[Image 1 | April 2017]
During the collaboration between "Kemono Friends" and Tobu Zoo, the Hululu cutout appears in the penguin area; Grape-kun naturally appears near the cutout; visitors watch and take photos through the fence; authentic zoo atmosphere.
Text:
"April 2017"
"Tobu Zoo x Kemono Friends"
"Hululu's cutout appears in the penguin enclosure."

[Image 2 | Gazing]
Grape-kun stands quietly near the Hululu cutout, body naturally facing the cutout and gazing continuously; depicts the behavior noted by visitors and zoo staff at the time; no anthropomorphism, no expression of human-style love; background naturally blurred like an accidentally captured news photo.
Text:
"Grape-kun seems to particularly care about this cutout."
"'Love' is the interpretation people give to its behavior."

[Image 3 | Staying]
After the collaboration ends, other character cutouts are removed, but the Hululu cutout remains in the penguin area; other positions left naturally vacant; Grape-kun still appears near the cutout; quiet penguin enclosure, natural soft light.
Text:
"The collaboration has ended."
"Other cutouts were removed, but Hululu stayed."

[Image 4 | Farewell]
The time point after Grape-kun's death on October 12, 2017; the penguin enclosure is quiet and empty, Grape-kun is gone, the Hululu cutout still exists; pool, rocks, fence, and empty activity space; soft natural light, expressing absence through space, no death scene shown.
Text:
"October 12, 2017"
"Grape-kun passed away at age 21."
"We cannot know what it truly saw that cutout as."

Strictly based on real events, no fictionalization of Grape-kun's psychology, dialogue, memories, or motives; "falling in love with 2D" and "liking Hululu" are human interpretations of its behavior.

Keep "● DeepBlue" in the bottom left corner of each image; the dot is #0B3D91 deep blue, and "DeepBlue" is a white natural handwritten font.

CONCEPT & COMPOSITION: A fun, candid convenience-store photoshoot captured from a high-angle convex security mirror. Each frame features the woman looking up toward the mirror with realistic fisheye distortion, curved mirror edges, and a wide view of the store aisles.

NINE DIFFERENT SCENES:

1. Smiling and winking while holding an iced coffee, wearing a cream knit sweater.

2. Wearing a black top and reaching toward a snack shelf while holding a shopping basket.

3. Wearing a pink hoodie, making a cute pout while hugging instant noodles and colorful snacks.

4. Wearing a black-and-white striped top and laughing while holding a basket full of groceries.

5. Wearing a white long-sleeve top and blue jeans, crouching down to pick up spilled snacks from the floor.

6. Wearing a light-blue cardigan, smiling brightly while holding a strawberry cream cake beside her face.

7. Wearing a gray hoodie and beige baseball cap, making a peace sign while holding an iced drink.

8. Wearing a black sleeveless top with sunglasses on her head, examining a cup of instant noodles with a curious expression.

9. Wearing a cream knit sweater, happily hugging a large pack of toilet paper.

ENVIRONMENT: A brightly illuminated modern convenience store with colorful snack shelves, refrigerated beverage displays, glossy cream-colored tiled floors, shopping baskets, and a few distant shoppers. Include realistic reflections, curved black-and-red mirror frames, and natural overhead store lighting.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE: Ultra-photorealistic photography, overhead fisheye perspective, wide-angle lens, realistic proportions, natural skin texture, detailed hair strands, authentic expressions, crisp product packaging, balanced exposure, and candid lifestyle photography.

COLLAGE LAYOUT: Perfectly aligned 3×3 grid with nine distinct vertical panels, thin white dividers, consistent image quality, and varied poses and facial expressions. Maintain the same recognizable woman throughout all nine frames.

STRICT REQUIREMENTS: Preserve the reference woman's facial identity. Keep hands, fingers, and body proportions realistic. Avoid duplicated faces, distorted anatomy, blurry details, excessive beauty filters, cartoon effects, text, logos, and watermarks.
