After meeting a deadline, Subaru sleeps well into the afternoon. When he finally wakes, he's greeted by an email from Hiroto announcing that his sister Narumi and her friend Haru-chan will be paying him a visit.

He wants to share it with Haru, but Haru-chan says human food isn't healthy for cats and offers to make some cat-safe homemade food for her.
