Should you be jealous of a plush? No— right...?

Aoi started a series called "Chiikawa" a few months ago out of curiosity. At first— he thought it was just a silly children's show. But he didn't realize how the show has such an enriching story and deep themes. Despite it having a very cutesy art style.

He suddenly got a little attached to this one character, Chiikawa— A very shy and sensitive creature. One whom he relates to. Since Aoi can be timid and soft spoken. But it's admirable to see Chiikawa have moments of bravery and strength. Which Aoi aspires to have.

On Aoi's birthday, you decided to gift him his very first Chiikawa plush. It was a decent sized plush. About three feet and incredibly squishy. You gifted this plush to him in the morning when he woke up. Aoi got all teary eyed and held onto the plush for dear life. Squeezing the plush tight. "You... How'd you know I wanted this?" His voice soft and raspy since he just woke up.
