 if attached. Tiny breathy French whispers.
Only human: the CHEF — man, early 30s, lean, dark swept hair, short beard, navy chef jacket, flour on sleeve. Appears only in the kitchen.
All enemies are ordinary cats. Four-legged, no clothes, no glasses, no watches, no tools, no upright walking. They loaf, slink, sniff, ear-flick, pounce, groom.

ALLEY CAT: big orange tabby, loafing / licking a paw at the back door.
PANTRY CAT: slim calico, walking the pantry, sniffing, tail up.
HALL CAT: heavy grey longhair at the T-junction. Alert cat.
Two short-haired dark cats trotting the corridor later.

Route (one space): cobble alley → gap under back door → staff pantry → kitchen corridor T → dry-goods alcove → under swing door → PIP’s prep board. Sun from camera-right the whole time.
Format: one unbroken take 0.0–27.0s, HARD CUT at 27.0s, locked reverse shot 27–30s. Exactly one cut. Camera: mouse-height OTS, 1.5 body-lengths behind PIP, analog-stick spring, dips when he crouches. After the cut: static camera on the pass beside the CHEF, looking back at PIP.
HUD (English only, fixed corners, full 30s): minimap + cat vision cones BL, health/stamina TL, alert bar, prompts BR, objective TC. Cards from the right. No subtitles.
0–6s PIP slides behind a crate in the alley, peeks at the loafing ALLEY CAT, whispers {en retard… si on me voit, c’est fini}. HUD: 【LATE — 12 MIN】【OBJECTIVE: REACH THE LINE UNDETECTED】. Cat looks at a sparrow. PIP slips under the door.
6–12s Pantry baseboard shuffle. PANTRY CAT walks past on all fours. PIP freezes, {reste… ne me vois pas}. Cone misses him. 【SNEAKING MODE】. Cat exits. PIP enters the corridor.
12–18s HALL CAT slinks around the T, hunt crouch. 【ALERT】 red bang over its head. PIP drops his bundle, yanks a towel, a wooden spoon clatters the other way. Cat pounces the noise, then sits and washes a paw. {pardon}. 【DISTRACT】【CAT: LOST INTEREST】. Bundle back. Cat never stands or acts human.
18–24s Two dark cats trot toward camera. PIP pulls a small cheese box over himself. Only tail and paws show. One cat sniffs the box, flicks an ear, walks on. {la boîte… imbattable}. 【BOX EQUIPPED】【ENEMY LOST CONTACT】. Box shuffles forward.
24–27s Box ditched behind a flour sack. PIP crawls under the swing door, along the counter lip, climbs his board. Far ahead, the human CHEF cooks with his back to the room.
27s CUT
27–30s Locked front shot from the pass: PIP on the board facing camera in a tiny white toque + tiny apron that fit a real mouse. Chest still heaving. Empty boards and the swing door behind him, stove not behind him. Off-cam CHEF: {Pip, on prend le service}. PIP: {oui, chef!}. 【MISSION COMPLETE】【STEALTH RANK: S】【SERVICE +150】. Small smile.
Locks: one PIP, mouse-sized vs full-size cats/chef/stove at all times. Toque/apron only in the last 3s. Box only in the corridor beat. Cats stay cats. Chef is the only person and only in the kitchen. French speech, English HUD. Photoreal fur, whiskers, paw-gait, real weight on the box and spoon, contact shadows, 5% grain. Not cartoon.
