[00:16] Oshiro
    It's Monday. This sucks. I'm tired.
    I don't want to work.
[00:19] Oshiro
    I can't believe it's still
    so early in the afternoon.
[00:22] Oshiro
    I want to go home.
[00:28] Yuri
    It's the Monday blues...
[00:31] Yuri
    The malaise I'm feeling is unbearable, too.
[00:34] Saku
    Yeah, the first day of the work
    week is always rough.
[00:37] Oshiro
    Yeah, right. Fukuzawa, you come
    in every Monday raring to go.
[00:43] Oshiro
    You looked so alert this morning!
[00:46] Yuri
    Are you doing something to fight the blues?
[00:48] Saku
    Huh? Not really.
[00:52] Oshiro
    Maybe you're drinking some
    super rare enzyme or something!
[00:56] Yuri
    Or maybe you see an osteopathic
    doctor that has godly hands?!
[00:59] Saku
    What kind of image do you have of me?!
[01:03] Saku; Internal
    Am I doing anything?
[01:10] Narration**
    Sunday night.
[01:12] (Flashback) Saku
    It's coming!
[01:14] (Flashback) Saku
    It's almost here!
[01:15] (Flashback) Saku
    Monday is almost here!
[01:18] (Flashback) Saku
    Who said it has to come?!
[01:20] (Flashback) Saku
    It's crazy that we only have two days to
    rest when we work so hard for five days!
[01:23] (Flashback) Saku
    I don't want to squeeze
    into a full train car again!

    Sunday night, continued...
[03:05] (Flashback) Saku
    I don't want to squeeze

[03:08] (Flashback) Saku
    Monday is almost here!
[03:10] (Flashback) Saku

    It's crazy that we only have two days to

    This is Saae!

SIGN    Push
[03:19] (Flashback) Saku
    I just heard Saae-san's voice.
SIGN    Fluster
[03:23] (Flashback) Saku
    It's all over!
[03:25] Narration
    Sunday, that is.
[03:27] (Flashback) Saku
    I want to go back to Friday night!
[03:29] (Flashback) Saku
    Or I want to jump forward
    to next Friday night!
[03:32] (Flashback) Saku
    Why can't every day be Saturday?!
SIGN    Poff
SIGN    Push...
[03:37] (Flashback) Saku
    What're you...
SIGN    Breathe in Breath out
SIGN    Sniff
[03:44] (Flashback) Saku
    It smells so good.
[03:46] (Flashback) Saku
    Thanks, I feel so much calmer.
SIGN    Sniff
[03:49] (Flashback) Saku
    Why do your toe beans smell like happiness?
[03:54] (Flashback) Saku
    They smell like the sun,
    but a little sweeter.
SIGN    Sniff
SIGN    Not sure how to
     feel about this
[03:58] (Flashback) Saku
    Something like popcorn.
[04:02] (Flashback) Saku
    I want to carry around this
    scent and warmth with me.
[04:05] (Flashback) Saku
    Maybe mankind needs to carry around
    cats instead of smartphones?
[04:10] (Flashback) Saku
    I could survive a full train car with...
[04:13] (Flashback) Saku
    Full train car?
[04:17] (Flashback) Saku
    A full train car?!
[04:19] (Flashback) Saku
    Monday is coming!
SIGN    Huff
[04:28] Narration
    Three hours later...
[04:31] (Flashback) Saku
    I want to live in the countryside.
[04:33] (Flashback) Saku
    I don't want to live such
     a busy lifestyle in the city.
[04:36] (Flashback) Saku
    I want a slow lifestyle where two train cars
SIGN    Whimper
[04:39] (Flashback) Saku
    are spacious enough to
    fit all the commuters.
[04:42] (Flashback) Saku
    I've always wanted to live in
    an old house that's been renovated.
SIGN    Warmth
[04:46] (Flashback) Saku
    Maybe you can open up a small
    Japanese-style restaurant, Yukichi.
[04:49] (Flashback) Saku
    We could have a little
    vegetable field in the forest.
[04:55] Narration
    The forest.
[04:57] Narration
    Bears.
[05:01] (Flashback) Hunter
    It's a bear!
SIGN    Meow
[05:04] Narration
    Shooing accident!
[05:06] (Flashback) Saku
    Huh? Why not?!
[05:08] (Flashback) Saku
    Is it because you're so
    attached to our house?!
[05:12] (Flashback) Saku
    Ugh, I can't sleep.
[05:15] (Flashback) Saku
    Can I drink a beer?
[05:17] (Flashback) Saku
    I'll brush my teeth again afterward.
[05:21] (Flashback) Saku
    But I can't fall asleep at this rate!
SIGN    Purr
[05:28] (Flashback) Saku
    What's with this superbly
    comfortable vibration?
[05:36] Narration
    Mission complete.
[05:47] Saku
    I don't think I do anything
    particularly special.
[05:54] Saku
    Well, maybe my cat lets me
    cuddle more on Sundays?
[06:00] Oshiro
    It gets more clingy because
    it knows you're leaving?
[06:03] Oshiro
    How cute!
[06:05] Saku
    No, he's not really that type of cat.
[06:09] Yuri
    Cats are full of healing properties.
[06:12] Yuri
    I heard that their toe beans and purring
    have huge effects on people!
[06:17] Yuri
    I've read that the pheromones from their
    toe beans have a calming effect on people.
[06:22] Yuri
    Their purring is thought to
    alleviate stress, expedite healing,
[06:26] Yuri
    and strengthen the immune system.
[06:29] Yuri
    The effects are significant enough that there's
    even research for the use of cat therapy!
[06:34] Oshiro
    Aren't cats a little too overpowered?!
    Maybe I should get one, too.
[06:36] Saku; Internal
    So...
[06:38] Yuri
    You'll end up an old maid.
[06:39] Oshiro
    What?!
[06:39] Saku; Internal
    I was getting cat therapy!
[06:43] Narration
    A world where every person carries a cat.
SIGN    Sniff
     Snort
     Huff
     Sniff
     Heave
[06:49] Saku
    Wouldn't that solve everything?!
[06:52] Saku
    Am I a genius?!
[06:55] Narration
    The eyes of a cat looking at an idiot.
[06:58] Train Announcer
    Thank you very much.
[07:08] Saku; Internal
    Lately, Yukichi has been making*
    some weird rhythmic noises.
[07:13] Saku; Internal
    He does it while he's doing housework
    or if he's in a good mood.
[07:19] Saku; Internal
    I've been writing it off
    as some random humming, but...
[07:23] Saku; Internal
    I realized something after going to
    the concert at the aquarium
[07:26] Saku; Internal
    and listening to their music a lot.
[07:30] Saku; Internal
    He's beatboxing to UMYU-Sea's songs!
[07:34] Saku; Internal
    And the thing he's doing right now...
[07:37] UMYU-Sea
    We're not clione sea angels!
[07:42] UMYU-Sea
    We're...
[07:43] UMYU-Sea
    We're...
[07:44] UMYU-Sea
    Idols of the sea!
[07:45] Saku; Internal
    It's their debut single,
    "We're Not Clione Sea Angels"!
[07:52] Saku; Internal
    He's so talented!
[07:53] Saku; Internal
    This is a great song. I love it, too!
[07:56] Saku; Internal
    I want to tell him that, but I can't!
[08:01] Saku; Internal
    Last time, when I snuck a shot of Yukichi
    dancing since he was so darn cute...
[08:13] Saku
    No! No! No! No!
[08:13] Saku; Internal
    He got so mad he never
    danced like that again.
[08:15] Saku
    I'm not deleting it! I'm not!
[08:20] Saku; Internal
    If he thinks I'm teasing him again,
    he'll never let me hear his beatboxing!
[08:27] Saku; Internal
    Maybe it's okay as long as it
    doesn't seem like I'm teasing him?
[08:31] Saku; Internal
    Yeah, like...
[08:35] Saku
    That was some amazing
    beatboxing! It was so moving!
SIGN    Compliment
[08:40] Saku; Internal
    Yeah, he'd definitely get angry.
[08:44] Saku; Internal
    Maybe I could join in nonchalantly?
[08:47] Saku
    We're not clione sea angels!
SIGN    Anger
[08:52] Saku; Internal
    How about adding an offhanded request?
[08:54] Saku
    Oh! I want to hear
    "Sesame and Salt Parade" next!
SIGN    Anger
[08:59] Saku; Internal
    Maybe I should challenge him
    to a sudden beatbox battle?
SIGN    Doom Doom Don
     Tsk Tsk Housh Yeah!
SIGN    Anger
[09:06] Saku; Internal
    It's no use!
[09:07] Saku; Internal
    I can't think of a way to bring it up
    without being annoying!
[09:10] Saku; Internal
    And I've never beatboxed before!
[09:16] Saku; Internal
    He'll close his heart to me
    forever if I'm too careless.
[09:20] Saku; Internal
    I'm sure the door to his heart will be
    harder to open than Ama-no-Iwato.
[09:26] Saku; Internal
    Ama-no-Iwato?!
[09:35] TV
    We're not clione sea angels!
[09:39] TV
    We're...
[09:40] TV
    We're...
[09:42] TV
    Idols of the sea!
SIGN    Sway...
[09:49] TV
    All of the sea and the sky.
[09:50] Saku; Internal
    All right! He took the bait!
[09:51] Saku; Internal
    Now, join me, Yukichi!
[09:53] TV
    We'll protect all of the earth.
SIGN    Yank
SIGN    Pull
[09:58] Saku
    Uh, Yukichi?
[09:59] Saku
    Yukichi-san?
SIGN    Rewind 30 seconds
SIGN    Beep
[10:03] Saku; Internal
    No. This isn't it.
SIGN    Stare...
[10:05] Saku; Internal
    This isn't what I was hoping for!
[10:08] Saku; Internal
    Hey!
[10:10] Saku
    I was forced to practice for two hours...
SIGN    Wheeze Pant
[10:20] Narration
    Doesn't realize he's doing it out loud.
[10:25] Saku
    I'm home, Yukichi.
[10:29] Saku
    I'm already at my limit.
    I can't move another muscle.
[10:34] Saku
    I don't even have the energy to eat.
[10:39] Saku
    Th-The smell of pork soup,
    hokke fish, and Chinese salad!
[10:44] Saku
    Thanks for the meal!
[10:48] Saku
    So delicious!
[10:49] Saku
    Eating Yukichi's food is
    the best when you're tired.
[10:53] Saku
    I can feel the warmth!
[10:56] Saku
    Do you have another
    serving of this pork soup?!
[11:02] Saku
    Huh? What's this?!
SIGN    Hmph!!
[11:04] Saku
    I'm allowed to drink another one today?!
[11:07] Saku
    What's going on?!
[11:26] Saku
    It's the weekend!
[11:28] Saku
    I'm going to laze around all day!
[11:31] Saku
    Ow!
SIGN    Gonk
[11:32] Saku
    What?!
[11:34] Saku
    You should let me pet you a bit!
[11:39] Saku
    What's the point of having such
    luxurious fur if I can't pet it?
[11:42] Saku
    Stingy!
SIGN    Zmoosh...
[11:45] Saku
    I'm sorry for being cocky!
[11:47] Saku
    A cat's luxurious fur is all for itself!
[11:51] Saku
    I'm so sorry!
[11:54] Narration
    Sunday.
[11:59] Saku
    I slept so well.
[12:01] Saku
    It's already the afternoon.
[12:02] Saku
    Yukichi?
[12:06] Saku
    Huh? Did he go shopping?
[12:09] Saku
    Oh, I see brunch waiting for me!
[12:11] Saku
    Thanks for the mea...
[12:14] Narration
    Yukichi's purse.
[12:16] Saku
    Huh?
[12:18] Saku
    Huh? Huh?
[12:19] Saku
    His purse?! There's money in it!
[12:21] Saku
    Huh?!
[12:23] Saku
    Yukichi actually forgot something?!
[12:26] Saku;Internal
    Maybe he has a fever?!
[12:28] Saku;Internal
    People say that animals tend to
    hide the fact that they're sick!
[12:32] Saku;Internal
    No. No. I'm probably overreacting.
[12:36] Saku;Internal
    Huh?
[12:38] Saku;Internal
    But where do I take him if he's really sick?!
[12:43] Saku;Internal
    NASA?!
[12:44] Saku
    Yukichi!
[12:51] Saku
    Oh! Nishina-san!
[12:52] Rio
    Welco...
[12:55] Rio
    Whoa! Yukichi-san's...
[12:57] Rio
    I-It's been a while.
[13:00] Saku
    Oh! I'm sorry about leaving
    you behind like that last time.
[13:03] (Flashback) Rio
    S-Someone! Help!
[13:05] (Flashback) Ex-Boyfriend
    A bear?!
[13:07] (Flashback) Rio
    Don't call me stupid!
[13:09] (Flashback) Ex-Boyfriend
    You stupid bear!
[13:32] Saku
    Were you all right after?
[13:35] Rio
    I really wanted to thank you
    for helping me last time.
[13:39] Rio
    He actually stopped bothering me after that.
[13:42] Rio
    Please let me thank you properly sometime!
[13:44] Saku
    No, no! You don't need to do that!
[13:46] Saku
    I even let you take care
    of the police last time...
[13:49] Rio
    U-Um, may I ask you for your name?!
[13:52] Saku
    Oh, I'm Fukuzawa.
[13:54] Saku; Internal
    This reminds me of
    the first time I met Yuri-chan.
[13:57] Yuri
    Senpai!
[13:58] Rio
    Fukuzawa-san...
[14:00] Rio
    Oh, so, Yukichi-san must be Fukuzawa Yuki—
[14:05] Saku
    That's right.
[14:06] Saku
    My parents were planning to give me
    that name if I'd been a boy.
[14:10] Saku
    That's right! Did Yukichi stop by here?!
[14:13] Rio
    Y-Yes, he did.
[14:17] Rio
    He was getting a very warm welcome
     from our manager over there...
[14:21] Manager
    Thank you for visiting our store once again!
[14:24] Manager
    Did you have any problems
    during your visit today?
[14:25] Saku; Internal
    Why?!
[14:26] Manager
    Our cat goods are fully
    stocked today, as well!
[14:26] Rio
    Our manager really likes cats. I'm sorry.
[14:30] Saku
    Oh, no. Thank you.
[14:30] Manager
    Please take your time to browse our wares!
[14:32] Saku
    I'm sorry for letting a cat shop
    at a store that sells food.
[14:36] Rio
    The manager allows it.
[14:39] Rio
    I'm sure it's fine since we've never
    gotten a complaint about him, either.
[14:42] Rio
    Actually, people seem to like his visits.
[14:45] Saku
    I-I see. Thank goodness.
[14:49] Saku; Internal
    We live together, but there's
    a lot I don't know about him.
[14:53] Saku; Internal
    He's more familiar with
    the neighborhood than I am.
[14:57] Saku
    Oh, I should go say hello to the manager.
[15:03] Saku; Internal
    As his owner.
[15:04] Rio
    Oh, wait! If possible, please stay hidden.
[15:08] Rio
    It'll be really gross if he discovers
    new information about Yukichi-san
[15:12] Rio
    and he gets even more fixated.
[15:15] Saku; Internal
    Looks like he's way more familiar
    with others than I thought.
[15:19] Rio
    Oh! He's finally escaped!
[15:22] Saku
    Hey, Yukichi!
[15:25] Rio
    Good work.
[15:29] Saku
    You forgot your purse, so I brought it over.
[15:32] Saku
    Jeez! How can you go shopping without money?
[15:36] Rio
    Money? Huh? But Yukichi-san...
SIGN    Swp...
[15:42] Rio
    Doesn't he pay with his card now?
[15:44] Saku; Internal
    Cashless?!
[15:47] Rio
    Thank you.
[15:49] Rio
    He started using it right after we
    started our reward points program.
[15:53] Rio
    He uses the point card and
    coupons very skillfully.
[15:56] Saku
    Such a fearsome cat!
[16:03] Saku
    I jumped to conclusions,
    but I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.
[16:07] Saku
    I thought you were running a fever
    when I discovered you forgot something.
[16:11] Saku
    I'm sure there aren't many veterinarians
    that could examine you, Yukichi.
[16:15] Saku
    What should we do in the future?
SIGN    Nakayoshi Animal Hospital
[16:21] Saku
    No way!
[16:22] Saku
    That's a normal animal hospital!
[16:25] Saku
    I only took you there once
    when you were a kitten!
[16:28] Saku
    Let's hurry home!
[16:29] Saku
    I'm hungry!
[16:33] Saku
    Come on! Rare! Come on!
[16:36] Narration
    Since she brought the cash,
SIGN    Gacha
    Gacha
    Gacha
[16:37] Saku
    Come on! Rare! Come on!
[16:38] Narration
    she gave Yukichi permission for extra
    tries on the UMYU-Sea gacha machine.
[16:45] Yukichi; Internal
    I am a cat.
[16:48] Yukichi; Internal
    Ever since that snowy night,
    I've found it to be strange.
[16:58] Yukichi; Internal
    Why doesn't anyone come to collect
    the garbage from this trash dump?
[17:04] Yukichi; Internal
    And why doesn't this human
    mind this wretched state?!
[17:11] Yukichi; Internal
    Now she's even sleeping
    at the front entrance?!
SIGN    Meow
[17:18] Saku
    Huh? It's morning?!
[17:20] Saku
    Whoa! Sorry, Yukichi!
[17:22] Saku
    You must be hungry!
[17:23] Saku
    I'll pour you some kibble
    and water right now!
[17:25] Yukichi; Internal
    Though she never forgets
    to take care of me.
[17:30] Saku
    Hurry! Hurry!
[17:32] Yukichi; Internal
    She fails to take care of herself.
[17:36] Yukichi; Internal
    A stray cat knows.
[17:39] Saku
    Shoot! I'm missing a button! Oh, who cares!
[17:39] Yukichi; Internal
    A creature that cannot even take care
    of itself cannot live for long.
[17:43] Yukichi; Internal
    She'll just drag me down with her if I stay.
[17:46] Yukichi; Internal
    I should leave as soon as I find the chance.
[17:49] Saku
    I'm off!
[17:58] Yukichi; Internal
    The perfect chance!
[18:00] Yukichi; Internal
    Now, is the time to leave!
[18:08] Mei
    My, what a lovely day.
[18:12] Yukichi; Internal
    That human is carrying trash bags with her.
[18:15] Yukichi; Internal
    Today must be trash day!
[18:19] Yukichi; Internal
    Well, I can take care of a bag
    to pay her back for her kindness.
[18:41] Yukichi; Internal
    It was so easy.
    Anyone should be able to do this.
[18:45] Yukichi; Internal
    I should take another out.
[18:48] Yukichi; Internal
    No! No!
[18:49] Yukichi; Internal
    What am I trying to go back for?!
[18:53] Mei
    Oh, no.
[18:55] Mei
    Saku-chan left her door open.
[18:58] Mei
    She really doesn't look after herself.
[19:01] Yukichi; Internal
    So that human is called Saku.
[19:03] Mei
    I should at least close the door for her.
[19:07] Yukichi; Internal
    Please do so.
[19:09] Yukichi; Internal
    "Saku."
[19:10] Yukichi; Internal
    I will remember your name...
[19:18] Yukichi; Internal
    ...though we will probably
    never cross paths again.
[19:29] (Flashback) Saku
    I'm late!
[19:30] (Flashback) Saku
    I fell asleep in my suit!
[19:33] (Flashback) Saku
    A c-c-cockroach in the b-b-bathroom!
SIGN    Yukichi's House
[19:39] (Flashback) Saku
    Yukichi...
[19:49] (Flashback) Saku
    I bought some cans of cat food!
[20:11] (Flashback) Saku
    If you have nowhere to go,
    how about coming with me?
[20:21] Mei
    Did something just run by?
[20:28] Yukichi; Internal
    What?
[20:30] Yukichi; Internal
    I thought of her stupid face
    and my body moved on its own.
[20:41] Yukichi; Internal
    I see.
[20:43] Yukichi; Internal
    This place must already be my home.
SIGN    Yukichi's House
