Chapter 3 By mid–Newleaf, Claykit’s laughter was no longer something he could control. The smallest things set it off—fallen leaves skittering across the ground, Grimkit’s snoring, even Shadowpaw’s sharp reminders to behave. Once it started, it clung to him, bubbling up again no matter how hard he tried to stop. SolarLeaf watched him closely during a nursery check, pressing her nose briefly to his forehead. His cheeks were warm, his breathing uneven. “He’s running a mild fever,” she said quietly. “Nothing serious—for now. Keep him calm. No rough play.” Claykit nodded, though a soft giggle slipped out anyway. Not long after, Grimkit found herself trapped beneath Mrs. Fluffy’s thick fur once again, flailing and swatting uselessly. “I didn’t even do anything!” she protested. Claykit collapsed nearby, laughter shaking his whole body as he rolled across the ground, paws curled in tight. The sound was sharp and breathless, carrying farther than it should have. Around them, the nursery felt louder than usual. Kits sneezed between games. A few young cats coughed quietly in the tunnels. Small mishaps—tripping, bumping into walls, dropped prey—were met with awkward smiles. Even VoidStar chuckled once or twice, though her ears stayed pinned back. night aproched it was quite at last...
