bones under his touch, yet its fur was well-groomed, clean, and fluffy.
Clyde Summers tucked the cat into his arms, hunched his back, and carefully climbed down the tree.
"Your cat seems a bit off," he said, returning the cat to Atra Blanc, and kindly reminded her, "Take a look, see if something's wrong."
