[Now it's a video.

A video of a very excited-looking little girl with ridiculously long, purple hair and a pair of glasses that are just a little too big for her. There's a yellow Pikmin tucked into her breast pocket. But most notable of all- or at least she thinks so anyway- is the bright pink flower in her hair.]

My sister Vianca is the best sister ever!!

[Ai grabs the computer and leans in closely, showing her flower to the camera.]

Isn't it beautiful!?

[Wow gosh she is excited. She leans back in her seat and gives the camera a double thumbs up.]

She's your sister?! Well, she's very pretty...!

[ Yet Isabelle still looks a bit befuddled. Something doesn't quite feel right, and given the circumstances, she's still unaware of humanization. ]

Is she your pet? Well, I should clarify... [ An awkward laugh. ] Is she your pet, but you think of her as a sister? That's very sweet!

[ video ]

[iaiai]

Oh... [Ai shakes her head.] Do you mean my Pikmin? No, she is not my sister! My sister helped me get my flower for my birthday!!

[She leans in so Isabelle can see her flower again.]

See? [A pause, she moves back in her seat again and motions to the Pikmin in her pocket.] And this is Qwerty! Vianca is a white Pikmin, not yellow.

[hisho]

Oh, I see! I'm sorry, I was just... confused for a second. [ She rubs the back of her head with an awkward chuckle. ]

Anyway, she's very cute! Very bright, too. Qwerty, right?

[ She leans forward, humming curiously. ]

I think they have Pikmin in Nookling Junction, actually. They look familiar, and oh so cute! [ SO. CUTE. ]

[Talk about empathy, when Ai came up so happy about her flower...Garry just exploded with joy on the inside. He couldn't be happier.]

Ai, it's beautiful! I'm so happy for you, dear!

[video]

[iaiai]

Thank you, Garry the Human! I am happy, too!

I see someone is blooming as much as the greenhouse does.

[iaiai]

[Oh, she's just giggling. That's really it.]

[loverofinnocence]

And pray tell, Ai, what form of flower are you becoming?

[He has a hard time not smiling.]

[paletteknife]

Oh! You got a new one! Yay!

[WOW GO AWAY MARY.]

[YEAH GO AWAY FOR REAL.]

[thelittlestsparky]

[Here's a Watt leaning closer into the screen!]

Ooooooh, it's so pretty, Ai! Vianca really is the best! I'm really really happy for you!

[Video!]

[iaiai]

Thank you, Watt! Now we finally match! Do you still have the hairclip I gave you!?

[Video!]

[thelittlestsparky]

[Watt nods eagerly!]

Uh-huh, uh-huh! Look, it's on my desk!

[She pulls out the flower hairclip off screen, and shows it to Ai in the camera.]

Wheeee! Now we can really be flower twins!!

[stillawoman]

Ai... your sister helped your flower bloom?

[ This is surprising. what didn't she do this in the first place ]

video

[iaiai]

Mmhm. There's a nectar for Pikmin that helps them bloom! It's very hard to find in this city, but Vianca got it for me for my birthday!

[lovesclearlakes]

Your flower's so pretty! It's really beautiful~ Your sister gave it to you?

[ video ]

[iaiai]

Thank you very much! And, yes, my sister helped it bloom!
