The First Victim of the Nyandemic
A cheerful customer walks into the cafe sporting a distinctive look: short beard with mustache, black hat, yellow-tinted shades, and a matching yellow jacket over brown pants—notably shirtless. He seems friendly enough at first, genuinely enjoying the atmosphere and trying to interact with the cats.
Everything changes when he asks Kunagi for some cat food and pours it into his hands. Right there in front of everyone, he begins transforming. In a horrifying moment, he eats the food straight from his own palm as his body shifts and changes. By the time it's over, nothing remains of him but a brown tabby cat.
What makes this moment historically significant is what happens next: the other cats immediately swarm around him, rubbing against his newly feline form. This contact spreads whatever caused his transformation, turning them infectious. The cats have now gained the ability to convert humans into their own kind—essentially kickstarting the nyandemic itself. He wasn't just a victim; he was patient zero, the catalyst for everything that followed.
