WEBVTT 00:00.560 --> 00:04.000 Before the Nyandemic October 5, 20XX 00:09.940 --> 00:17.790 On that day, a remote cat food manufacturer that was part of a larger conglomerate 00:17.790 --> 00:19.510 suffered an explosion. 00:20.020 --> 00:25.480 Although it was serious enough that locals were ordered to evacuate, 00:25.480 --> 00:28.520 newspaper coverage of the accident was minimal. 00:29.050 --> 00:34.400 However, one freelance journalist uploaded a video. 00:36.830 --> 00:40.090 The local time is... uh... 11:08 PM! 00:40.970 --> 00:43.370 There was just an explosion! 00:43.850 --> 00:45.310 Listen to me, everyone! 00:45.310 --> 00:48.520 This explosion had something to do with cats! 00:48.520 --> 00:50.340 A bunch of them have escaped! 00:50.340 --> 00:52.380 Realize the truth already! 00:52.510 --> 00:54.090 It's cats! 00:54.090 --> 00:56.130 It will be cats that change this world! 00:57.150 --> 01:00.160 This video has been deleted 00:57.150 --> 01:00.160 This video has been deleted 01:00.290 --> 01:03.780 The video was deleted less than ten minutes after it was uploaded, 01:03.780 --> 01:07.010 and the journalist was never seen again. 01:07.470 --> 01:12.130 And so the incident was forgotten by everyone, 01:12.130 --> 01:14.950 leaving a multitude of mysteries in its wake... 01:21.320 --> 01:25.330 Looks like... I've been infected, too. 01:26.980 --> 01:29.830 It can't be... No... 01:32.660 --> 01:34.710 It's just a matter of time now. 01:35.100 --> 01:37.590 You'll be fine!

Are you?! 17:17.320 --> 17:22.540 Also, if you do dumb things like this, the cats won't like you, so you should stop. 17:22.870 --> 17:26.060 W-Well, I don't want the kitties to hate me, so I'll stop! 17:26.060 --> 17:28.460 I'll be there! You can count on it! Better be ready! 17:28.460 --> 17:29.160 Hmph! 17:32.550 --> 17:34.410 Thanks, Kaoru-chan. 17:34.410 --> 17:35.940 Whatever do you mean? 17:35.940 --> 17:39.180 Hey, can I call you "Kaorun" from now on? 17:39.180 --> 17:42.560 Kaorun? Well, sure, I suppose... 17:42.560 --> 17:44.220 Yay! 18:00.830 --> 18:03.260 This is about all the first aid I can give. 18:03.260 --> 18:06.330 Thanks, man.

I'm horribly allergic to cats! 19:03.220 --> 19:05.970 My nose has been killing me today! 19:05.970 --> 19:07.970 R-Right... 19:09.020 --> 19:11.670 Anyway, you were really amazing! 19:11.670 --> 19:14.070 Do you have a background in parkour or something? 19:14.670 --> 19:18.980 I don't know. Even I'm not sure how I was able to move like that. 19:20.330 --> 19:21.840 I feel things sometimes... 19:22.400 --> 19:25.570 My five senses sharpening, like a cat on the hunt, 19:25.570 --> 19:28.910 or my heart beating similarly to a cat's purr... 19:28.910 --> 19:31.600 and my body moves before I can even think. 19:32.340 --> 19:34.640 It's as if I was a cat in a previous life. 19:35.350 --> 19:39.150 Or... maybe I already am a cat. 19:40.130 --> 19:42.240 I frighten myself sometimes. 19:42.650 --> 19:44.840 Just what am I? 19:45.380 --> 19:47.960 Hmm... I don't really get it... 19:47.960 --> 19:49.540 But that's super cool! 19:49.540 --> 19:52.980 You were like an action movie star in a Nyallywood movie! 19:52.980 --> 19:58.020 And there's no denying that you saved Kaorun and your other friend. 20:01.690 --> 20:02.400 What's that?! 20:02.710 --> 20:06.820 Citizens, a rescue helicopter is approaching the city. 20:07.490 --> 20:11.140 Please wait where you are and conserve as much energy as possible. 20:11.570 --> 20:14.580 When the rescue helicopter arrives, send a signal that can be easily spotted, 20:14.860 --> 20:19.460 such as standing on a rooftop or setting off a smoke bomb. 20:20.370 --> 20:23.580 Thank goodness! We're gonna be saved! 20:23.580 --> 20:25.740 Ayo! 20:25.740 --> 20:29.470 Just gotta hold out for a few more hours. Can we make it? 20:29.710 --> 20:33.180 The silver lining is that this is a supermarket. 20:33.180 --> 20:35.400 We'll have plenty of food. 20:35.400 --> 20:38.530 Yeah, true. We should be okay. 20:38.530 --> 20:39.480 Yeah. 20:39.690 --> 20:42.990 Hear that, Kunagi? We're gonna survive! 20:46.920 --> 20:49.870 All locked up over here. How about your side? 20:49.870 --> 20:52.000 Yes, all good... 20:52.000 --> 20:52.890 Hmm? 20:52.890 --> 20:55.240 This one's cracked a bit. 20:56.540 --> 20:58.370 That oughta do it. 20:58.370 --> 20:59.230 All right. 20:59.620 --> 21:01.410 Let's head back and eat. 22:58.690 --> 23:03.870 You'd never know it from the way I look, but I once won a painting competition. 23:03.870 --> 23:08.060 I never knew you had artistic talent. You sure don't look like the type. 23:08.060 --> 23:10.160 Well done. You sure don't look it. 23:14.760 --> 23:17.710 It's one of the few remnants of your past glory. 23:17.710 --> 23:20.140 You still have it hanging up, right? 23:21.110 --> 23:21.860 Yeah. 23:26.240 --> 23:29.350 I've decided to think of it as a daring modern art piece. 23:32.460 --> 23:34.840 Our curtains are all shredded, too. 23:34.840 --> 23:36.990 Once they get started, it becomes a race. 23:36.990 --> 23:38.300 A bouldering race? 23:39.140 --> 23:42.170 It's every cat's instinct to sharpen its claws. 23:42.170 --> 23:43.930 You can't get mad at them for it. 23:44.790 --> 23:48.920 Point is, keeping a cat isn't as easy as you might think.
