here to talk about another frkz tidbit that gets to me (not storyline-related)

At the very end of Episode 1053 (the one where Kazami gets trapped in the basement of a farm and Furuya goes to save him), right after the next episode's preview and the hint, there's this short dialogue between them in voice-over:

furuya: kazami, what are your summer vacation plans? kazami: eh- summer vacations...;; furuya: taking a vacation is also part of your work.

aside from making me go "what the fuck are u talking about, furuya, what the fuck are you talking about......" , this exchange kills me bc the episode originally aired on 6 August 2022.

Meanwhile, in the summer of 2022, there was this extremely. extremely. extremely. amazing series of official merch being sold at the Osaka-Jo Special Shop in Japan:

aka the FuruKaza Natsu Matsuri merch. aka the Furuya and Kazami going to the summer festival together merch.

So my favourite thing to think is: is that the summer vacations plans you were thinking about, Furuya, when you asked him if he had any plans? Did you invite him to the summer festival when he said he didn't have any and is that why there's merch of you two enjoying a festival in yukata? Do you really think it's normal for a boss and subordinate to be enjoying a summer festival like that, just the two of you? Every other pair is either a canon pairing (yes, Jodie and Akai too - they dated) or one with a canon crush, so what are you? Canon married pair? I understand.

Also, bonus: Furuya eating trans cotton candy.
