Product placement
Hachiware (plush toy) - appears as a character that provides emotional support and motivation. Its presence is central to the narrative and the creator's feelings. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's meaning. (Appears, but its role is central to the narrative, making it act as a character). Chiikawa (anime) - appears as the origin of the creator's fondness for Hachiware. Its presence explains the creator's connection. Removing it would remove the context for the creator's interest. (Appears, provides context).
