	"The comic shows him singing a made-up song to his pet fish in order to memorise his daily routine" … except that I don't find '''any''' indication that it's to help him memorize his daily routine. I considered it just like talking to our other pets (or infants), but with a tune applied. Talking gently, humming, singing, etc. is frequently used when working with animals or infants to keep them calm and reassured. But for this case, I think it is most likely to a form of self-talk, to get him mentally prepared to face the crowd. (or maybe singing is just something he likes to do, like all those people we see in musicals) [[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.246\|108.162.245.246]] 22:23, 19 February 2021 (UTC)		"The comic shows him singing a made-up song to his pet fish in order to memorise his daily routine" … except that I don't find '''any''' indication that it's to help him memorize his daily routine.
