Overwhelmed by Cats and at a Loss

-

Only one of us didn't turn into a cat. Can you guess who?

[Hagi the Cat]

Six months after Hagiwara died, Matsuda found a cat.

A filthy ragdoll huddled in the darkness, watching him intently with violet eyes bright as stars.

Matsuda froze for a moment. Then the cat pounced on him and clung tight.

"Hey!"

"Meow!"

Unable to get free, Matsuda watched as the cat wrapped its tail around his hand, staring up at him with pleading purple eyes as it meowed pitifully.

Matsuda was silent for a long time.

"I must be going crazy..."

He was seeing a trace of Hagi in a cat.

-

After being blown up, Hagiwara became an amnesiac ragdoll cat.

With no memories, Hagi the Cat instinctively avoided unfamiliar humans. After living alone in the city for half a year, one evening it decided it had found the perfect owner!

The kitty latched onto its future owner!

The kitty successfully thawed its owner's icy heart!

The kitty was taken home!

The kitty happily gobbled down the cat food its owner had made and held its tail high.

"Meow!"

[Jinpei the Cat]

When Matsuda set foot on the Ferris wheel without hesitation and vanished into the fireworks, Hagi the Cat's memories returned in an instant.

Beneath the Ferris wheel, Hagi the Cat found a filthy black cat.

Jinpei the Cat, with no memory, hissed viciously at passersby, but the moment Hagi the Cat approached, he fell silent.

Hagi the Cat took the amnesiac Jinpei the Cat to stay with his sister.

[Hiromitsu the Cat]

After raising a gun to himself on the rooftop and pulling the trigger, a blue-eyed cat opened its eyes in a corner of an abandoned building.

The amnesiac cat fled the dangerous place on instinct, wandering through the city until the longing deep in its heart led it back to Nagano.

-

"A cat?"

Hiromitsu Takaaki reached out and caught the blue-eyed cat as it leapt toward him, then gently began to groom its fur.

The cat flicked its tail and meowed softly.

"Would you let me adopt you?"

Hiromitsu Takaaki smiled and asked quietly.

"Meow."

Of course.

-

Mr. Takaaki, your cat is waiting for you to come home.

[Reunion at Last]

"Mr. Amuro."

"What is it?"

"There are so many cats outside... They're all looking at you."

Amuro Toru turned around. Five cat heads were crowded in front of the cafe's glass door, all staring straight at him.

Amuro Toru: ...

"Meow!"

Amuro Toru walked over.

Amuro Toru opened the door.

Amuro Toru was buried beneath a pile of pouncing cats.
