Background[]
As a child, Miyu's mother introduced her to Daru, a black kitty. Although she initially disliked him for breaking her late father's mug and tried to abandon him, Miyu eventually warmed up.

One year and a half before her college graduation, Miyu and Daru moved in and started living in the same apartment with Tomoka.
In She and Her Cat: Everything Flows[]
After Tomoka moved out to be with her boyfriend, Miyu lived alone with Daru. As her graduation was near, she applied for jobs in many companies, but they all turned her down. She could not find a cheaper place to live nor find a new roommate to share the rent, she received more calls from her mother who was worried about her living alone. As their relationship got strained, Miyu stopped talking to her mother and started falling into depression. She did not attend the wedding reception of Tomoka, and spent days curling up in bed. One night, thanks to Daru's effort of making a call to her mother, Miyu managed to reconcile with her. The cat then passed away peacefully in her arms.
One year since his death, Miyu found a job. On a rainy day to work, she discovered and adopted a white cat in a box, who was actually a reincarnation of Daru.
