00:00books are everything as long as I've got books I don't need anything else this is my entire world
00:10a world of my very own where it's always quiet and I can do it hey there you want some stew
00:18I spoke too soon my quiet world just evaporated why is this happening it's an honor to see you again
00:37today scary kitty huh you just have resting scary face I guess you take that back haru is the sweetest
00:46she's adorable whatever you say man I love her haru is nothing short of an angel
00:54but anyway I suppose you two have been friends for a really long time then that's right I'm Subaru's
01:02best bud Hiroto Yasaka I've known him gosh it's been 10 years now it's more like parasite and host
01:09that sounds lovely oh I'm Kawase Subaru's editor at Koguma Publishing
01:14well aren't you polite hmm by the way Mikazuki there's something I feel the need to talk with
01:23you about it all began yesterday evening up at work I was about to eat a donut my colleague had given me
01:35when out of nowhere it hit me yes I was struck by divine revelation like a boat from Zeus how can you
01:42allow out precious haru to parade around without a collar
01:45you know
02:03why do I have to leave the house for this damn Kawase you cannot let haru go another moment without a collar if she got out without one she'd be gone
02:31If she got out without one, she'd be gone!
02:33Just think about it, someone might mistake her for a stray and take her home,
02:37or even worse, to some nasty animal shelter!
02:40So you go out and buy her a collar right this instant, understand?!
02:44Uh, yes.
02:46He laid into me, then ran off to the office!
02:49And this guy...
02:51So why did you decide to come with me, anyway?
02:54I have to take the train home, and the station's on the way.
02:57Let's see...
02:59Should be here somewhere.
03:00Told you, there it is!
03:04It's the same shop.
03:07Can I help you?
03:13Oh, hi, Subaru!
03:16Do you know her?
03:19It's nice to see you!
03:21So what brings you guys in today?
03:23Uh, collar for Haru?
03:25Oh, yay!
03:27So you named your kitty Haru?
03:29What a cute name!
03:30Yeah!
03:31Thanks for being such a great help to my buddy Subaru here!
03:34He's new!
03:35Never had a pet before!
03:36Think you could teach him all there is to know?
03:38Of course!
03:39That's why I'm here!
03:40You leave it all to me!
03:42Wow, would you look at that!
03:43An expert!
03:44Yeah, but I'm no expert!
03:45Yeah, but I'm no expert!
03:46Oh, rude of me!
03:47I'm his best friend of ten years, so I took it upon myself to look out for him!
03:51He's annoying and patronizing, but Hiroto can be a lifesaver in times like these!
03:56Right!
03:57I'll leave you to it, then!
03:59Hey!
04:00Don't go!
04:01Sorry, dude!
04:02My apartment's a pigsty!
04:04Gotta clean!
04:05Good luck, though!
04:06Good luck, though!
04:07Please don't abandon me!
04:09The collars are this way!
04:12All right!
04:14Okay, we've got lots to choose from!
04:17Some of them are super cute!
04:20That one's great!
04:22There's a safety release buckle that unfastens when it gets pulled on too hard!
04:26If the collar gets caught on something, it could save the poor kitty from being strangled!
04:30Well, that's good!
04:32There's even a spot on the back where you can write your contact info!
04:35Cool!
04:37Although, cats are picky!
04:40Some really don't like to wear collars!
04:42And sometimes the stress of being forced to wear one can even make them sick!
04:47Cats are fascinating creatures!
04:49They all have unique personalities!
04:51All that matters is whether Haru is comfortable with it or not!
04:56Watch Haru closely!
04:58It's easy to overlook signs of stress in cats!
05:01Owning a cat is a lot harder than I thought it'd be!
05:04By the way, is Haru a boy or a girl?
05:08Huh?
05:09Haru's a... girl?
05:11Oh, then you should get her a cute super girly collar!
05:15What type... I mean, what color is she?
05:18Uh, she's black with, like, these white triangles around her eyes and mouth and chest...
05:23Yay, you've got a tuxedo kitty!
05:26I have a tuxedo kitty!
05:27I have a tuxedo kitty at home myself!
05:29Mine's a boy, though!
05:30She's freaking out!
05:32Do people really love their cats this much?
05:34A little help over here?
05:35Uh, be right there!
05:36Excuse me for a sec, and take your time, we'll make sure you find the perfect collar for Haru!
05:42Uh, okay.
05:54I mean, does it really matter which one I get?
05:57I doubt Haru's gonna care, it's all for the person buying it.
06:01Look at that! I knew it! That blue sweater is so lovely on you!
06:08Geez, Mom, it's just a sweater.
06:11Oh, I know. It just feels good when something I get you looks as nice as I thought.
06:16Thank you for your patience, ma'am!
06:42Um, I'll take this one.
06:44Ooh! I think you made an excellent choice!
06:47That bow! I'm sure Haru's gonna love it!
06:50Uh, yeah.
06:51Great! I'll wrap it up for you.
06:54I will never get used to this.
07:00Are you a cat owner too, young man?
07:04Me? I am?
07:06Crap! A complete stranger is initiating a conversation with me!
07:09But mine is not as calm as this one.
07:14Wait! That sounded normal.
07:17Well, this gentleman is mellowed out a lot in his old age.
07:22But when he goes to the vet, Mr. Fluffybridge's here goes crazy.
07:26Doesn't matter how old they get, some things will never change.
07:29Sorry. Is he sick?
07:31What? Not at all. I mean for check-ups. Don't you take your cat to those?
07:37Check-ups? No, I haven't had mine for very long, so I haven't taken her to a check-up.
07:43What?! You mean you haven't taken Haru to see a vet?!
07:47Stray cats can carry all kinds of diseases!
07:50They have to get shots and things!
07:52Come on! You have to do that today!
07:54What? Really? But how?
07:56We're affiliated with an animal hospital nearby.
07:59I can refer you.
08:00Oh, do you have a cat carrier?
08:02You're gonna need one to take Haru there.
08:04This one works for average cats.
08:06Haru's about average, right?
08:07And don't forget the collar! I'll put it in here!
08:10Good luck with everything!
08:11Yeah, thanks for all your help with this stuff.
08:15Haru? We're ready to see you now!
08:21Well, this little lady was a stray until very recently, was she?
08:28She's quite a plumper for a stray, though!
08:32Doctor, this is an initial visit.
08:36Let's see. You hold her still for me. I'll have a look.
08:41Haha! Plump and feisty!
08:43Well, she's certainly getting proper nutrition!
08:46So, uh, doctor, is Haru getting too fat?
08:51Hmm, she's still within a healthy weight range right now.
08:54I'd just say she's got a little bit extra.
08:57With a face like that, I'm sure it's hard to refuse when she wants a treat.
09:01Huh? Well, I...
09:02Obesity in cats is dangerous, though, because it puts stress on the heart and the respiratory system.
09:08And that can be fatal, so you'll want to be careful not to overfeed.
09:11Fatal?
09:12Yep, fatal.
09:13But to be honest, I'm a lot more worried about your weight than hers, kid.
09:17A strong wind would knock you over. You need to eat a cheeseburger. Or ten.
09:22Ha ha ha ha!
09:24Sir, keep comments like that to yourself! We talked about this!
09:26I take my cat to an animal hospital and I'm the one who gets examined?
09:35And I'm sure I've never given Haru a treat.
09:38Yeah, he'd just gotten too fat. He was a stray when I found him, you know.
09:43It's just hard to undo all those years on the street. He empties his bowl in one sitting.
09:48In one sitting?
09:49This deadline crept up on me so fast!
09:58It might be glued to my computer for a while. Better give her a little more than usual.
10:03I'm sure she'll stop when she's full.
10:11Don't want her to starve.
10:12Not a star.
10:18It's totally my fault she's a fatty!
10:21Anyway, I had to put him on a diet and it's worked.
10:23Really? What kind of diet?
10:25Yeah, lady. What kind?
10:27Well, you see, when meal time comes...
10:29Mikazuki!
10:31Miss Haru Mikazuki? Ready to check out?
10:33Yeah!
10:35The worst timing ever!
10:36Here's a card for you with all our info.
10:39Also, here are some helpful tips for keeping Haru feeling her best between appointments.
10:44Great.
10:46I guess there's more to it than just giving her food and water.
10:49Geez, I had no idea it would be so hard.
10:56Leave her alone!
10:58Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!
11:03My dog, he didn't hurt your cat, did he?
11:06What? No. She'll be alright, thanks. Sorry for the trouble!
11:10Hold on! Are you the boy from next door?
11:16Who would have thought?
11:21At last, home sweet home.
11:23I'm not leaving again for a very long time.
11:29I'm gonna put my phone on do not disturb.
11:31I don't want to see another human for-
11:34Hey! Subaru, you live here?
11:38It is you!
11:40Oh! The girl from the pet store!
11:43Who would have guessed we live in the same neighborhood?
11:45What are the odds?
11:47Hey, by the way, how'd the appointment go?
11:50They said she's a little plumper than she should be.
11:53Ah, sounds familiar.
11:56Mine was overweight, but I got him back down to a healthy weight again recently.
11:59How?! Tell me how you did it!
12:04What the heck is the matter with me?
12:10She's off the clock, she doesn't have to help me now.
12:13I'm losing it.
12:14I know how to use the internet. I'll figure it out.
12:20Ah, I'm sorry. Just forget about it.
12:24I'm done. I want nothing to do with people from here on out.
12:28Hey, um, if you want, I could tell you a little bit about my cat's diet.
12:37But I guess, there are people who know things I don't.
12:42The more I learn, the more I find out what I don't know.
12:44If she knows what I can do...
12:50Yes! I'd be honored if you would teach me about cat diets!
12:54Whoa! Easy! It's not really that big of a deal.
12:58I'm no expert, but I'd be happy to tell you what worked for me.
13:03And besides, we neighbors have to look out for each other, you know?
13:09Well, got a hungry cat to feed.
13:13Bye now. See you tomorrow.
13:23I'm so tired.
13:29Geez, Haru. You know, none of this would be happening to me if it weren't for you, right?
13:42All right, this thing. Guess I'll try to put it on.
13:58Outmatched by a creature that's one-tenth my size!
14:07If that's how it's gonna be, I have no choice!
14:13Make sure not to give her too much.
14:15Now! It worked! Does she hate it?
14:36She doesn't seem to mind it.
14:39That blue sweater is so lovely on you!
14:48I have my own little world.
14:50But now other people's worlds are flowing into it.
14:53And mine grows little by little.
14:56It's still pretty bewildering.
14:59But slowly, I might get used to it.
15:01Meow!
15:05I'm in hell!
15:07Touch me and I swear I'll bite!
15:09I'll miss this awful place!
15:11He burst in the door and rushed me over here, but this is all way too scary!
15:16Hey bud, are you okay?
15:18Yeah, I'm very brave!
15:20I'm not scared at all!
15:22I've been here before. Three times, in fact!
15:24Coming here is no big deal!
15:26Ignore that! I told you, I'm not afraid!
15:30Kagawa!
15:32Leo, Kagawa, we're ready for you!
15:34I wanna go home!
15:36Please just take me home to my bed!
15:38What do they do to animals in here?
15:41No, I can't let it get to me.
15:44If I let myself show weakness because I'm scared...
15:48I won't be able to protect him!
15:52Showing weakness means you lose.
15:53That's the way of the world!
15:55I can't control it!
15:56Haru?
15:57We're ready to see you now!
16:01Okay, open up so we can have a look inside your mind!
16:05Come on!
16:07I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared!
16:10Why are you doing this?
16:11How can you do such awful things to me?
16:14I was right all along!
16:16All humans are mean to cats!
16:19And you?
16:20How can you just sit there and watch?
16:24Is he like them?
16:26Mean and cruel like the rest?
16:28Ugh...
16:30That was a living hell.
16:36No! What now?!
16:37Who are you?!
16:38Are you trying to start a fight with me?!
16:39Hey kitty!
16:41I've seen you before!
16:42I know you!
16:44Huh?
16:46You live in the house next door, don't you?
16:48I've always wanted to meet you.
16:49I hope that we could be friends someday.
16:52I've been watching that house for a very long time.
16:55There used to be a nice old lady who lived over there too.
16:59I loved her. She would always give me pets.
17:03I haven't seen her recently.
17:05It's been a long time, I think.
17:07I wonder where that nice lady went.
17:09What? I don't know.
17:11Besides, no humans are nice. They're all mean.
17:14This place is proof of that.
17:16What? But I always have fun when I come here.
17:19You're so weird.
17:20One time, I hurt my paw so bad that I couldn't do my favorite thing in the world.
17:24Go on walks outside.
17:26But then I came here and I could go on walks again after that.
17:29Ever since then, I don't mind coming to this place at all.
17:33Huh? But why am I here? I don't feel hurt anywhere.
17:36They just want to poke and prod and torture me.
17:39Oh. Well maybe your person was worried that you might be hurting and wanted to bring you here to sea.
17:45Worried? But I'm the one who has to worry about him all the time.
17:48Hmm. But that's just what family does. You worry about each other.
17:53Family? What's that mean?
17:56I'm not sure.
17:59But still, my mom and dad, and my big sister, they all call me their family so it must be good.
18:06They're great. I love them all so much.
18:10When they feel sad, I do too. And I try to cheer them up.
18:13Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
18:19Worried. Worried?
18:22Ah!
18:24Come on! Wanna play with me?
18:26Hey!
18:28Leave her alone!
18:30Was he worried just now?
18:31Huh?
18:32Maybe... he is my family.
18:40You don't need to be worried about me, human.
18:43Worry about yourself. You're in worse shape than I am.
18:46Hmm? What? That's a very serious look on your face.
19:01I know! You finally realized you're a terrible hunter and you want me to help you get better!
19:05That sounds fun! I set the challenge!
19:11Ha-ha!
19:15That poor, big, slow human will never be able to catch me, of course.
19:19Hmm? Hmm?
19:23Food!
19:25Food!
19:30What's this?
19:32What's around my neck?
19:34Huh?
19:36He's got that worried look going on again.
19:41I'm fine. Don't worry, okay?
19:43As you can see, I'm eating so everything is wonderful.
19:47Huh?
19:49He's petting me.
19:51Feels warm.
19:52I like this.
19:56I must be extra happy because I'm full.
19:59Come on, don't just sit and watch me. You have to eat, too.
20:03Huh?
20:05What is that?
20:08Hold on. The sound.
20:11I've heard it somewhere before.
20:14Huh?
20:22Huh?
20:23What a pretty cat.
20:25If I have a thing that makes this sound, it must mean I'm pretty, too!
20:31He-he-he-he!
20:33He-he-he!
20:35He-he-he!
20:37He-he-he!
20:39He-he-he!
20:41He-he-he!
20:43I'm pretty! Yay!
20:45I'm a pretty kitty!
20:46I can't stand that stupid bell!
20:49He-hey!
20:53Why did you take away my pretty noisy thing?!
20:55Boo!
20:56Hey!
21:14Hey!
