Tough Bartender Finds Stray Kitten In Rain

Shot 1: After closing late at night, Image1 carefully wipes the bar counter with a cloth <sound of cloth rubbing>, a pair of giant hands covered in old calluses and new wounds moves steadily, his face shows the exhaustion after closing. Shot 2: A faint whimper is heard <kitten whimper>, his hand stops moving, he frowns slightly and pulls open the door, only to see a skinny stray kitten shivering in the rain at the entrance. Shot 3: Slow push-in to the kitten's helpless eyes, Image1's tired expression gradually replaced by a kind of gentleness, after a silent standoff for several seconds, this giant man slowly and stiffly crouches down. Shot 4: Facial close-up, the hard lines on his face relax, the corner of his mouth splits into a clumsy yet kind smile, the muscles around the scar at the corner of his eye also relax. Cel animation texture, bold black outline lines and hard-edged visuals, warm yellow lighting of the ramen shop contrasted with the cold blue of the rainy night in the back alley.
