cats!

Kohaku

There's something strange about these cats...

Kohaku

They're moving so slowly, almost as if...

Kohaku

No way! It's just like what Senku described about the petrification!

Kohaku

(But how is this possible? And why only cats?)

Kohaku

I have to warn the others. Senku needs to see this!

Kohaku

If cats are turning to stone, who knows what could be next?

Kohaku

They're everywhere! It's like a forest of cat statues!

Kohaku

Wait... is that... purring?

Kohaku

These cats... they're not just stone. They're... warm?

Kohaku

(Senku would have a field day with this. I can almost hear his excited 'ten billion percent' already.)

Kohaku

Alright, you rock-solid furballs. Let's get you to Senku and figure this out.

Kohaku

Who knows? Maybe we'll discover a new type of science... Meow-chanics?
