A pen-and-ink drawing inside a post office. An orca in a postmaster's cap with an envelope and stars, dripping cold sweat, holds a phone receiver to its ear and points a fin at the dolphin beside him. A big jagged speech bubble bursts from the receiver, showing the shadow of a small round-eared, bushy-tailed animal shaking its fists, with lightning bolts and anger marks. On the desk sits an old phone with an angry face. The dolphin, in an envelope cap with a mail bag, is teary-eyed and trembling. Letters lie scattered on the floor. Outside the rainy window, the shadow of a flag. A monochrome picture-book-style illustration in pencil and pen.

Day 15

A Rainy-Day Little Letter's Big Fuss

Little Friends on a Rainy Day

On the Dolphin's mail route, one letter went missing… The one who was supposed to receive it called in with a huge complaint. Taking the call: the Orca Postmaster. And getting a furious scolding: the dolphin mail carrier. …And then it grew into a crisis that could close the post office. It seems the caller was the boss of a certain organization. What now, Dolphin? What now, Postmaster— Just then, a deep, booming roar from outside— "Postmaaaster, it's so loooud out theeere…" "Never mind that! We've got bigger problems! Just find that letter!" The noise soon passed. "Phew, Postmaaaster, it got quiet out theeere. Isn't that niiice~" "…Hmmm? Something smells kinda fuuunny out theeere—🦑"
