##[【ア・冬優子イズム】黛 冬優子 [A・Fuyukoism] Mayuzumi Fuyuko](https://youtu.be/D8bCvqEf-t8) ![Alt Tag](https://imassc.gamedbs.jp/image/card/still/1722319960010_cvah9l6m.jpg) *** ### 三人称虚数 - Third-Person Complex Number Darkness. A soundscape of underwater submersion. The void is cut by a cacophony of cicadas crying, a signal of the Summer scenery. A cafe bell chimes as a door opens, setting the scene. !!! note -> **It always appears as such.** <- In the cafe, two friends are conversing over a relatively mundane topic before one interjects, asking if they were a fan of Mayuzumi Fuyuko. Affirming the rather foolish question, the friend gestures across the cafe, asking if that isn't Fuyuko in the flesh. The Fan's overwhelmingly bewildered reaction all but confirms it, leaving them wondering what she's doing here. At the other table sits Fuyuko, Producer, and a Magazine Editor. The Editor offers a rather interesting proposal. Based on Fuyuko's background in a trade school for Fashion design, they propose a gravure shoot project where Fuyuko will lead the design for the swimsuit. Knowing that Fuyuko has done plenty of shoots at this point, the Editor expresses an interest in taking a different approach, something that could perhaps bring out more of the underlying charm at the root of Fuyu. In response, Fuyu is grateful for the offer, but feels that since she only dabbled in design a little bit, she could not compare to a professional designer at all. The Editor pushes further, maintaining that pro designers are available to assist as long as the idea and vision of the design reflects Fuyu's true self. Additionally, they believe the fans would love it once they learned Fuyu had a hand in the design process. Fuyu's wavering concern shows in her lack of response. The Fan and Friend have been earnestly watching. Although they can't quite discern what they're talking about, they can tell it's become quite serious. Producer chimes in, elaborating that they appreciate the offer and will need some time to consider their answer as Fuyuko's schedule is rather packed and it's undetermined whether she'll have the appropriate amount of time to accommodate for this sort of project. The Editor obliges, saying to take their time on making a decision. The Fan comments that Fuyuko is always like that, earnestly thinking about her work and her fans first and foremost. With the meeting adjourned, Fuyuko takes her leave, but not before giving a small gesture to the Fan. Apparently she noticed, and the fan is left feeling both aghast for being rude by staring too much and elated for being acknowledge. !!! note -> **It never changes.** <- In the car, Producer comments about the proposal, expressing his amazement about having an idol both design and model the swimsuit. He thinks under normal circumstances this kind of project wouldn't be offered, but in this case because it's Fuyuko, exceptions were made. Fuyuko supposes that could be the case... !!! info **Choice 1: "It's reasonable to be cautious."** Producer reasons that it's outside of her area of expertise, so it's a given she's concerned about taking on such a project. Fuyuko retorts he's stating the obvious, it's nothing like a typical assignment. Not any idol would take this sort of job lightly. But a chance is a chance. Producer agrees. !!! note -> **We're always looking our best.** <- !!! info **Choice 2: "Is it about the root of your underlying charm?"** %#5ce626%F="If that's what they desire, there's no point in denying them that."%% %yellow%P="Perhaps, but that may not always prove to be beneficial for Fuyuko. They don't seem to be making the request knowing your circumstance, but if at any point you feel a little concerned about that matter..."%% !!! note -> **Whether they desire to observe or not, is a relief all the same** <- %#5ce626%F="Hmm, are you implying they can see through *Fuyu*?"%% Producer denies those implications, to which Fuyu jests that it was a joke. !!! note -> **It's still the beloved appearance after all** <- !!! info **Choice 3: "You can refuse"** %#5ce626%F="...Are you serious?"%% %yellow%P="...Of course, I'd rather not Fuyuko force herself to do it" P="But...if Fuyuko wants to take it upon herself to, I'll do everything to support her decision."%% %#5ce626%F="...Thanks for your concern..."%% %#5ce626%F="I'll take your word and take some time to consider it."%% !!! note -> **Always earnest, That's my ideal self.** <- *** ### 波はいつも余白をめざす - The Waves Always Heads Towards The Margins !!! warning -> **More earnest than the rest.** <- Fuyuko gives a huge sigh of relief. Before Producer can make a comment, Fuyuko bounces into self defense, saying there's no problems since it's that kind of day after all. Flashback to earlier: Producer makes an attempt to calm Fuyuko down. Fuyuko is upset that the person scheduled to meet with them had the gall to not show up and contact them to let them know the situation. She complains how could this person be a model member of society, lacking consideration of how much effort was spent for this meeting. Producer continues to reason, surmising that they most likely didn't have ill-intentions, and he can handle the rest himself. %#5ce626%F="It's not about me....You had..."%% Fuyuko calls for a change in plans. They're leaving. Producer confused, asks where to exactly? Back in the present, Producer responds it's probably fine, since she has lessons anyways. Fuyuko points out that Producer ate quite a lot himself. He defends that he couldn't help himself since it was so delicious. Producer concedes that a day like this is good every once in awhile. As long as Fuyuko is enjoying herself, it's fine. Producer then suggests taking a detour. Fuyuko retorts she couldn't eat another bite, but Producer insists that it's not that kind of detour. After some driving, they arrive at the beach as the sun is setting. Fuyuko questions what's the idea behind coming here, and Producer assures her there's no deep meaning behind coming to the beach. After a moment, Fuyuko chimes in with her thoughts, expressing that the sort of treatment earlier wouldn't have happened if Fuyuko were a bigger idol. Producer denies that, but Fuyuko continues, admitting that she's just some 19 year-old girl that happens to be doing idol activities. Beyond that, she's very ordinary. %#5ce626%F="I won't treat it like some easy going job, Being an Idol, nor a Designer."%% !!! warning -> **More sincere than the rest.** <- %#5ce626%F="I've come to a conclusion. I'll take on the project to design the swimsuit."%% %yellow%P="?"%% %#5ce626%F="Huh? Didn't you take me here for that reason?"%% %yellow%P="No...that wasn't my intentions."%% %#5ce626%F="Even if it wasn't part of your plan....it's what I've decided." F="They want to bring out my hidden charm? It appears they're considerably serious about this, no....?" F="I'll just have to dig it out...something that rivals this sort of ridiculously beautiful scenery." F="Creating something isn't some half-hearted endeavor..."%% %yellow%P="Somehow...hearing it from Fuyuko leaves me utterly convinced it'll work out."%% %#5ce626%F="Well, Fuyu will make it happen through her own means."%% !!! info **Choice 1: "Just don't push yourself."** %#5ce626%F="That's something I should say right back at you." F="Even today...there's no need to suffer through such an affair..." F="...After you foolishly went through effort of diligently preparing the materials."%% %yellow%P="Fuyuko...by chance, was today's sweet tour a matter of..."%% %#5ce626%F="Idiot...!"%% !!! warning -> **The one girl with the kindest heart of all.** <- !!! info **Choice 2: "I'll give you my full support."** Fuyuko exclaims "I'll live up to those expectations!" before running off along the shore. Producer calls out to her as she runs off. !!! warning -> **That girl...when she desired to run, she would run.** <- %#5ce626%F="Idioooot!"%% !!! warning -> **When she desired to shout, she would shout.** <- -> **That's the reason I'm here.** <- !!! info **Choice 3: "I'm confident it'll be a great design."** Fuyuko shares her idea of the design, drafting a rough picture into the sand. As Producer takes a look, a wave comes crashing onto the shore, washing away the design draft. %yellow%P="Aw...After Fuyuko just made it..."%% %#5ce626%F="I guess the wave is saying it's not good enough yet"%% !!! warning -> **No matter how many times it's wounded.** <- -> **No matter how many times it's erased.** <- "It's fine, I'll do it all over once again," Fuyuko says with a smile. !!! warning -> **She's the kind of Idol that will continue resisting the waves.** <- *** ###イリイズム再考 - illeism Reconsideration !!! danger -> **Foolish Question** <- In the Mayuzumi Household, Fuyuko is working away at designing the swimsuit. The words of the Editor at the cafe resonate in her mind: "Something we don't usually see. Perhaps you could call it a hidden charm of sorts....?" "Mayuzumi-san’s true self, as you truly are...more like this...." She drops her pencil and contemplates over her fans' perception of Mayuzumi Fuyuko. "Yes, just as expected! I love it, this is the kind of Mayuzumi Fuyuko I adore!" "Huh....Fuyu-chan, was like this all along?" Fuyuko appears to be stumped as she groans in frustration. !!! danger -> **Foolish Question** <- %#5ce626%F="This isn't simply some sketching." F="Not just some drawn lines. Not just a blot of colors." F="If you whittle it down, it'll begin to bleed...This is something that needs to be faced earnestly."%% The sound of the waves crashing against the shoreline muddle the vision. %#5ce626%F="This is Fuyu, after all. It's Fuyu herself."%% Fuyuko steps away from her draft and leaves her room. %#5ce626%F="That's what this is about isn't it? This project."%% As Fuyuko begins to leave the house, her mom calls out to her. Fuyuko explains she's stepping out for a moment, and her mom reminds her not to go to far. !!! danger -> **Foolish Question** <- Fuyuko takes a stroll through her neighborhood for a change of pace. A thought lingers in her mind. "Fuyu" In her distraction, she stumbles over a step, nearly taking a fall. After catching herself, she breathes a sigh of relief. "What kind of shape is she?" Fuyuko's phone rings, and she answers. It's Producer. He apologizes for suddenly calling at this hour. Before he can explain his reason for calling, the sound of a pigeon's coo can be heard. Producer asks if Fuyuko is outside, and she clarifies she's taking a stroll, nothing wrong with that. After some muttering from Producer, Fuyuko claims she's busy and questions what's the real reason Producer called. While he struggles to put it into words, Fuyuko presumes he called to check up on her progress with the design. She reassures him that everything's fine, she'll make sure to complete it by the deadline. But admittedly, progress has been hampered as one could imagine. Producer is about to say something before Fuyuko stops him, insisting that she'd like to continue tackling the design head on. %#5ce626%F="This is about Fuyu...I want to properly overcome this, and give it a shape." F="I plan on persisting a little longer so...Just wait for me."%% %yellow%P="Of course, I'll be waiting. But..."%% !!! info **Choice 1: "The stars are beautiful tonight."** %#5ce626%F="Huh...?"%% %yellow%P="Uh, Well...I just think once in awhile it's not a bad idea to just look up at the night sky." P="...I can see Aquila!"%% %#5ce626%F="What's that about...?"%% Fuyuko gazes up at the sky, perhaps taking note of the constellation, Aquila. ![Alt Tag](https://i.imgur.com/at0BpMN.png) %#5ce626%F="...Every once in awhile huh"%% !!! danger -> **That sort of shape** <- !!! info **Choice 2: "Fuyuko from my point of view..."** %yellow%P="...is charming at all times I believe. Even the Fuyuko I'm speaking with now..."%% %#5ce626%F="...from your point of view? You can't just simply..."%% A sudden revelation strikes Fuyuko. %#5ce626%F="Sorry Producer, I gotta go."%% Before Producer can finish his sentence, Fuyuko hangs up and immediately returns home. She passes by her mom in the living room and returns to her room. She begins working away at her design. !!! danger -> **Foolish Question** <- !!! info **Choice 3: "A diversion is fine"** %yellow%P="Listen to all the sounds around you, and contemplate over them...and then perhaps there'll be a new sound you'll hear for the first time."%% %#5ce626%F="Isn't that just a consequence...In fact, isn't it best not to take too much of a detour?"%% Fuyuko walks along in the neighborhood. The soundscape of the night fills the air. The cooing of the pigeon startles Fuyuko, as she laughs it off. !!! danger -> **That sort of shape** <- *** ###皮膜境界線 - Veiled Boundary Line Submerged underwater, a source of light glimmers above. !!! note -> **Is there no opening?** <- The Cameraman is speaking to Fuyuko, likening the photoshoot as a match between the two of them. %cyan%C="In what way can we bring out the innermost charms of Fuyuko-chan for the camera?%% %#5ce626%F="Ehehe, Please be gentle with me!"%% %cyan%C="Let's get started then, Fuyuko-chan"%% !!! note -> **Must a perfect stance always be maintained?** <- They commence the photoshoot. !!! note -> **The Embodiment of Professionalism?** <- The Editor and Producer are conversing as the photoshoot proceeds. The Editor asks if Fuyuko really did complete the design all herself, to which Producer confirms, expressing that she took the time and effort to the utmost. The Editor is thoroughly impressed, mentioning that he even received some quips that the designers felt like they didn't do any work. Producer Hahas. The Editor further elaborates that the designers barely made any modifications, expecting to remove some aspects. After all, armatures always tend to add more than necessary as they say. !!! note -> **For better....or for worse.** <- Fuyuko continues the photoshoot as the Cameraman gives out more directions. !!! note -> **However, I feel like there's something more than meets the eye.** <- The Photoshoot Staff speaks amongst themself, commenting about how this concept is groundbreaking and feeling bewitched. The photoshoot enters a momentary break. !!! note -> **The depth of which is seemingly unfathomable...** <- %yellow%P="Hmm...Are you not getting out of the pool, Fuyuko?"%% %#5ce626%F="Does Producer-san want to take a dip too?%% %yellow%P="Haha, in my suit?"%% %#5ce626%F="Ehehe, it's suitable."%% The Staff are talking about Fuyuko and Producer, mentioning they have a seemingly spiritual bond. A peculiar atmosphere surrounding them that leaves little opening. Another conversation occurs between the Cameraman and Magazine Editor. The Editor labels a pool to an artificial ocean. A fake ocean. He proposes a question: What happens when a girl wearing the mask of an idol enters a fake ocean clad in a swimsuit she designed herself? Producer shares with Fuyuko that the staff have all been praising the shoot and her design. Continuing the conversation between the Cameraman and Editor: %cyan%C="When you multiply a minus with a minus...Ah, so that's what this concept is about then..."%% %orange%E="That's right...The swimsuit, the ocean, the mask all counteract each other. All that remains is the creation that defines the creator." E="That's the hidden theme...Oh right, keep this a secret from 283-san."%% *A splash of water* Continuing from Fuyuko's and Producer's conversation underwater: %#5ce626%F="If not, there'd be an issue."%% %yellow%P="Haha, true. I'm glad it's being properly appraised.%% %#5ce626%F="I drew it with that intention after all." F="This is...Fuyu's shape after all."%% !!! note -> **So this time, what could possibly come to fruition...?** <- The Cameraman calls out to Fuyuko, asking her to come out of the pool for a moment. *Animation Plays* ![Alt Tag](https://imassc.gamedbs.jp/image/card/still/1722319960009_y5soql7x.jpg) In that moment, the Cameraman takes a burst of shots noticing a photo opportunity. Fuyuko is caught off-guard. !!! note -> **Right, an Idol** <- %#5ce626%F="Uhm..."%% %cyan%C="Ah...Just now, Fuyuko-chan, I felt something really amazing from you." C="That face, I've never seen you make it before! Ah, I missed it..."%% %#5ce626%F="Hehe, Sorry."%% !!! note -> **The Possibilities....are full of margins** <- *** ###わたしの名はばか - My Name is Fool *A single lens shutter closes and a drop of water* Fuyuko and Producer are exiting a store. Fuyuko wanted to check if the magazine was selling, and Producer tells her she needn't worry as it would surely sell fine. Although Fuyuko figures people may clamor over the story of an idol designing her own swimsuit as the hook, Producer insists that Fuyuko will receive the recognition she deserves after all the effort she dedicated to the design. *The sound of a reversing vehicle blares* As they're walking back, Fuyuko feels compelled to tell Producer something. %#5ce626%F="Hey Producer....Thanks."%% %yellow%P="Hmm?"%% Flashback to during the photoshoot, when the Editor and Producer are conversing: %orange%E="Basically, I was wondering if you could give me your opinion as a Producer"%% %#5ce626%F="It's not something to be surprised about. In fact, I'm constantly indebted to you for all you've done."%% %yellow%P="But, Fuyuko herself does all the hard work. I'm simply just doing what's expected of me as a Producer."%% %#5ce626%F="...Well, of course you'd say something like that." F="But...Couldn't you just be a little more honest and accept it?"%% %yellow%P="Uh...Okay, you're welcome."%% %#5ce626%F="...Acceptable."%% %#bfff00%F/P="Haha."%% %orange%E="If the parts we can't observe are even more fascinating then..."%% %#5ce626%F="This summer...it feels like it somehow became an important time for Fuyu."%% *The click of a shutter and falling into water* A construction worker leads a vehicle as it reverses, the sound of the signal blaring. %#5ce626%F="Hey, Producer..." F="Fuyu's...steadily moving forward, right?"%% %orange%E="Remember earlier, what the Cameraman said...he missed the shot, the Phantom shot"%% %yellow%P="...The fact you've come this far is the results of Fuyuko's efforts. P="To be able to embrace yourself and give it shape, and be appreciated for it..."%% *The click of a shutter* %yellow%P="Fuyuko was able to break out of her boundaries, and I believe that was an important step forward."%% The moving continues as the sound of the signal blares. %#5ce626%F="Mmm, you're right."%% %orange%E="If the world could discover *'that girl'*..."%% %#5ce626%F="If you say so, I'm sure that's the case."%% The construction work yells. "Wrong! Wrong! Not that way..." %#5ce626%F="If that's what all the fans desire then..."%% *The click of a shutter* ![Alt Tag](https://i.imgur.com/rFSym4s.png) %#5ce626%F="For example, if it must.......But"%% **CRASH** An accident occurs, and the workers warn everyone they must pass on the other side for safety. %yellow%P="Haha, I feel like I'm being overrated here..."%% %#5ce626%F="Whether or not that's the case, Fuyu has no choice but to believe."%% Suddenly, an apparition's voice appears, causing a paranormal distortion. ![Alt Tag](https://i.imgur.com/nzeFbLY.png[/img) %#5ce626%Fuyuko="I've come too far to stop here"%% %red%Ghost Fuyu="Hey"%% %#5ce626%Fuyuko="Eventually I'll reach the top"%% The apparition's voice takes over, as the submerged soundscape engulfs. %red%Ghost Fuyu="Hey, what about Fuyu?"%% %#5ce626%Fuyuko="We're going to find it, together." %% %yellow%P="Of course!" %% %red%Ghost Fuyu="Fuyu's Oxygen..."%% %#5ce626%Fuyuko="We're going to change the world"%% **Darkness** %red%Ghost Fuyu="I can't find it" Ghost Fuyu="Nothing" Ghost Fuyu="For all eternity..."%% ###END *** ###Analysis: Hello, First off, thanks for reading the summary. I don't know if I can even call it that at this point. If you made it this far, that means you have a higher attention span than your average SCP, so I commend you for that. Anyways, there's a lot to read into, and I'll start out by saying that as it stands, a lot of interpretation is purely subjective, and I'm sure there are multiple readings into the overall text (Not only that but things can always get lost in translation as the language begets high context). So, let's begin. ######Mathematics A fair amount of Fuyu commus make allusions to mathematics as a form of symbolizing relationships and changes of status. To begin with, the title of the 1st chapter has some varying TL (三人称虚数 - Third-Person Complex Number), and I vouched to use Complex Number. To remind you of what you may have forgotten from math class, complex numbers in mathematics are the combination of a real number and an imaginary number. What led me to use this was the example provided by the Cameraman in the 4th chapter, where he multiplies negatives to form an outcome. In this case, there's a sense of complex arithmetic occurring when combining the imaginary concept of Fuyu's persona with other items considered as substitutes to formulate the real Fuyuko. Another example of use of mathematics as a tool to illustrate this symbolism can be found in [【三文ノワール】黛 冬優子 [Cheap Noir] Mayuzumi Fuyuko](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xkBM5jEX_4kyOTXq_LnRznspFTrazlrFkbbGuOSWlsE/edit?usp=sharing) ![Alt Tag](https://i.imgur.com/6Ok8xJV.png) The math problem Fuyuko presents Producer (Idol ÷ Fuyuko =?) proposes the question of what happens if being an Idol was separated from Mayuzumi Fuyuko. The implications of this are quite prominent in more recent past Fuyuko commus, particularly the infamous Parallel Collection Fuyuko Commu, and I feel not much needs to be said about what the end product of this formula is. ######Nameless (Margin) Text Inserts Sprawled about the commu are unnamed text inserts upon White canvases. I signified all of these with the Center Aligned formatting to help distinguish these. As far as the readings, each chapter appears to have an actual identifiable speaker for these inserts. The inserts often times appear to form a whole sentence altogether, or at least complete chain of thought and serves as a framing device for the chapter's point of view. From my understanding, I believe the order goes: %#5ce626%Ch1. Fuyu%% = Focus on the Ideal self, personification of Fuyu. The Desire to upkeep the constant Idol facade. %yellow%Ch2. Producer%% = Focus on the charming qualities of Fuyuko that culminates as the reasons he stands by her, illustrating the shape of Fuyuko %#5ce626%Ch3. Fuyuko%% = Focus on a self-defining "Foolish Question," Wavering identity, Seeking to answer a convoluted question by any means. %orange%Ch4. Editor%% = Focus on seeing beyond the veil/boundary that separates the Idol and the Girl behind the Idol. Seeking any sort of opening. Ch5. None? ######Margins The significance of Margins in this commu can perhaps be correlated to their principle applications in Design. Margins as a design philosophy revolves around using blank space on a canvas to accomplish several things: 1. **Create contrast.** By including White spaces/Margins in design, you can help the target audience focus on the primary subject. One could say the contrast between Fuyu and Fuyuko is a figurative margin to illustrate the gap between an Idol and an Ordinary Girl. 2. **Legibility** A large factor in design principles is insuring that the message comes across. By adding kerning and spacing for typeface, margins create the means to allow text to be conveyed without disruption. As referenced in the previous Nameless Text Inserts, the inclusion of these inserts upon a white canvas act as a signifier to the reader the message being relayed. 3. **Room.** The White blank space margins provide accommodate for additions if necessary, allowing room to develop, modify, and evolve the design. "The Possibilities....are full of margins" is the final line of Ch4, and reflects the idea of Fuyuko having room to grow as an idol and an individual. ######Illeism (illeism) Illeism is the practice of referring to oneself in the third person instead of the first person, as in Fuyuko's case, refering to herself as Fuyu. An interesting cognitive study of the practice shows that when speaking in the third person of oneself, there can be a sense of detachment that enables to person to have a better understanding of the bigger picture. The switch to third person allows them to be more objective with the circumstances, and now allow themselves to be caught up in their own subjective feelings. Perhaps this sort of philosphy was something Fuyuko emplays as she continues to refer to herself as Fuyu, not only because of her pursuit of idealized self, but as a cognitive tool. Explains how analytical she can be. ######Ghost Fuyu I can't help but to refer to the ending Fuyu as Ghost Fuyu. For some reason, ghosts, apparition, phantoms, and the like have become a motif in Fuyuko's recent commus, even showing up in Straylight support commus like Asahi's Christmas one. Hell, do I have to point out the obvious in their song titled Imitiation Ghost? I believe Ghost Fuyu first made her appearance at the end of [[Nonsense・Prompt] Mayuzumi Fuyuko ENG Summary](https://pastebin.com/8jmBRhSP). It's only natural for her to appear again, crying for oxygen. It's not exactly clear what "Fuyu's Oxygen" is actually representative of, but I'll stick with my previous reading in believing it to be a crossover between Producer's lie and Fuyuko's lie. However, the implications of there existing some sort of weird paranormal Ghost Fuyu, even if strictly figurative, is not necessarily the most positive imagery. The juxtaposition of the Construction worker accident and the dialogue between Fuyu and Producer paints a picture of foreboding disaster. Particularly the Construction worker shouting "Wrong! Wrong!" after Fuyuko's line "%#5ce626%"If you say so, I'm sure that's the case."%% is quite concerning. It's no mere coincidence all this plays out as it does, and anyone that thinks this commu ended on a purely happy note may need to read between the margins a bit more. I'm tired so I'm gonna stop here for now with my analysis. Please Please Please Please someone discuss this with me on /@/. Thank you. Lazorgunn
