Super Eyepatch Fox
Mutta’s career collapses while his younger brother Hibito trains for spaceflight. Back at his parents’ home, the older brother is confronted by the astronaut dream he abandoned. Family and friends help place his résumé before the people who can offer a chance. From there, Mutta must prove that an adult setback does not end professional ambition.
Gigguku
Mutta is unemployed and back with his parents while his younger brother is literally training for space. That contrast hurts in exactly the right way! The astronaut dream is no longer a childhood fantasy floating safely in the past. His family and friends push his résumé forward, leaving Mutta to decide how much risk he can still accept.
Father's Basement
A failed older brother chasing the dream his successful younger sibling already reached could become cheap inspiration. The career collapse gives it sharper stakes. Mutta has been fired and blackballed before his astronaut application even begins. Family assistance can put his résumé on a desk, but it cannot supply the qualification or nerve required afterward.
