If there's one thing Satoshi and star-shaped carrot slices have in common, it's kira-kira. Shimmering, beautiful. Satoshi is kira-kira, the stars under Hiwada's night sky, the shimmering blue of Mew as it transforms into Pokemon after Pokemon. But Satoshi is so much more than that. Satoshi is Satoshi, and unlike the stars in the sky and unlike Mew, he's not out of reach. He's right by Gou's side, as tangible as star-shaped carrot slices and stew, and Gou doesn't want to ever let go.
