[the folly of man]

okay so i came up with another story

here i'll paste what i wrote down:
"protagonist is mute, but can talk kinda telepathically to friend. so basically, friend is the only one protagonist can communicate with. one day, friend goes missing, and protagonist has to find them, which will be hard because they can't communicate with anyone because friend is gone."

this is protagonist
he's a bat cat thing?? he's mostly bat but he has retractable claws + a more cat-like face
he needs a name lol
im gonna design friend next
