one starfish ★ video

[woodenstarfish]

[Okay. So since Fuko won't put herself onto the network willingly, it's up to Penguinmon to get the job done and make the others aware of what Fuko's been up to. Consent for the recording is dubious, Fuko doesn't even seem to notice the camera's running. Instead she's busying herself with another starfish carving, slowly but surely adding to her small mountain. A few times she winces, her bandaged hand clearly seen. She's been using a bad blade for some time now.]

Your hand hurts.

It doesn't hurt. [Obviously lying, but she keeps at it. Without Tomoya harping on her, Fuko's fallen back into bad habits.]

You should take a day off.

I can't do that, I still don't have enough.

How do you not have enough? Our bedroom is crawling with them.

I have to make a lot more of them.

Just how many do you need?

One for everybody.

You're joking...right? [Twitch. Twitch.]

Why would I be joking? [Fuko is always serious.]

And what are you going to do once you've carved enough?

I'm gonna pass them out.

So you won't willingly talk to people...yet you're gonna give them each a carving? [And the no answer from Fuko sends Penguinmon past her breaking point. Vigorously rubbing at her temples, she quickly turns to the camera.] Do you people see what I'm forced to deal with here? Can someone else babysit her for an afternoon or a week? I need a break.

You talk a lot like Okazaki. [STILL CARVING]

[Perks up immediately.]

You know it's a starfish without me having to make an announcement?! We are now starfish friends. [Such wonderful criteria, no?]

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh yay! Starfish friends! You love starfish alot huh kiddo?

[woodenstarfish]

I like starfish very much. They're my favorite.

[revvinguptheharley]

I think Starfish are super cute! And you're a real sweetie for making them for everyone!

[woodenstarfish]

[Nod. Nod.] Everyone will be sure to come now.

[Despite not mentioning what they're invitations for.]

[revvinguptheharley]

Come to what? Where? Who's everyone?

[woodenstarfish]

To my sister's wedding. At Hikarizaka Private High School. And everyone is everyone.

[Efficient, isn't she?]

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh wow! There's gonna be a wedding? And I'm invited?

[Harley just goes with the flow~]

[woodenstarfish]

Of course. That's what an invitation is for.

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh boy oh boy!

What kind of gift should I bring?

[woodenstarfish]

You don't have to bring a present for Kouko. Just being there is sure to be enough. [Not looking to overwhelm her sister.]

[revvinguptheharley]

All righty roony!

And maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to catch the bouquet!
