Scene continues from the park bench where Yukio and Pekora are sitting.
Pekora (playfully offended): What do I want? That's a little rude, peko! I am… Usada Pekora! Princess of Pekoland!!!
Yukio: ... pauses Never heard of you.
Pekora (shocked): ... Internally: He's so direct and rude! Well... I-I'm an idol and a V-Tuber...! With over 2 million subscribers! Impressive, right-peko?
Yukio (unimpressed): Cool.
Pekora (internally): That's it?! You're just going to ignore my popularity?!
Pekora (trying to keep the conversation alive): What about you? What's your name?
Yukio: Name's Yukio.
Pekora: Oh, Yukio! Such a cool name, peko.
Yukio (internally): Why is she still talking to me? I just want some peace.
Pekora glances at his bag of chips. Her stomach growls softly.
Pekora: Hm... Hey, can I have some, peko?
Yukio: Go buy your own. We're not friends.
Pekora (internally): This guy... he's so mean!
Her face falls slightly, but she quickly brightens up and pulls out a carrot, munching on it cheerfully.
Yukio (internally): Where did she pull that from? Whatever.
Pekora begins humming a tune while eating, swaying side to side.
Yukio (slightly uncomfortable): Hey, what's a V-Tuber, anyway?
Pekora (surprised): You don't know? V-Tuber stands for "Virtual YouTuber."
Yukio: Virtual YouTuber... He pulls out his phone, searches the term, and scrolls through various channels before landing on Pekora's.
Pekora (hopeful): Maybe now he'll recognize me!
Yukio: Why is it called "virtual" if you're clearly real?
Pekora: Eh... I-I think it's just a stylish name! It sounds cooler-peko!
Yukio: Doesn't make sense. His gaze shifts to her bunny ears. Are those even real?
He reaches out with curiosity.
Pekora (flustered and backing off): Don't touch them! They're super sensitive, peko!
Yukio: Oh... Sorry.
Pekora (sighing): And yes... They're real.
Yukio: I figured. But then, why do you have four ears? Human ones and bunny ones?
Pekora: Honestly? I don't know, peko!
There's a short silence between them. Pekora keeps trying to peek at Yukio's expression, hoping for something more than disinterest, but he stays detached and aloof.
Yukio (standing up): I'm heading back.
Pekora: Aw, already? We were just getting to talk-peko!
Yukio: We weren't. I was just answering questions.
Pekora frowns slightly, watching him leave. She clutches the carrot closer.
Pekora (internally): He's such a loner... but something about him... it makes me curious.
