[Yuichi and Makoto are talking on a bridge, where underneath is a busy street. Makoto is holding the cat she found earlier over the edge]
What are you going to do about that cat? It'd be nice if we take it home, but Nayuki would be...
Why bother. I had my pork bun, so I don't need it anymore.
How could you say that? You don't think it's cute when it's taken such a liking to you?
All animals get thrown away when they are no longer wanted. You don't think so?
Well, there are people who think that way, too, but...
We should send it back to the wild before it gets domesticated and learns what peace is.
Return to the wild? [Makoto, completely unfazed, drops the cat into oncoming traffic, but it survives by landing on a truck]
There it goes.
[Yelling] What are you doing?
Wh-Why are you angry?
How could you be calm after doing that? It could end up who knows where and die!
It'll manage somehow! The truck driver might take care of it.
Why are you so irresponsible?!
What responsibilities do I have?! It's the cat that followed me! [Yuichi pulls back to slap her, and Makoto winces, anticipating the hit; Yuichi stops himself and lowers his hand]
You idiot!
Aū. [Makoto starts to cry]
You can't take back what you did even if you cry.
Yuichi, you jerk! [Makoto runs away]
Hey, Makoto! [He waits, watching her go]
