Overview

Masa has a problem. The nearest parcel locker is far away, and it's about to close. His girlfriend on the phone wants him to pick up her new shoes and Masa is determined not to disappoint her. Fresh from his own metal gig, Masa presses the gas pedal a bit too hard and fails to notice a black cat crossing the road. The crash is unavoidable. He drags the deceased cat into a nearby yard but a sharp-eyed elderly lady catches him in the act.
