At this school, Tokura is the only girl that keeps the guys on their toes. A tall, stone-cold betty, Tokura presents a hard exterior and leaves all the weak guys at school afraid to talk to her. Sawarura though, while not that popular, thinks she's a total bombshell and finds her trying to coax a cuddle from a neighborhood stray kitty. Shedding her cool attitude, Tokura's face blushes, showing off her kind-hearted nature and the two bond over their love of cats. As a storm rolls in, the two take shelter and with the sound of thunder booming down, Tokura purrs up to Sawarura, sinking her claws into her newly found pet!
