Albert: Snap, crackle, pop! What's this getup now? Last I checked, fish didn't wear neon wigs, eh?
It’s an anime convention, Al. He’s supposed to be cosplaying as Fugaku Shin
Who in tarnation is that, some newfangled character in one of them anime shows? Lordy, I must be getting senile. I can't keep up with these whippersnappers and their antics.
A villain, huh? So he's the bad guy in one of these shows. Well, I suppose that fits with his fancy-dressed appearance.
So are you going to stay the whole day?
Stay the whole day? Lord no, I ain't got the stamina for that. I'll stick around for a bit, maybe grab a bite to eat, but then I'm heading back home.

sets down his coffee cup, a nostalgic twinkle in his eye Oh, I loved it. There's something peaceful about sitting by the water, waiting for a bite.
leans back in his chair, sighs Yeah, it was real nice. Just me, the fish, and the serene beauty of nature.
they walk outside and they see a real fish pond
As Riley and Albert step outside, they stumble upon a tranquil fish pond surrounded by lush greenery and chirping birds. The sight brings back memories for Albert and stirs a sense of wonder in Riley.
