[When Fuuko wakes up today, it's hard for her to ignore just how quiet the house is. Normally she would see Kotomi around when she got up so the two of them could eat breakfast together. When the minutes continue to pass and her housemate had still yet to make an appearance, Fuuko knocks on Kotomi's door and peers inside. She calls out Kotomi's name into the room, only to soon realise what was going on.

Fuuko spends the morning just walking around her large and now empty house. She has her journal in her arms and held close to her chest, with the intention of using it to tell everyone about Kotomi at some point. But for now Fuuko wants a little time to herself, so she can think about what to do next and what to do about the house.]

[Around midday, Fuuko settles down in the living room on one of the couches and opens her journal.]

Kotomi Ichinose, Kotomi-chan, has gone home. Fuuko is sure she had plenty of friends who weren't bullies or weird guys, so Fuuko thought it would be better if everyone found out now rather than finding out at some other awful time.

[Though she starts her message looking at the journal, Fuuko soon starts looking away as though she's concentrating on something else.]

Fuuko thinks she didn't leave anything behind, in fact, Fuuko is positive of this.

[She was expecting to be more upset than this. For a moment she wonders if she's just getting used to making these sorts of messages, after having announced Nagisa, Tomoya and a few of her other friends and family went home in the past. With a sigh to herself, Fuuko turns her attention back to the journal .]

Kotomi-chan is a really kind, really intelligent person. She taught Fuuko a lot about the starfish you know. Fuuko is sure that Kotomi-chan will be very happy back home with Nagisa-san and Okazaki-san.

[After making her message over the journals, Fuuko heads out to the tea shop to get some work done. As tempting as it was for her to just stay home and keep inside for the rest of the day, the tea shop seemed like a good way to get her mind off of things for a little while. Though she's work as well as she normally does it's easy to notice how distracted Fuuko seems. Whenever she's not carrying out cups or cleaning up she can be seen staring off into space and otherwise keeping to herself unless someone needs her.]

[The bright sun, blue sky, even the odd cloud dotted here and there. Whoever is holding the journal is doing a pretty good job of capturing the good weather right now.]

After all the rain and wind last week it's this sort of sunshine that really makes Fuuko think of summer.

[The journal soon pulls back to show that the sky is being recorded through a massive hole in the roof of one of house 26's upstairs bedrooms.]

However Fuuko really does not want to enjoy summer whilst still being inside like this! Most of the water has dried away or has been mopped up but this thing is still here! Even if Fuuko was low on money and couldn't afford AC this would be a very extreme solution. And even then money isn't a problem so why is this hole still here?!

[Normally these things see to themselves, but nope. Still a hole. The bedroom is still a complete wreck too, with debris and bits of glass and the door frame scattered about all over.]

If anyone knows anything about fixing things like this then Fuuko would appreciate a little of your time. Fuuko will even prepare something to give to your for your trouble, something very delicious!

[Oh, and quickly adding in at the end--]

Also, Fuuko hopes everyone who went into space returned home safely! If you all want something delicious too then please come to house 26, there's going to be more than enough for anyone who wants some. Fuuko will make sure of that!

[Action]

[The 'something very delicious' Fuuko was referring to is starfish shaped bread. Giant loaves of it. There's only so much of the stuff she can make before she needs more ingredients though so she's out around the village to pick up some more.

... But she couldn't just leave all the bread she had recently baked alone in the house. Even if Kotomi and Nagisa are there who knows what could come through that hole in the roof! As such, Fuuko is carrying a bag of freshly baked starfish bread around with her. Don't you just love the smell of bread that's just come out of the oven? It's still a little warm too!]

[Over the past few days the house had been steadily getting quieter. It wasn't hard to miss either, given the variety of people in their household, but it really had become too noticeable to bear without saying anything.

Sunohara had left some time ago, which was a shame. Then Yusuke, her own brother-in-law who remembered everything about her. But today, Tomoya had gone home. Fuuko stands sadly in the doorway to his room before walking out into the living room to open her journal.]


This is what you do when people you know have gone home, right? [...] Okazaki-san has gone home. Also to anyone who knew him, Yusuke left too... And Sunohara-san, but he left some time back now.

[Not intentionally left to the last moment there, but she's just winging this and going with what names come to her first. Sorry Sunohara.

Fuuko spends the rest of the morning just lounging around the house, not really in the mood to do anything. Heading into the afternoon, Fuuko gathers some supplies and decides to carve some starfish out by the fountain in the plaza. Despite the wind she sits there and finishes five or six of the stars before going home again.]

[It had taken her some time, a little heavy lifting and an awful lot of reading up on taking care of fish and sea life in the library, but it's finished. Room twelve in community building three now has a fully functioning fish tank! There's a hanging filter happily bubbling away into the water of the pretty bare looking tank. Fuuko had wanted to go down to the beach and find a few shells and what not but it's really cold, so for now the tank only has some gravel along the bottom and a rock or two in it.

As the journal comes into focus it's possible to notice something in the tank past the gravel and rocks. In fact if you can't notice it you must need your eyesight checked as Fuuko currently has the journal pushed right up against the glass of the tank.

The most adorable of adorable starfish is inside, laying on top of one of the rocks. Yes, a real live starfish. Fuuko couldn't believe it either. A real live starfish! It needs repeating, okay, it's a real a starfish. REAL. Many a trance came and went when she first unwrapped the jar containing the little guy.

Having kept the journal on for a minute or so in silence whilst she shows off her new pet, Fuuko speaks up.]


Fuuko cannot thank whoever gave Fuuko such a gift this Christmas time enough! Had Fuuko been able to find a tank and supplies sooner then rest assured, Fuuko would have thanked whoever-you-are long ago!

[Turning the journal towards her face which has a giant smile plastered all over it, because hey, guess what guys, it's a real starfish. And it's her pet! Aaah!]

Fuuko has even decided to keep the jar that-- Oh, Fuuko still needs to think of a name... But Fuuko is keeping the jar he came in as a memento of this wonderful present even in his nameless state! [Giving the journal a wave she starts closing the journal-- But wait, ooone more thing.] Fuuko almost forgot to mention the Starfish Festival seeing as all Fuuko can think of right now is this cute little guy. It'll probably be in April sometime, though there's no definite date yet. Just letting you all know!

[The video opens to show Fuuko scribbling away at a piece of paper on the table of her apartment. Stopping for a moment to admire what she has drawn... Then switching to a coloured crayon and continuing.]

Now Kotomi-san is here that means Fuuko should add another one. One for Daisy-san too.

[She seems to be talking to herself as she draws and colours in a little more. A minute or so later, Fuuko holds up her work for the journals to see. Seems as though she was working on a 'Get Well Soon' card. Moving the card away from the journal, Fuuko starts speaking in a very hushed tone.]


Fuuko made this to give Nagisa-san. If you know Nagisa-san and want her to get better even sooner then Fuuko insists you sign this card! Even if you don't know her you should sign it anyway! Fuuko can probably draw some starfish on the back... Fuuko is being quiet so not to disturb Nagisa-san!

[She stands up and leaves the card on a table, moving into her room for a moment to fetch a scarf, mittens and other warm clothing before returning.]

Fuuko will be waiting by the fountain in the plaza if you want to come and write Nagisa-san a message... And don't forget about the Starfish Festival!! Fuuko intends to make it one of the best festivals this place has ever seen!

Fuuko is going out for a moment Nagisa-san!! [Picking up the card and the journal, leaving it open as she makes her way over to the plaza.]

[Action]

[Like she said, Fuuko will be standing out by the fountain with the card in her hands. She's also brought along a bunch of coloured crayons for people to write in the card with if they would like to.]

(Interpret my Fuuko's terrible drawings of dangos how you like. A few them could look like anyone, so feel free to take them however you want to.)
