@@gama103 for me a detail that seal it Is the first Time somebody mention a animal Is a joke. Doctor: how you see me? Odakawa: a gorila Doctor: laugh* i cant denay it Like i think this Is a clue. The doctor Is just Buff or look like a criminal (reason why he also have few clients) A moment that make my doubt when the taxi drivers referes as a alpaca to well... The alpaca with the prhase: Is hard to forget you, you are the only alpaca around. BUT i think this could be just a missdirection and she being a alpaca means she Is latina. (She Is a animal from sudamérica that ALSO knows capoiera) so my guest Is that the alpaca think Is just a way to see Her etnia. My other points for this theory Is how some animals Fit too well their role in the story. The girl that run away Is a cat, the comedian who all deal Is that the joke about him Is a donkey (he make a donkey of himself for a living) etc.

[@leonardobianucci6218]

Updating my theory the fact that the cat play a gacha about a zoo but nobody seems to thinks that the concept of a zoo Is strange Is More proof if you ask me. Otherwise they are playing a game equivalent to collection different races of humans in cells
