Youko and Mey Mey bring them snacks and tea and she tells them that she met Tsuyoshi in the off-leash area of Kaihin Park, as he came there every day and dreamed of becoming an animal trimmer. However, animals did not want to be near him because of his deep voice, so he decided to make his face, heart, and voice a "full smile" to avoid scaring them.
