Not everyone has Summer Vacation start at the same time, but it's often a great relief when summer vacation truly starts. There were many things that people were looking forward to, especially in Animalia and its colonies.

The most recent special event was the Memorial Day conversions, where conversions (and double-dosings) for all veterans would be half off (with Veteran's Day being the other day). Of course, there was also the risk of RHS symptoms developing after conversion, but there was now research that, at least partially, linked traumatic experiences to RHS development, but the research was incomplete, at best.

Another thing that people were looking forward to would be the official opening of Ao Guang Island. What helped promote it was the first commercial that Aiko shot, especially since Aiko had followed up on her promise and gotten the identical twins the conversion they wanted, because now they were Cat Animalians, with one being a white cat with blue eyes and the other being a black cat with green eyes. What nobody expected, except perhaps the twins themselves, was the sheer difference in personality between the two: the white one being somewhat quiet and demure, and the black one being loud and 'spicy'. This led the internet (at least in China, Japan, and Korea) dubbing them as 'Yin-Yang twins', at least for now.

There was also the group wedding of the original cast of Animalia Ambassadoria, but having the ceremony and reception afterward during Pride Month was almost guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows. However, there were those who pointed out that weddings happening in June long before June was Pride Month.
