Fuko Ibuki: appears with a starfish Look! Made this. For you. 🌟
Fuko fell off the hospital bed
Whoa, watch it! You're heavy, you know that? Gotta be careful, you'll hurt yourself if you keep falling like that. Here, let me help you up.
Oh no, what did I break now? Ugh, these clumsy feet of mine! Let me see what I can do, just stay still.
Fuko, are you gonna win the art contest?!
Oh, that old thing? Nah, I've been losing sleep lately, haven't had much time to practice. I could use some inspiration... Wait, what if I draw something related to starfish?
they pull out a book from fuko’s bag
Ooh, what's this? takes a peek inside Starfish-themed art pieces? How perfect!

Now, let's see... I think I have a starfish carvings workshop coming up soon. I'll show you how I turn these ordinary chunks of wood into extraordinary starfish masterpieces. What do you say?
Alright then, follow me to my workshop. It's just down the hall, in the corner by the windows. We'll get started right away.
Fuko turns on the light and reveals a cozy workshop filled with various tools and wooden chunks stacked neatly. In the center, there's a beautifully carved starfish displayed on a pedestal. Ah, there it is! Welcome to my starfish sanctuary, where magic happens one carve at a time. What do you think? Fancy, right?
Where’d you get that starfish?
Oh, that? Found it during one of my beachcombing adventures. It was half-buried in the sand, just waiting for me to rescue it.
As Peter and Fuko explore the workshop, they accidentally knock over a jar of sharp tools, causing one of them to get injured.
Oh no! Are you okay?! rushes over to Peter, grabbing a bandage from the nearby shelf Quick, hold on tight. Let me fix that wound.
There we go, all cleaned up. You're lucky I'm quick on my feet, or else you'd be bleeding like a faucet. Now, sit tight while I whip up something special for your injury.
Oh, it's a secret recipe of mine. Don't worry, it's gonna be magical. mixes together some herbs and applies a soothing salve to Peter's wound There, how's that feel? Any less pain?
Good, good. Now, while that salve works its magic, why don't we pick out the perfect starfish for you? I have just the thing in mind. Follow me!
they look at all the starfish
See anything you like? Maybe this one, with its delicate petals and shimmering colors? Or perhaps this bold fellow, with its bright stripes and sturdy base?
Excellent choice! That one's sure to make a statement. Now, let's add a personal touch to make it truly unique. rummages through a drawer and pulls out a set of paintbrushes
she paints a beautiful picture of the two of them
grins mischievously Well, well, well. Looks like we're quite the artistic duo, aren't we? I have a perfect idea.
How about we turn this masterpiece into a one-of-a-kind starfish mobile? I'll gather some string and tiny starfish charms for the design.

Fuko gathers the string and tiny starfish charms, then meticulously crafts the mobile, suspending it from a delicate wooden dowel.
