“Hululu's standee appeared in the penguin habitat.”

[Image 2 | Observation]
Grape-kun stood quietly next to Hululu's standee, his body naturally facing the standee and continuously observing it; showing the behavior noticed by visitors and the zoo at the time; no anthropomorphism, no human-like emotional expression; natural background blur, like a casually captured news photo.
Text:
“Grape-kun seemed particularly interested in this standee.”
“‘Love’ is people's interpretation of his behavior.”

[Image 3 | Retention]
After the collaboration ended, the standees of other characters were removed, but Hululu's standee remained in the penguin area; natural voids were left in other locations; Grape-kun still appeared near the standee; quiet penguin habitat, natural soft light.
Text:
“The collaboration has ended.”
“Other standees were removed, and Hululu was left behind.”

[Image 4 | Farewell]
Time point after Grape-kun passed away on October 12, 2017; the penguin habitat is quiet and empty, Grape-kun is no longer there, but Hululu's standee still exists; pool, rocks, fence, and empty activity space; soft natural light, expressing absence through space, not showing death scenes.

“October 12, 2017”
“Grape-kun passed away at the age of 21.”
“We do not know what he considered that standee to be.”

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