A Light In The Shadows
This section of the article contains spoilers for Cats are Liquid: A Light in the Shadows. At the beginning of this game, Lumi is said to have already been stuck in the labyrinth for a long time. She is shown to be mistrustful, and sometimes downright frightened by anything that is the color orange, though this lessens over time. She also seems to suffer from claustrophobia (fear of small spaces), often complaining when the rooms are too small, restrictive, or cluttered.


 * World 1: The narration explains that Lumi was locked in her confinement by her owner who said she reminded him of someone. Lumi does not remember who. She is also introduced to several recurring obstacles such as orange spikes and orange squares. It is notable that despite being trapped inside the worlds for a long time, she finds many parts of the environment strange or alien.
 * World 2: Lumi notices the colors have changed, and soon encounters an Ability Ring, which gives her the ability to turn into a gas. This initially causes her to panic, but she soon calms down after realizing it was a useful ability. Throughout the world she repeatedly thinks of escaping, and hopes the end is near. Towards the end of the world, she is shown to be less scared of the environment and begins to get used to it.
 * World 3: Lumi continues to travel through the rooms. Notably she does not think about escaping in this world but is rather more distracted by the new features of the environment.

A Better Place

 * World 1: Lumi arrives to the place. At the start of the first room, their face is not present and it remains like so until Lumi has encountered a few minor obstacles. Then her blurred face appears and stays until she reaches the corridor with the first door, where her face becomes clear. Lumi creates and encounters spikes and the checkpoint line for the first time in the second room. In the third room, she adds curves. In the fourth room, she encounters the jumping diamonds. In the fifth room, she seems to add wind and music. In the sixth room, she encounters the Green Cat. In the seventh room, she encounters the Red Cat. In the eighth room, she encounters the Blue Cat. The cat goes through the rooms 8 and 9 together with her friends, and remains happy until just before the checkpoint in room 10 where a glitch occurs.

Trivia

 * In A Better Place, Lumi says "just keep smiling" in the final room, shortly before she leaves. This is most likely why she does not change her expression change in A Light in the Shadows when she gets hurt or only has 1hp.
