Inky

Inky is an NPC in Zenless Zone Zero and a stray cat living on Sixth Street. It can be adopted by the owners of the Random Play Video Store. 
==Gameplay==
Inky can initially be found in various places within Sixth Street, most often at Evening or Night. At this point, while players are given the option to pet it, Inky will be wary and will react negatively to contact. To earn it's trust, players should choose the option to watch Inky from a distance. 
After a sufficient amount of Trust has been established, and upon unlocking Chapter 2 - Interlude, Soldier 11 will message the player to meet at her usual meeting spot at the roads behind the Godfinger arcade, where players can encounter Soldier 11 together with Inky (this doubles as a Trust event for Soldier 11). This encounter will hint at players needing to feed Inky; visit the 141 Convenience Store on the next ingame day and first talk to Jonah and Roy, then talk to the Bangboos which will open up the ability to buy Seafish Canned Cat Food at the store. Up to 10 cans of cat food can be bought from the store per real-time week, with stocks replenishing at the weekly refresh. 
By this point, players will have the option to feed Inky cat foot, alongside petting it. Note that the dialogue leading to its interaction will hint at the proper response needed to earn Inky's trust: 
*If the dialogue ends in "Maybe it's...?", players should feed Inky cat food. 
*If the dialogue is "Perhaps it's...?", players can pet Inky. 
Note that choosing to Pet it with the wrong prompt will result in a decrease in Trust, whereas feeding it with the wrong prompt (or not having any Cat Food on hand) will simply result in Inky not eating the food with no corresponding effect to its Trust. 
At a high enough Trust level, Inky may sometimes be found among several other cats. Players can choose to either play with the other cats, or feed Inky, with the latter option providing the most increase in Trust. 
The day after reaching maximum Trust, Proxies will receive a message from Soldier 11 to meet up at night. She will ask the Proxy to help her adopt Inky and keep it with them. This will open a naming prompt to rename Inky to a name of the player's choice. This name cannot be changed in a later time and will replace all instances of "Inky", Partner Archive included. The morning after, the cat can be found lying on the sofas on the left of the entrance of the Video Store or sitting on the counter. Once adopted, it can still be fed canned cat food and trigger trust increase.

==Details==
Inky is a stray cat often spotted roaming around Sixth Street.People call it inky because of its dark color.It's quite cautious and doesn't readily approach humans.It has a soft spot for canned cat food and tasty lickable treats.Please note, however, like most stray cats, Inky won't eat in front of you if it doesn't know you well.Sometimes, Inky might try to communicate its needs, and if you can understand and provide, you're likely to get on its good side.With some effort, perhaps one day it might be open to the idea of being adopted by you."Cats seem to be more active at night when there are fewer people around."
