Nekonade — Season 1, Episode 10: The Courage to Claim that the Pinnacle of Life is This Moment

Episode synopsis

Before heading to work, Onizuka Taro stops by Tora's room to feed the two cats, finding their behavior so endearing that he tries to capture the moment on his phone—his first time taking a picture. As the trainees arrive, Asami uses the excuse of forgetting something to sneak away and enter the apartment via the balcony. She feeds the cats snacks, which they eagerly devour, ignoring the food Onizuka had given them. Onizuka, hidden in the kitchen, watches the scene unfold and realizes his secret of keeping the cats has been discovered. Shaken, he heads to work, unable to calm his nerves after being caught.
