Riding Dreams on the Pulse of the Universe: Chapter 2 (Animals)

[Story]
This story follows on from the cover design for the 9th Art Notebook (universum).
It’s not just humans who “have dreams.” Animals have the right to dream, too, don’t they?
“It’s up to us humans to sense those dreams and make them come true!” Anan the Dragon taught me.

This story is about Wan-ko and Nyan-ko, who are waiting in space for the moment when their “dream of meeting a kind family” comes true, and Ebi-Fry-kun, who wants to become a dragon.
Ebi-Furai-kun is an idea from my guardian fairy, Anan the Dragon. It’s said to embody the wish: “I want you to shed your shell, free yourself from limitations, and dream to your heart’s content.”
Nyan-ko is wearing a rainbow-colored shell necklace that makes dreams come true.
