[00:01] Una
    One evening, as I was washing
    my hair in the bath...
[00:14] Una
    I felt like I was being watched,
    but of course nobody was there.
[00:22] Una
    What was that, I wonder.
[00:24] Shi
    That's so scary, huh?!
[00:25] God
    I feel ya.
[00:27] Shi
    God?
[00:29] God
    This is my next divine request.
[00:32] God
    That's really scary,
    so do something about it.
SIGN    Heaven's Design Team
[02:07] Shi
    The official request is for
    an animal that's watching
[02:12] Shi
    even though it looks like nothing's there.
[02:14] Una
    That's so ridiculous.
[02:16] Miz
    Well, it's par for the course.
[02:18] Mei
    Maybe it was an ex who was staring at you?
[02:22] Una
    Please don't say things that really are scary.
[02:26] Shi
    How about an animal that blends in with
    its surroundings like a chameleon?
[02:30] Miz
    Hey, your mental image is wrong.
[02:33] Miz
    The chameleon is bad at camouflage.
[02:36] Miz
    This panther chameleon was already accepted.
[02:39] Miz
    The chameleon doesn't change its color
    after looking at its surroundings.
[02:43] Miz
    It's based on the lighting or its mood.
[02:46] Shi
    Its mood?!
[02:47] Miz
    For instance, when a male meets
    a female he fancies...
SIGN    2 Minutes Later
SIGN    3 Minutes Later
[02:56] Shi
    That's so slow.
[02:58] Una
    That reminds me of the squids
    you made, Pluto-chan.
[03:01] Una
    They also change color,
    but they do it super fast.
[03:04] Una
    How does that work?
[03:06] Mei
    Squids have chromatophores on
    the surface of their bodies,
[03:09] Mei
    and can change color with their muscles.
SIGN    Chromatophores
[03:11] Mei
    Flexing or relaxing them can make
     the change happen in an instant.
[03:15] Shi
    That sounds like it could qualify as
[03:17] Shi
    "that's watching even though it
    looks like nothing's there."
[03:20] Miz
    Let's try it in a simulation.
[03:27] Shi
    Did we have to go this far?
[03:31] Una
    Well, reproducibility and field
    testing are important.
[03:35] Mzi
    All right, Pluto-chan, bring out your squid.
[03:38] Mei
    Coming right up!
[03:39] Una
    Scrub, scrub... Scrub, scrub...
[03:46] Una
    There's a squid there.
[03:48] Una
    It's too obvious that there's a
    squid there. Mostly the eyes.
[03:51] Una
    And that jiggly three-dimensionality
    looks so tasty.
[03:54] Miz
    No good, huh?
[03:55] Una
    Besides, why is the squid even in the bath?
[03:58] Una
    What's the situation? What does the
    squid want to do behind my back?
[04:02] Miz
    This strange situation has
     made him oddly rational.
[04:06] Miz
    I guess the squid has its limits.
[04:08] Mei
    Then how about making a creature
     that becomes transparent in water?
[04:12] Miz
    We'd need engineering help for that.
[04:14] Mei
    I mean, lifeforms are made of water.
[04:17] Mei
    Maybe we can just make a fish
    with transparent blood?
[04:20] Hig
    That'll be difficult.
SIGN    Prototype Lab
[04:22] Hig
    The oxygen transporter, hemoglobin,
    is the reason blood is red.
[04:26] Hig
    If you take that out,
    blood can't transport oxygen.
[04:29] Mei
    Then how about forcing the blood
    plasma to transport it?
SIGN    Blood Plasma
[04:32] Mei
    Plasma is essentially transparent.
[04:34] Hig
    You could, but the efficiency would be terrible.
[04:37] Una
    Then make the heart bigger
    and the veins thicker.
[04:41] Mei
    Let's also add cutaneous respiration!
[04:43] Mei
    Then it can take in oxygen directly
    from the surrounding water.
[04:46] Miz
    Okay!
[04:48] Shi
    God has spoken!
[04:49] God
    Accepted!
SIGN    Crocodile
     Icefish
SIGN    Accepted
[04:52] Mei
    Let's put it in the tub right away!
[04:55] Hig
    The tub?
[05:03] Una
    I know it's weird to say something
    after it was accepted,
[05:06] Una
    but it would be terrifying if you
    locked eyes with that in the tub.
[05:10] Shi
    Oh, we got a follow-up request.
[05:12] Shi
    Um, could you make it so you
    can't lock eyes with it?
[05:17] Shi
    Can the eyes be made transparent?
[05:19] Miz
    That's impossible.
[05:20] Meid
    Suppose you were an invisible angel.
    Then your eyes would be transparent, too.
[05:25] Meid
    Your retinas could not absorb the light
    hitting the eye. It would just pass through.
[05:31] Shi
    Does that mean my invisible self
    wouldn't be able to see anything?
[05:35] Mei
    Correct.
[05:37] Mei
    While nobody could see you, you would
    also not be able to see anyone.
[05:42] Mei
    You would be able to
    experience true loneliness.
[05:44] Mei
    How wonderful!
[05:46] Shi
    I-I see. And I always thought being
    invisible would be fun...
[05:51] Una
    Even if you wanted to prank someone,
    if you can't see anything...
[05:55] Miz
    If we can't make the eyes disappear,
[05:57] Miz
    how about adding eyes to creatures
    that the naked eye cannot see?
[06:01] Miz
    Like a single-celled organism in the water?
[06:03] Una
    That means at first,
    it'll look like normal water.
[06:06] Una
    But if you zoom in...
[06:12] Both
    That's super terrifying!
[06:14] Miz
    I-Is it no good?
[06:17] Shi
    God has spoken!
[06:18] God
    Accepted!
SIGN    Accepted
SIGN    Single-Celled Organism
    With an Eye
     (Dinoflagellate)
[06:22] Hgi
    A single-celled organism
     only has, well, one cell.
[06:26] Hgi
    And you want to add an eye
    to it? Are you serious?
[06:29] Miz
    Simple and multipurpose is
    my forte. We can do it.
[06:33] Miz
    Let's do our best together, Mars-san.
[06:35] Hig
    Yeah, yeah. I'll be counting on you.
[06:38] Una
    The request was to make
    a scary story not so scary.
[06:42] Una
    Why did that result in a
    scary creature being born?
[06:46] Una
    I would have preferred having a cute,
[06:48] Una
    small, transparent fish there when
    I feel someone looking at me
[06:51] Una
    from a place that looks empty.
[06:54] God
    I feel you!
[06:57] Shi
    "Watching, even though nobody's there"...
    Isn't that God?
SIGN    The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist
[07:04] Ken
    The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
    That Really Exist!
[07:08] Shi
    I didn't know that chameleons
    change color based on their mood.
[07:13] Shi
    I always thought that was for camouflage.
[07:15] Miz
    Chameleons turn black when
    they're stressed out or depressed.
[07:18] Shi
    They're so sensitive.
[07:20] Shi
    It's so interesting that there are creatures
    that change color based on their mood.
[07:23] Miz
    I think you'd change color, too.
[07:26] Miz
    Their color also changes based on the sun.
[07:28] Miz
    When it's hot, it goes into
    infrared reflection mode,
[07:31] Miz
    so its body temperature
    doesn't get too high.
[07:33] Shi
    So when it's in a light spot,
[07:35] Shi
    it gets lighter to reflect the sun,
    and when it's in a dark spot, it gets dark—
[07:40] Shi
    Wait? Isn't this camouflage?
[07:43] Miz
    Yeah, often that's the result.
[07:47] Shi
    I see!
[07:50] Miz
    See? You changed color.
[07:59] All
    Wow!
[08:01] All
    So pretty!
[08:04] All
    Nice!
[08:06] Tsu
    I'm worried.
[08:09] Tsu
    Ever since that big fireworks show,
[08:11] Tsu
    my grandson Kenta has only been sighing.
[08:16] Ken
    I want to meet them again.
[08:18] Tsu
    He was drawing something like a portrait.
[08:22] Tsu
    I thought it might be my
    grandson's first love.
[08:26] Tsu
    So I decided to create the
    object of his first love.
[08:35] Shi
    C-Create?
[08:38] Shi
    This situation has gone mad all of a sudden!
[08:41] Shi
    What do you mean by "create"?
[08:44] Miz
    Wouldn't it be faster to
    find the other child?
[08:47] Miz
    Pluto-chan was there, too.
    Why don't you ask her to help?
[08:52] Tsu
    Well, I did go and ask her, but...
[08:57] (Flashback) Mei
    I didn't really see anyone like that.
    It was very crowded, anyway.
[09:00] (Flashback) Tsu
    I see. Sorry for bothering
    you when you're busy.
[09:04] (Flashback) Tsu
    What are you working on, anyway?
[09:06] (Flashback) Mei
    A "creature with eyes that stand out."
[09:09] (Flashback) Mei
    I went to the fireworks
    because I wanted to see how
[09:12] (Flashback) Mei
    the prototype for this nocturnal
    animal would react.
[09:14] (Flashback) Tsu
    Oh, for the internal competition!
[09:16] (Flashback) Tsu
    I might submit something, too.
[09:19] (Flashback) Tsu
    The person my grandson wanted to
    meet was "cute, with big eyes."
[09:22] (Flashback) Mei
    Sounds nice!
[09:24] Tsu
    So since I have no leads, I decided
    to just create something.
[09:29] Shi
    Huh... By the way, why is Pluto-san
    staying in a tent on Galapagos?
[09:34] Kan
    In order to push herself.
[09:36] Kan
    Even though she's in the middle of nature,
[09:38] Kan
    she's not even stepping outside of the tent.
[09:40] Kan
    It's like she locked
    herself in a can to work.
[09:42] Shi
    She's very stoic, huh?
SIGN    Prototype Lab
[09:44] Tsu
    The base is done already.
[09:46] Tsu
    Kenta will be so happy!
[09:48] Shi
    I don't think seeing something that has a
    vague resemblance is what Kenta wanted.
[09:54] Miz
    He wanted to have another encounter,
    so of course he'll be happy.
[09:57] Shi
    I'm surrounded by madmen!
[09:59] Tsu
    Here we are!
[10:07] Tsu
    I think this is what the
    base should look like.
[10:09] Tsu
    What do you think?
[10:10] Miz
    It looks just like your grandson's drawing.
[10:12] Shi
    I really don't think so!
[10:15] Hig
    Listen, about this kid...
[10:16] Shi
    Finally, a voice of reason!
[10:18] Hig
    If the eyes are this big, I can't
    make muscles to move the eyeballs.
[10:23] Hig
    There's not enough room in its skull.
[10:25] Shi
    Wait, that's your objection?!
[10:27] Hig
    Eyeballs need quite a lot
    of space in the back.
[10:30] Hig
    If the eyes are this big,
    they'll fill the entire skull cavity.
[10:36] Shi
    Hm, but Mercury-san, didn't the ostrich
    that you designed also have big eyes?
[10:40] Miz
    The ostrich also doesn't have room
    for muscles to move the eyes.
[10:44] Miz
    That's why I made it so it moves
    its entire head to look at things.
[10:48] Tsu
    Next, we have this tongue here.
[10:51] Tsu
    Mercury-kun, you made an
    animal like this, right?
[10:54] Miz
    The gecko.
[10:55] Miz
    Since it doesn't have eyelids, it licks its
    eyes with its tongue to lubricate them.
[10:59] Shi
    It's sort of cute.
[11:01] Tsu
    I see. You mean like this?
[11:05] Shi
    Th-That's not cute!
[11:07] Miz
    Chief,
[11:09] Miz
    might this line in the eye
    be a winking expression?
[11:12] Miz
    That suggests there are eyelids.
[11:14] Tsu
    Oh, right. Then let's make the
    long tongue be for feeding.
[11:19] Miz
    One more thing.
[11:21] Miz
    This detail here by the mouth.
[11:23] Miz
    Could there be two tongues?
[11:26] Miz
    That would mean there's one for
    grooming and one for feeding.
[11:31] Tsu
    I see! Let's go with that idea, too.
[11:36] Shi
    Oh, no! Kenta-kun's first love...
[11:39] Shi
    Aren't we drifting further and
    further from the answer here?
[11:41] Shi
    But maybe I should just be happy
    the base wasn't a horse.
[11:44] Tsu
    Mars-kun, what do you think?
[11:46] Hig
    Well, what kind of food are we looking at?
[11:49] Tsu
    Since there are two eyes facing forward,
[11:51] Tsu
    this is not an herbivore, but a carnivore.
[11:54] Shi
    You can tell from just the
    position of the eyes?
[11:57] Hig
    Having eyes on the sides gives
    you a wider field of vision,
[11:59] Hig
    which means you can spot
    your enemies better.
[12:01] Hig
    That's for animals who want to
    flee from other animals, or herbivores.
[12:04] Shi
    Aha...
[12:06] Hig
    On the flip side, having eyes facing forward
[12:07] Hig
    grants a wider area where
    the fields of vision overlap.
[12:09] Hig
    That gives you better depth perception and
    lets you know the distance to your prey.
[12:13] Shi
    Ah, so animals that want to catch other animals!
[12:16] Tsu
    This animal runs and chases its prey.
[12:22] Shi
    Every aspect just makes it scarier.
[12:25] Hig
    But if the jaw is this small,
[12:27] Hig
    it won't have enough power to
    tear apart big pieces of meat.
[12:30] Miz
    Should we make it swallow the
    prey whole, like a snake?
[12:32] Miz
    You can make the jaw split sideways and
    remove the sternum to open up the rib cage.
SIGN    Sternum
[12:36] Miz
    Then swallowing prey whole will be easy.
SIGN    Snakes don't have one
[12:44] Hig
    You need the sternum to attach
    the muscles that move the arms.
[12:48] Hig
    The snake's fine because
    it doesn't have arms.
[12:50] Miz
    I guess swallowing whole is out, then.
[12:52] Hig
    I don't think explosiveness
    or stamina are a thing here.
[12:55] Hig
    At best, we're looking at
    catching slow insects.
[12:58] Miz
    Insects...
[13:01] Miz
    Then this must be a snail!
[13:06] Tsu
    That's it!
[13:07] Shi
    Are you sure?!
[13:10] Tsu
    All right, that's the spitting
     image of the drawing!
[13:13] Tsu
    What do you think?
    Will it be love on first sight?
[13:15] Miz
    It would be for me!
[13:17] Shi
    They've created a monstrosity!
[13:19] Tsu
    Shimoda-kun, don't be shy.
    Let us know what you think.
[13:21] Shi
    Well, um, just one thing...
[13:25] Shi
    Maybe it's lacking a little bit of cuteness.
[13:29] Tsu
    Cuteness... That's an area
    we're not very good at.
[13:32] Hig
    Oh, I remember Neptune-san adding hair and
    saying cute animals need to be fluffy.
[13:38] Tsu
    That's it! Let's focus on
    cuteness and fluff it up!
[13:43] Tsu
    It's done!
SIGN    My Grandson's
     First Love
[13:45] Miz
    It's spot-on, Saturn-san!
[13:47] Shi
    I feel so sorry for your memories
    of your first love, Kenta-kun!
[13:51] Mei
    I'm back.
[13:55] Mei
    Exactly the same!?
[13:56] Tsu
    Why?!
[13:59] Tsu
    We were trying to recreate
    my grandson's drawing.
[14:03] Mei
    Oh, that's me.
[14:05] Shi
    This little one?
[14:07] Mei
    No, no, I'm here.
[14:09] Shi
    Oh, so it's not a drawing of the fireworks?
[14:12] Mei
    And next to me is this guy.
[14:14] Mei
    We ran into Kenta-kun as I was
    handing it a snail snack,
[14:17] Mei
    so the drawing must be of that.
[14:19] Mei
    The prototype was much bigger, too.
[14:22] Mei
    Because the eyes are too big to move,
    the entire neck can swivel all the way around.
[14:26] Mei
    It has two tongues, too.
[14:28] Tsu
    Same for ours.
[14:30] Miz
    They're perfectly identical!
[14:31] Shi
    W-Wait, so the "first love" was spot-on?
[14:36] Shi
    And God has spoken!
[14:38] God
    Accepted!
SIGN    Philippine
    Tarsier
SIGN    Accepted
[14:41] Mei
    Yay! Locking myself in paid off!
[14:44] Tsu
    We unknowingly traced your steps.
[14:47] Miz
    Kenta-kun's observational
    powers are amazing.
[14:50] Shi
    After that, the one that Saturn-san made...
[14:54] Ken
    I finally found you again!
[14:56] Ken
    I missed you!
[14:57] Miz
    You did it, Chief!
[14:58] Tsu
    Yeah!
[14:58] Ken
    I wanted to see you!
[15:00] Shi
    I-I'm... happy for you.
[15:01] Ken
    So cute!
[15:10] Hig
    I don't think the ear canal
    should be any bigger.
[15:14] Shi
    Mars-san, how's progress?
[15:17] Hig
    We're working on "an animal
    with good hearing."
[15:20] Tsu
    Oh, no! I can see the
    eyeball through the ear!
[15:24] Tsu
    It might accidentally come out that way!
[15:27] Shi
    I've seen you before.
[15:29] Hig
    That's why you can't make it so big.
[15:31] Shi
    Wasn't this Kenta-kun's little friend?
[15:34] Tsu
    I'm redesigning it into
    "an animal with good hearing."
[15:38] Tsu
    Look, aren't these ears great?
[15:41] Tsu
    The ridges are there for a reason, too.
[15:44] Tsu
    The sound hits these ridges, which allows the
    animal to know where the sound is coming from.
SIGN    Sound
[15:49] Tsu
    If we can't make the ear canal too big,
[15:52] Tsu
    I'll have to improve this area instead.
[15:54] Shi
    You mean make them bigger,
    like with elephants?
[15:58] Tsu
    Elephants don't have good hearing.
[16:00] Shi
    Really? But their ears are so big!
[16:02] Hig
    You know how you cup your ears like
    this when you try to hear something?
[16:07] Hig
    A parabolic shape is better
    for gathering sound.
SIGN    Sound
SIGN    Sound
SIGN    Sound
[16:10] Tsu
    The elephant's ears are
    flat and have no ridges.
[16:13] Hig
    Because the elephant's ears are heat sinks.
[16:16] Shi
    That's right! They get heat
    stroke without those ears.
[16:19] Shi
    So they can't hear well, huh?
[16:22] Tsu
    But their feet can.
[16:24] Shi
    Their feet?
[16:28] Tsu
    Elephants detect the vibrations
    of the ground with their feet,
[16:31] Tsu
    and send them through their
    bones to their ears.
[16:34] Tsu
    It's bone conductivity of a sort.
[16:36] Tsu
    When they want to hear better,
    they press their feet into the ground,
[16:42] Tsu
    similar to how we might press
    our ear against a wall.
[16:44] Shi
    That's a little bit cute!
[16:46] Tsu
    Anyway, this ear is cup-shaped,
    and with the round ridges, it's ideal!
[16:52] Shi
    So that's why a lot of animals
    have this ear shape.
[16:55] Tsu
    I was the one who designed
    the base model of this ear,
[16:59] Tsu
    but this time, I am looking to
    make something even better!
[17:02] Shi
    When there are no horses involved,
    Saturn-san's quite impressive.
[17:06] Hig
    These ears might be even better at gathering
    sound if they can move freely
[17:10] Hig
    to match the angle that the
    sound is coming from.
[17:12] Tsu
    I see. How about this?
[17:18] Shi
    That's a little scary.
[17:20] Hig
    Should the ear canals stay
    on the sides of the head?
[17:22] Hig
    If they're on the sides, they can
    pick up sound from all directions,
[17:25] Hig
    but it'll make it hard to hear small sounds.
[17:27] Tsu
    Right.
[17:28] Tsu
    Then let's bring them to the front.
[17:32] ---
    There!
[17:34] Tsu
    This will up the sensitivity!
[17:36] Hig
    If you specialize in one direction,
    the sensitivity will go up,
[17:40] Hig
    but it also means that they have to move
    their head toward sound sources all the time.
[17:43] Tsu
    That's fine. This model can turn its neck.
[17:47] Tsu
    Since the neck itself grew, too,
    it can also bend up and down.
[17:51] Tsu
    Lucky!
[17:53] Tsu
    Let's test if this is good enough to catch
    prey just with sound, without relying on vision.
[17:57] Tsu
    Shimoda-kun, please be the prey.
[17:59] ---
    Huh?
[18:00] ---
    Uh...
[18:02] ---
    What?!
[18:05] Shi
    I couldn't refuse...
[18:10] Shi
    It's coming for me!
[18:13] Tsu
    How did you know it's coming?
[18:15] Shi
    I mean, the footsteps...
[18:17] Tsu
    Oh, that. Okay, let's add
    wings and make it fly.
[18:23] Shi
    We're not done yet?
[18:25] Tus
    Let's adjust the ears too.
[18:27] Shi
    Huh, why?
[18:28] Hig
    That's revolutionary!
[18:30] Hig
    You see, ears can tell where a sound is
    coming from based on which ear heard it first.
[18:35] Hig
    By shifting them up and down,
[18:36] Hig
    they can detect a sound's height
     as well as its direction!
[18:38] Hig
    That's Saturn-san's genius!
[18:40] Tsu
    All right! Now detection is possible
    no matter where Shimoda-kun runs.
[18:44] Shi
    This is even more terrifying.
[18:50] Shi
    I can't sense it anywhere...
    but there's really nowhere to hide.
[18:59] Tsu
    Aw, how did you know it was flying at you?
[19:02] Shi
    I heard its wings flapping.
[19:05] Tsu
    This is Mars-san's territory.
[19:07] Tsu
    Any good ideas?
[19:09] Hig
    Making the flight feathers jagged might
    disperse the sound, and thus lower the volume.
SIGN    Smooth
SIGN    Jagged
[19:15] Tsu
    I see!
[19:16] Tsu
    Let's do another test!
[19:17] Shi
    A-Again?!
[19:22] Shi
    I'm sorry... I haven't been attacked yet,
    but it's there, right?
[19:28] Tsu
    What? How could you tell?
[19:30] Shi
    I mean, when it's twisting its head around,
[19:32] Shi
    the ears flap around and
    are really noticeable.
[19:35] Tsu
    You're right.
[19:37] Tsu
    The ears are holding it back.
[19:39] Shi
    Weren't they the whole point?!
[19:43] Tsu
    All right, let's squash
    the ears into the face.
[19:47] Tsu
    Then its silhouette won't change
    even when it's turning its head.
[19:51] Hig
    I think that's good.
[19:52] Shi
    It is?
[19:53] Tsu
    Then I'll gather all the
    ideas and present you with...
[19:55] Tsu
    An animal with good hearing!
[19:58] Shi
    God has spoken!
SIGN    Owl
[19:59] God
    Accepted!
SIGN    Accepted
[20:03] Shi
    I'm glad it's not the scary one from before.
[20:07] Shi
    Saturn-san, where did the
    all-important parabola ears go?
[20:11] Tsu
    This round depression on the face.
[20:14] Hig
    The entire face is a parabola,
[20:16] Hig
    so it can focus the sound in the ear
    by moving the surrounding feathers.
[20:20] Tsu
    By the way, its skull looks like this.
SIGN    Left Ear
SIGN    Right Ear
[20:24] Tsu
    The ear canals are facing the front
    and are vertically misaligned.
[20:27] Shi
    So you kept that long neck as-is.
[20:31] Tsu
    As you can see, the silhouette is the
    same no matter which way it faces.
[20:34] Shi
    I'm glad. Since its previous look
    is gone, I don't find it as scary.
[20:40] Tsu
    What are you talking about?
[20:41] Tsu
    The chicks look basically the same as that.
SIGN    Barn Owl Chicks
[20:47] Hig
    You can also still see the
    eyeball through its ear canal.
[20:50] Hig
    Wanna look?
[20:51] Shi
    I'll pass!
[20:54] Tsu
    The flight feathers have a stealth mode.
[20:56] Shi
    Amazing! Every feature made it in.
[21:00] Shi
    You're really good, Saturn-san!
SIGN    Brown
SIGN    Black
SIGN    White
[21:02] Tsu
    Incidentally, they have the same
     color scheme as the horse.
[21:05] Shi
    Y-You worked the horse in?
[21:06] Hig
    Saturn-san, you never miss a beat.
[21:09] Kan
    Yay, another highly-evolved birdie!
[21:13] Shi
    Oh, Saturn-san designed that.
[21:16] Kan
    Let's make you even cuter.
[21:17] Shi
    Oh, but it has that silhouette for a reason—
[21:22] Shi
    God has spoken!
[21:23] God
    That's accepted, too!
SIGN    Accepted
SIGN    Horned Owl
[21:26] Shi
    Why?!
SIGN    The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist
[21:28] Ken
    The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
    That Really Exist!
[21:33] Tsu
    There are these ear-like things on its head,
     but they're not ears, right?
[21:37] Kan
    Yes, just like other owls, the ears
    are in this area of the face.
[21:42] Tsu
    So what are these pointy things here?
[21:44] Kan
    Decorative feathers.
[21:46] Tsu
    What are they for?
[21:46] Kan
    Nothing! They're just cute!
[21:49] Kan
    Wait, I'll think of something...
[21:53] Kan
    How about this? They look like leaves,
    so they help with camouflage!
[21:56] Tsu
    I feel like not having them
    would work even better.
[21:58] Tsu
    When it moves its head, they'll stand out.
[22:01] Kan
    Now that you mention it...
[22:03] Kan
    Wait, then why was it accepted?
[22:06] Kan
    It would be better to not
    have these pointy feathers.
[22:09] Tsu
    God's ways are mysterious.
[22:12] Kan
    You're so right! I knew it!
