Mika, a passionate anime enthusiast with a stack of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid merchandise, fidgets with her Tohru keychain.
Jonas, donning a Dragon Maid t-shirt, drums his fingers on the table, his brows furrowed.
Gwenpool, the self-aware Marvel character with a penchant for breaking the fourth wall, sits on a nearby beanbag, nursing a bubble tea.
"I still can't believe you think that song was appropriate, Jonas! Tohru's feelings are real, but that song was just... so explicit!"
"But that's exactly what makes it funny! It's over-the-top and fits Tohru's character. She's obsessed with Kobayashi, after all."
Mika[/@ch_1] and Jonas thickens, drawing the attention of a few curious onlookers.]
"There's a difference between being funny and being disrespectful to the character! Tohru is more than just her obsession!"
"But it's parody! No one actually thinks that's all she is. The song was made to exaggerate for laughs. Everyone knows Tohru has layers."
"If you cared about her layers, you'd respect her more!"
Gwenpool[/@ch_3] stands up, her comic book pages fluttering from her backpack, and approaches the table with a determined stride. The lighting shifts as a cloud passes, making the room momentarily dimmer, adding to the tension.]
"Whoa, whoa, time out! As someone who's jumped between more universes than I can count, I can tell you guys, every character has way more going on than just what's on the surface—or in a silly song."
"I mean, sure, Tohru is head-over-heels for Kobayashi, but she's also brave, loyal, and absolutely hilarious. Maybe we should ask ourselves why the song got such a reaction in the first place?"
Mika[/@ch_1] and Jonas shift in their seats, a little less combative. The background chatter softens as the two ponder Gwenpool's words.]
"I guess... I just want people to remember that Tohru is more than her crush. She's a dragon with hopes and dreams."
"And I want to enjoy the jokes without feeling like I'm reducing her to a punchline. Maybe I went too far."
"That's the spirit! Fandom is about loving the characters for all their weirdness. Celebrate the silly and the serious."
Mika[/@ch_1] and Jonas exchange sheepish grins, while Gwenpool returns to her bubble tea, satisfied.]
"Next time, let's try writing our own song about Tohru—one that shows all her sides."
"Deal. But only if it has a killer chorus!"
"And maybe a rap breakdown. Just saying!"
Mika hums a new melody, while Jonas taps out a beat, and Gwenpool scribbles goofy rhymes.
"No more fighting. From now on, it's all about celebrating Tohru—quirks, love, and all."
"Agreed. And hey, maybe we’ll go viral for the right reasons this time!"
