Tập 13: Một nhà thiết kế đối mặt với việc biến mất sau khi nhận ra mình sinh vào Năm Con Mèo

13

A young designer is working late with his coworker Mitsuki, who discusses the myth of the Cat in the Chinese Zodiac - the Cat killed the Rat on its way to heaven, and was removed from the zodiac as divine punishment; those born in the Year of the Cat vanish when God learns of their existence. He dismisses the idle chatter, and harshly criticizes Mitsuki's project. Later, Mitsuki tells him about a design contest with a substantial prize; the young man suggests that they both submit designs, but silently disparages Mitsuki. The next day, their supervisor informs him that, because he missed the deadline, the company will enter Mitsuki's design into the contest. He realizes Mitsuki sabotaged him by giving him the wrong deadline. The next day, on his way into work, he greets a coworker and his supervisor, who ignore him entirely. Mitsuki approaches him and asks what's wrong; he sees he's melting into water. He recalls the myth, and realizes he must have been born in the Year of the Cat; soon, all that remains of him is a puddle and one of his earrings, which Mitsuki picks up before quietly bidding him goodbye.
