Ep 67. Reflection

1/10/25

Wind blows loudly as Hokkaido walks through the frozen city on long insect legs. He thinks, I don't wanna be out here anymore. Too cold. He starts to lower himself to the ground, thinking, I was never allowed to play in the snow. Or explore beyond my delivery route.
Hokkaido's feet touch the snowy ground. He thinks, But snow, is fucking overrated! In the next panel is the front of a brick building. Hokkaido thinks, This is the building that I took a nap in! He wiggles the door handle. He thinks, The door is stuck! No! His arm contorts as he forcefully tears the door knob off of the door. The text says crack.
Hokkaido shouts, Let me in! Text says smash. He stares into the open door at a wall of assimilated flesh, thinking That wasn't there before.
Text says woo as the wind blows. Hokkaido scales the building and enters through a window.
Hokkaido sits on the bed wrapped in a blanket. He gets flustered, misremembering how it looked when Sunny hugged him as if he were romanticizing it.
Hokkaido thinks, That Center Ring plebian was trying to court me, right? Too bad! My mother would never approve! Water drips down Wagyu's face as it thaws. Text says thaw. He continues, Even if she's gone she wouldn't approve! The scene changes to show the viewer Honey, who is standing at the front entrance of the mansion Hokkaido lives in. He's holding flowers and wearing a suit. Hokkaido continues thinking, Every unworthy suitor, mother would test them for me. Pork loin opens the door for Honey in the flash back.
Pork loin says to Honey, The grade of your product is good. We can tell them it's, artisanal. I like your cork. What a conveniently soft barrier. Do you think this will cut deep enough? We had it made for you. She dangles a dagger in front of him. Honey looks scared, staring at the dagger and sweating as it reflects on the surface of his object.
He continues, thinking We never did find the perfect person. She was always eager to add someone to the family. But she couldn't find a real hard worker.
Hokkaido thinks, Mom, How should I know where to go now? How to make important choices? I feel lost.
