Small Size no Hayama kamo (This Drake Could be a Small-Sized Hayama) Air Date: 08/23/96 |
After school Sana meets up again with Naozumi, another child actor who Sana met in episode 16. Sana shows Naozumi a new toy she has: a pocket synthesizer. After talking a while, Naozumi convinces Sana to go with him to a seaside cottage where he was raised by his "mother" which we learn is really an orphanage. This is where we learn that while Naozumi was growing up at the orphanage, he watched TV and adored Sana, his 'mother' told him that he could also be like Sana if he wanted to. The children of the orphanage, especially the young girls, are exstatic over Sana's arrival and put on a show for themselves and to celebrate the coming of Sana to their home.
One of the children doesn't like the idea of Sana's arrival so he ruins the show, pushing Sana into a cake. Sana then buzzes Rei for some reinforcements, and Hayama and Tsuyoshi join him. Sana tries to cheer up the kid (who I think she refers to as "Little Hayama"), and offers to bungee jump off a 500-foot tree. Eventually, she pulls off his pants and takes a photo, hoping to tame him as she did Hayama.
