Synopsis[]
Sara Chidouin and Joe Tazuna search for a stray cat's owner. In the meantime, Sara worries over a stalker.
Summary[]
Sara Chidouin wakes up at her desk after school from a strange dream to a text message from her friend Ryoko. Ryoko is asking after their mutual friend and Ryoko's date, Joe Tazuna who never showed up to their meeting place.
Sara comes across Joe fretting over a hurt stray cat outside the school. Although it's raining outside, Joe can't bear to leave it alone and Sara is equally convinced they need to find it a home. So, Sara decides to take it home for the time being.
While her father agrees for the night, Sara's mother is allergic to cats and they can't really keep it. Still, Sara's mom fawns over the cat and names it 'Kuro.' Meanwhile, Sara becomes aware of someone watching her, even in the privacy of her bedroom.
The following day, Joe goes around asking classmates if they would adopt the cat, but the responses are less than enthusiastic. They go through this routine for a week, with the constant shadow of Sara's stalker following her, until at last one of their peers contact them about Kuro.
Takagi from class-C's mother had been listless since she had lost her last pet and was struck by how much Kuro reminded her of her old pet. They agree to adopt him, which is supposed to be a happy occasion. Despite her accepting attitude, Sara is disappointed and sad to part with Kuro.
As they leave, Joe presents Sara with a cute cat keychain that he won from a crane game that looks just like Kuro. Sara happily accepts it.
Late after school, Sara wakes up at her desk again, only this time she's the last one out. Thankfully, Joe is waiting for her at the school gates after his date with Ryoko and walks her home. Joe makes it clear he is aware of her stalker issues and her trouble sleeping, to Sara's surprise. Just then, they're accosted by a frightening figure, and Sara, terrified of her stalker, pulls Joe into a run home.
Once they reach home, Sara sees her mom collapsed near the entryway. Joe calls the police as Sara goes to her room in search of her dad. There, a bunch of hands reaches out to grab her, and she blacks out.
When she wakes once again, she finds herself and Joe strapped down on beds next to each other. An announcement coming from a cellphone in Joe's pocket says they have 15 minutes to leave the execution site. Sara then sees another room next to theirs through a glass window, with a girl in a similar position. Moments later the bed the girl is in snaps up in half, crushing her with a thud.
Sara is pulled out of her shock by Joe finding the key to open their locks, but they are further interrupted by another announcement stating that there is only one key.
The cellphone with the timer ticking down says: "First Trial, The Two Person Vote."
