The first time wasn't too bad, but someone else confessed their love for me because of it and I grew cat ears that never went away.

[The expression on his face makes it clear that was not what he was intending to say, but it sure is what he ended up saying anyway. But hey, if she was wondering whether the cat ears and tail he was sporting were real, there's her answer.]

...I wonder how long this lasts. That time, it was a few hours, but the time after was just a few minutes.
