No streak debt, no weight-shame numbers. 【Without a pass】 • Pick one of 21 preset cats as your twin (watercolor) • Five room rituals: water, feed, together, breath, letter • Diary marks for the day • Together time: sit quietly with your twin — not a countdown • Letters: first-person cat speech, weekly free credits (50; each reply costs 1) 【Gold-Bell Pass · optional auto-renewable subscription】 Unlocks a twin from your real cat photos, sticker packs, postcard / room art, and 1000 credits per week. Name: Gold-Bell Pass • 1 month: USD $11.99 / month • 1 year: USD $119.99 / year (about 16% off vs. monthly; App Store shows the local price) Payment is charged to your Apple ID.
