That is really nice of you. Are you planning on displaying it?
[ go ahead and lean in. he'll lean towards him when he does. ]
Dun dun dun! The brother! It's nice being able to have a face to go with the name. I kept just imagining a taller Kumon with a mustache. [ he is way way different omg ]
The resemblance is there, but not that much! Hyodle's got way more of a tough guy look than the excited puppy one, but he's still a big softie on the inside. It's super cute!
You mean Sumi? I don't know if he still works as a clown, actually, but he's in here. [ flips through a few other pages... this one's full of summer troupe sketches, including kumon, but he points to one in particular. ] Right here!
No, no, you have to see it! Hyodle doesn't smile that often, you know? But he was totally psyched after Kumopi's first play; it was so adorable!
[ there's a fond smile on kazu's face. ]
He totes is! And he's one of the best actors in the company, too - a total natural! Sometimes you've got to bribe him with triangles, but it all works out!
Isn't it so sweet when they get like that? Like they don't want you to know they're actually close.
Triangles! They're Sumi's fave. He loves them - anything from street signs, onigiri, cats, literally whatever! If you're not careful, he'll absolutely steal them from right under your nose.
You're an only child? That's kind of surprising. I could totes see you as the fun older bro type!
And that's Sumi! [ no hesitation. ] We've gotten along great since we first met, and I help him find triangles sometimes, but I'm nowhere near as good at it as he is.
[ hmmm. kazu sees that, but he won't ask. not yet, at least. ]
Okay, so Mankai Company has dorms, right? So we all stay there. But when we were figuring out rooming for Summer, the manager told us that one of the rooms was super haunted - like, he'd heard noises and stuff in there? And he was too scared to check it out himself, so we all went instead.
...It was Sumi! Turns out, he'd just been living there for a few years already. And he's super athletic and sneaky, so it's not surprising he could sneak past Sukecchi.
That's him. [ points! ] He's the Summer Troupe leader, and a celebrity, believe it or not! He's been acting his whole life in movies and TV shows, but he was just as new to the stage as the rest of us.
[ he gives prompto a gentle nudge. ]
It's like you and Noct, right? So we've got you to back to him!
