A gif of Fujimoto from the Ghibli film Ponyo. Gran Mamare (Ponyo’s mother) approaches him and takes his hand. She says “Listen, my darling, why don’t we let Ponyo become human for good?”

Gran Mamare continues “We must test the boy. If Sosuke’s love is true, Ponyo will be permanently transformed, and the balance of nature will be restored.”

A closeup of Fujimoto shaking his head. He says “But if his love isn’t real, then Ponyo will turn into sea foam.”

A closeup of Gran Mamare saying “True. That is where we all originated, my darling.”
