Hafumi and Unagi

playlist: Conveys a story! Bonus song!


My interpretation/explanation:

Hafumi doesn't fit in his undersea town and he feels lonely :(. He also feels like the days drag on and on, with nothing eventful happening. He gazes and gazes at the moon, his only solace. Eventually, he falls in love with it and wants to go to the moon. His peers think it's an impossible dream. He continues to gaze up at the sky, night after night until one windy midnight, he sees a UFO! Not only that, he meets a uchu-usagi from the moon! From then on, the two hang out in their secret base, each teaching the other until dawn. Hafumi learns about star formations and he teaches the uchu-usagi about his home. One day, the uchu-usagi offers to take Hafumi to the moon. Hafumi, of course, accepts. But as he leaves, a stark reality reveals itself! He realizes he really likes his home and that space is kind of scary, resulting in an existential crisis. Uchu-usagi trys to calm him down and when they finally reach the moon, Hafumi has an epiphany. "It's beautiful...The Earth is beautiful."

The two friends have an Earth viewing festival together, soaking in the atmosphere, their smiles never waning.

When Hafumi is returned (friend's contact in hand), the landscape has changed. The sea radiates with a new kind of energy.

Eventually, years and years past, and Hafumi isn't really sure if that all really happened, but still, he recalls it fondly.


Notes:

-  Doll Lore relation: Maybe he was born from this dream? Maybe it all never happened and the doll hallucinated it because of the dream? 

- The moral is maybe: Don't take what you have for granted
