It's infinitely easier besides, Niki finds, to get comfortable against the warm, furry weight of the big cat, any awkwardness he might have felt (even drunk as he is) melting away entirely. So as the Heartless settles down into a pool of whiskered darkness, Niki is soon to follow suit.

Either way, it's with a sense of vague embarrassment and confusion that he'll be forced to face the day, hand in hand with a truly savage hangover.
