The Return of Picture Shiritori

The new fiscal year... are you feeling tired from all the environmental changes?
At times like these, how about a laid-back game of picture shiritori?
So, without further ado,

"The Return of Picture Shiritori"

Let's begin!
The last onewas held from August 4th to 17th, 2024.

I will copy and paste the overview and rules from the previous article.

✏　✏　✏

Since it's a picture shiritori, explaining with words is a no-go. Please compete with pictures only.
The quality of the drawing doesn't matter. Rather than elaborate art, please keep it at the level ofdoodles drawn during class.
(I think generative AI is more widespread than it was during the last event, but this project recommendslaid-back hand-drawn pictures.)

To post, please embedthe shiritori picturealong withthe article immediately preceding the one you are connecting toandthis article, and include the hashtag #TheReturnOfPictureShiritori.
The period is from today untilSunday, April 20th.
Posted pictures will be included in a magazine.
Magazine ↓ (It's fine to connect to someone you follow, or choose from the magazine)

⚫︎ You can participate as many times as you like!
⚫︎ You can connect to your own work!
⚫︎ Since it gets hard to tell where the end is, you can connect anywhere!
⚫︎ Infinite branching is okay!
⚫︎ It will be easier for others to choose which picture to connect to if you set your top image to your own drawing.

On the final day of the project (April 20th), I would like to have everyone announce the answers to their own works.

Now then,here is the first picture.
