Transcript
A woman with blue curls walks a black cat on a leash along a sidewalk beside a repair shop. The shop sign reads “VOLTAIRE REPAIRS”; a window lists “ELECTRONICS / REPAIRS / DEVICES / CUSTOM WORK / FAST SERVICE,” and a sidewalk sign reads “VOLTAIRE REPAIRS / FIXED RIGHT / FIRST TIME.” Her shirt reads “STATIC FUEL.” She trips over the cat and falls into the shop, scattering electronic parts. The cat leaps over her. Pink sound effect: “ピッ”. Sitting among the debris, the woman raises a light bulb; it lights up. Sound effect: “BZZZT!” Purple electricity crackles around the bulb as two people look on, startled. A display reads “VOLTAIRE REPAIRS.”
