Artist's commentary
Day after day, Ageha keeps growing.
Some things resembling legs have grown out from her waist, and now she can walk upright instead of crawling.
I was surprised by such a fast growth, but she is obedient as always and doesn't do anything dangerous.
When I pet and hug her, she smiles happily, and I want to spoil her like a cute pet.
It is not just Ageha's body that has grown.
It seems like she has started to gradually memorize words that I use.
She recognizes that "Ageha" is her name, and often looks with interest at TV or a computer screen.
She understands meanings of words that I use often, and her learning speed is equal to a human's, and might even exceed it.
Although it is problematic that she still can only say "kii, kii", so we are far from having any kind of proper communication.
All I can do now is watch how far her intelligence can advance.
