Ginji finds it hard to act surprised. When Minako shows him something he's already seen as a penguin, he searches deep in his heart to find the act of surprise. Sadly, each attempt sucks. . . No really. . . .

When Minako introduced him to Popo-chan and Gen-chan, he tried so hard to muster a Home Alone--some American movie that he watched when he was in his American obsession (which ended subsequently a week after)--countenance. But alas, his eyes seem calm and his voice starts to crack in an obvious way that shows he is definitely faking it. Ginji may be a great boxer, but a terrible actor.

"Ginji! This is Helen-chan!" Minako eagerly exclaims. Ginji attempts to grin and chat excitedly for the girl who fell for Minako and beat him more than occasionally. (He can still feel the powerful kicks.) Minako sees through Ginji's pitiful act, sadly, so she asks, "Have you met?"

And Ginji acts the same way--shaking his head no so hard that his head could spin off, babbling so fast his mouth forms foam, shaking and shuddering that he's practically haven't a seizure. This usually ends up where a passer-byer calls an ambulance, in fear that they could catch rabies.

He supposes he can tell Minako what happened to him, that he was Gin-chan, that he was the playful pet penguin that everyone grew to love. But he knows, every time he tries to thank his guardian angel for making him human again, no one answers. Ginji knows this must mean that his guardian angel is dead or in . . . or dead. So he prays his thanks and respects to the bald man, because he must've done some magical angel voodoo sacrifice for Ginji.

Still, he wishes he could tell Minako how much he loved (and still loves her) that he'd even turn into a penguin for her. . . .

A stupid penguin.
