00:00I heard they were on vacation and got in a bus accident.
00:09Just think losing both parents at once.
00:12The poor boy. He's an only child, isn't he?
00:16Yeah. Poor Subaru. I hope he's doing all right.
00:24Subaru?
00:30Yeah.
01:00Everything about this stupid world is annoying.
01:18Here you go.
01:19The reference materials you wanted.
01:21Thanks, I appreciate it.
01:24You read more books than anyone else I know, Mikazaki.
01:26I don't know how you find the time.
01:28So, what do you think?
01:30Are these what you need to find the inspiration for your next book?
01:33Who knows? Hope so.
01:37Listen, reading's great and all,
01:39but you might find it more stimulating to go outside, get some fresh air.
01:44You like this place?
01:45It's super popular right now, busy all the time,
01:48been wanting to come here for a while, and our meeting was the perfect...
01:50Hey Kawase.
01:51Did you become my editor just so you could sabotage my productivity?
01:59Huh?
02:01This cafe, it's filled with mind-numbing people.
02:06And the inane chatter is driving me crazy!
02:13I've gotta go now. I'll see you soon.
02:16Okay.
02:16Oh, thanks for bringing me the books.
02:27What have I gotten myself into?
02:32Subaru Mikazaki, acclaimed mystery author.
02:36An eccentric, not fond of people.
02:38His previous editor was put on leave for a bad case of gastritis.
02:42He's sensitive to be handled with care.
02:48I wish I could live on a deserted island and bury myself in books.
02:53Come to think of it,
02:55my parents were always trying to get me out to see new places.
03:00But going out means having to interact with people.
03:04Oh, hey! I've read that book before!
03:09Really? Then what was it about?
03:11It's stupid. The main character's friend is the bad guy.
03:15Why would he...
03:16Wait, for real?
03:17Shut your mouth!
03:17Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
03:20Why would someone take the fun away from me?
03:22I want to find out for myself!
03:26I don't need to have anyone around.
03:28They'd only get in the way.
03:30Mom and Dad?
03:37Thankfully, I've managed to pay the bills just using my imagination.
03:41I hope you know you don't have to worry about me.
03:45That's another reason I'd better come up with a new story
03:48before Kawase gets any more ideas about taking me out.
03:54Something bit me!
03:55Oh, just a cat.
04:01I thought a zombie had leapt out of the grave to attack me.
04:07Now that I've gotten a good look,
04:10its mouth does remind me a little bit of Mom's.
04:13Oh, come on.
04:15That's ridiculous.
04:16My mind's just messing with me.
04:21I've got an idea for my next book!
04:23I've got an idea for my next book!
04:25From the shadows,
04:28from the narrowest alleyway,
04:31from beyond the darkness,
04:33I saw those fiercely glowing eyes,
04:36and I was captivated.
04:39And from then on,
04:41that little cat's had a thirst for my blood!
04:44Hello, Koguma Publishing, Kawase speaking.
04:49Hey, I got your email.
04:51A mystery about a cat, huh?
04:53That sounds fascinating!
04:55And the cat happens to be a homicidal maniac?
04:57I'm sold!
04:59Glad to hear it.
05:01So, this is it.
05:03The new hit novel all your fans have been waiting for.
05:06I'm gonna need a draft of the first chapter by the end of the month.
05:08Think you can manage?
05:09Yes.
05:10I've outlined the whole plot already.
05:13Talk soon.
05:19It's got the look of murder in its eyes!
05:22There's no doubt in my mind.
05:24You're a killer.
05:24Is it signaling to its partner in crime?
05:34Stop that barking, Taro!
05:36There's a good boy.
05:38Oh, Subaru's out?
05:40No wonder you were barking.
05:45This must be the path to its secret hideout.
05:48With one spark of inspiration,
05:50the wings of imagination unfurl!
05:54I can't believe this.
05:58I never dreamed anything could inspire me as much as reading books.
06:02Who would have thought?
06:04Hey!
06:06Subaru!
06:13Hiroto?
06:15Don't you have anything besides fish sausages here?
06:20Criticizing my fridge?
06:21Damn it, Hiroto!
06:22You can't just waltz into someone's house unannounced like you own the place!
06:26And you can't raid their fridge without permission either!
06:28I mean, come on!
06:29Your parents left three houses down!
06:31Yeah, about that.
06:32You're never even going to believe what happened to me, Subaru.
06:35Check this out.
06:37Some jerk stole my wallet while I was overseas,
06:39and I still managed to make it home.
06:40But then there was a dang fire on the floor above me or something,
06:43and my entire apartment got totally flooded.
06:46I had no money, I was starving,
06:48and when I went to my parents' place, they weren't home!
06:50I've had a rough couple days, man!
06:58Wait!
06:58Hold on!
07:02I got you this!
07:05I don't need more crap.
07:06Jeez, dude, sorry.
07:08What is that?
07:09A cat, what else?
07:12Yeah, obviously.
07:14I'm not a moron, but I mean, why's it here?
07:16I took it in recently.
07:19Wait, you're keeping it?
07:21You with a cat?
07:22The guy who doesn't care about anything in the world but books?
07:25You okay?
07:26Will you shut up?
07:28Wow.
07:29Dang.
07:30I'm just shocked.
07:33What are you crying about?
07:35I don't know, I'm just...
07:37happy for you.
07:38Hey, kitty.
07:41I'll bring you a little treat next time I stop by.
07:43Be a good kitty for Subaru.
07:45Will you just get out of here and let me work?
07:47Oh, good.
07:54You picked up.
07:57It's Kawase.
07:57Did you get those cat books I sent over?
07:59Yeah, I did.
08:15Just now, actually.
08:16I had no idea there was so much reference material about cats.
08:19I'll be sending you more later.
08:21Oh, fun fact.
08:22Listen to this.
08:23Did you know that cats can...
08:24I don't need any useless cat facts, thanks.
08:26Huh?
08:27That's a pet peeve of mine.
08:29If I want information, I can find it myself.
08:32Oh, right.
08:33Of course.
08:34Sorry about that.
08:35Just try to be more mindful in the future.
08:41Were you just talking to Mikazuki?
08:44Oh, you could tell.
08:46He looks like such a nice kid, but he's got a bite.
08:48Boy, he's ruthless.
08:50Around here, we call writers like that one difficult.
08:53But he's a popular author, so don't do anything that might run him off.
08:56Oh, by the way, you might want to keep a close eye on him when he's got deadlines coming up.
09:04Huh?
09:07That guy just won't leave me alone.
09:09I want to think for myself here.
09:11This is exactly why I hate people.
09:21A spy!
09:24Ow!
09:25Damn it!
09:26Why is there cat food on the floor?
09:35What the hell?
09:39What are you even trying to do in there?
09:43Whoa!
09:44This must be a trap!
09:46I see what's going on.
09:47It's a snare to throw the target off guard to finish the job!
09:52This is perfect.
09:53You're pretty cool, you know that?
09:57You don't butt into my business like humans do, and you stimulate my imagination.
10:02It's fantastic.
10:03This is what I get for saying those words out loud.
10:11I've had about enough of this little stunt.
10:13What the hell, man?
10:15A tribute to its boss.
10:28A tribute to its boss.
10:36Boss, I got something special for you.
10:39What exactly is it you expect from me?
10:49I'll just ignore it.
10:50I've got a deadline coming up.
10:52I don't have time to mess around.
11:02I don't have time to mess around.
11:02Oh, come on.
11:16I was told no one would interrupt me.
11:19I called myself lies!
11:23Man, I guess cats are just as annoying as humans.
11:27Nothing good ever comes from letting them in.
11:38Okay.
11:39Finish line's in sight.
11:40Is something trying to get in and kill me?
11:50Why'd you bring me your whole dish?
11:52Come on!
11:53What is your deal, cats?
11:54Stop interrupting my work!
11:58Crap.
11:59Not yet.
12:01I'm not finished.
12:02My manuscript...
12:03It's useless.
12:13It's no use.
12:15I can't move.
12:17I'm paralyzed.
12:29Mikazuki!
12:29Thank goodness.
12:33I'm glad you're awake.
12:35Kawasei.
12:36What are you doing here?
12:37Well, you hadn't answered my calls in a little while.
12:40So I freaked out and came to check on you.
12:43Then when I got here, I saw you'd passed out in the hallway and...
12:46And, uh...
12:46I thought you died.
12:50What in the hell did you do to my window?
12:52I've already got someone coming to replace the glass.
12:57Hold on!
12:58My draft!
12:59Right!
13:00The ending!
13:00Can we just go with what's written here?
13:03I found your scribblings.
13:07I don't remember writing that.
13:09Anyway, someone told me you forget to eat and sleep when you're working.
13:13So I'm glad I stopped by.
13:15Try not to push yourself too hard, okay?
13:18I can't believe I had the strength.
13:23I ate cat food, didn't I?
13:27Uh, Mikazuki?
13:28Just because it happened to be in front of me?
13:31Really?
13:35Happened to be.
13:36It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?
13:39Listen, Mikazuki.
13:41Maybe you should go to the doctor.
13:43No, I'm okay now.
13:45I just needed to rest.
13:46I hadn't had anything to eat in a while.
13:49You sure?
13:49Hey, by the way, um, do you have any idea what it might mean if someone keeps bringing their own food to you unsolicited?
14:00Hold the phone, Mikazuki!
14:02Mikazuki, are you saying you have a girlfriend?
14:04You're already bragging about her cooking, too!
14:06What?
14:06No.
14:08But, like, if someone brings you food, I think it just means that they're concerned about you.
14:15Though, if you really want to know, why not skip all the guesswork and just ask them yourself?
14:20There are some things you can't figure out with imagination alone.
14:23I've heard legends about wonderful humans.
14:38They say meeting one can alter the course of your fate for the better.
14:42If that's true, is there a better fate in store for me with this guy?
14:48He's been doing that thing again all day.
14:50I didn't even know there were humans who moved so little.
14:54I followed him because he had food, but I had no idea he'd be like this.
15:02Although he hasn't done anything mean.
15:05He fills up my food bowl every day.
15:10And yet, he doesn't eat a single bite himself.
15:14Sis, I'm really hungry!
15:17Doesn't he know if you get too hungry you die?
15:20He shouldn't mess around.
15:21When I first met him, he gave me food then, too, but didn't take any for himself.
15:26I don't really get it.
15:28But I'll never forget what the tabby who helped me said.
15:31Always repay any favors done for you.
15:35I live by that.
15:39So, I'm not going nowhere till I pay him back.
15:42Since he can't seem to feed himself, I'd better give him some of my food.
15:46He moved!
15:57The human got help from his blood!
15:59I was just a little surprised because I wasn't expecting it at all.
16:05Oh, damn it!
16:06Go on.
16:08Hurry up and eat before...
16:08What are you doing?
16:19Are you stupid?
16:20How dare you waste perfectly good food like that?
16:23The human is bad.
16:24It's even worse than I thought!
16:26Unbelievable!
16:33You're supposed to eat it!
16:38For me and the rest of my litter, just finding enough food to keep us alive was hard.
16:43Most days, we barely ate it all.
16:46I don't know.
16:47I guess humans take food for granted.
16:49I'll repay the favor, then split.
17:07Why won't you eat, stupid human?
17:09You're gonna eat food and like it!
17:11He can't refuse this!
17:19Oh, finally decided to come out!
17:21What the hell?
17:22What is your deal?
17:23If you don't eat, you won't be able to move.
17:25That means you can't get away if you need to!
17:27Stop interrupting my...
17:30Hey, human, are you alright?
17:35What's up?
17:43Why won't you move or open your eyes?
17:48No!
17:53Come on!
17:54There's food right here!
17:56You just have to move your hand a little!
17:58You can eat it all!
18:00You've had enough to tide me over!
18:05I did it!
18:18He's eating!
18:23Huh?
18:28There...
18:29It's...
18:31What just happened?
18:41Is he just...
18:42Sleeping?
18:53Oh, good.
18:54He feels warm.
18:56Thank goodness.
18:57What a strange human.
19:04I'm glad he finally left.
19:08So, you're strong enough to walk now?
19:12It's you.
19:13Where have you been?
19:16I have repaid your kindness and cleared my debt.
19:19So it's time for me to leave you now.
19:22Just make sure you eat enough food, okay, mister?
19:25Hey, man!
19:29You've got to keep it together!
19:33Jeez.
19:34Call yourself a person?
19:36I can't leave you alone like this.
19:39Let's see.
19:41I thought I still had one left.
19:47But, like...
19:48If someone brings you food, I think it just means that they're concerned about you.
19:51There's no way.
19:56A cat wouldn't do that.
20:00Found it!
20:02Yes!
20:03I had that before, but only what?
20:05It's the most delicious thing ever!
20:08Is he gonna let me have it?
20:10What has gotten into you?
20:12I don't understand you at all.
20:15You're hungry.
20:16So why have you been giving me all your food?
20:18Do you think we're friends?
20:25I changed my mind.
20:26I'll stay with you forever if you want!
20:28Look.
20:29If you interrupt my work again, I'll run you off.
20:32You got that?
20:33Day so good!
20:37A truth.
20:38One that can't be found through imagination alone.
20:41What's that like?
20:42A fateful encounter.
20:44One that brings great changes.
20:46What's that like?
20:48I think...
20:49A door to a bright new world.
20:52Is opening.
20:54A little at a time.
