In "Kin," Anna confronts the emotional task of sorting through her late father Murray's belongings and preparing his house for closure. Little does she know, Murray had formed a special bond with a stray cat he named Tuna, who eagerly awaited his return outside the house. When Anna arrives, Tuna's excitement quickly turns to confusion and longing as he realizes Murray isn't coming back. Seeking comfort, Tuna sneaks into the house to have a last look at Murray’s photo. Anna, consumed by grief, reacts with frustration to the unexpected visitor and throws him back outside. As Anna finishes packing, she discovers her father's fishing badge on Tuna's collar. She realizes the true depth of their connection and welcomes Tuna, bridging the gap between past and present.
