On Christmas Eve, [[Ryunosuke Natsume]] discovers a dead cat. He takes the cat to his father, [[Kyusaku Natsume]], who is an inventor. Kyusaku decides to take the brain from the cat and put it into an android. He stole this android from [[Mishima Heavy]] Industries, his ex-employer. Mishima is owned by his wife, who has left both her husband and her son, so it is understandable why Kyusaku felt free to take the android. When he is done tinkering with the body and the brain, the once lifeless android has become [[Atsuko Natsume]], or [[Nuku Nuku]]. | On Christmas Eve, [[Ryunosuke Natsume]] discovers a dead cat.
