MISCGAG 2 — Goes to bathe; a shark scares him off

MISCGAG 2 on PS1 at night: Johnny stands under the palm tree with a small white towel spread on the sand next to him, set up for a bath that the shark will interrupt. — MISCGAG 2 on PS1, captured during the v0.8.4-ps1 chapter-select grind. The bath-prep setup beat: Johnny under the palm with the towel spread on the sand, the moment before the shark turns up in the surf and scares him off. (For Johnny eaten by a shark, see FISHING 5; for the shark dragging Johnny like a water-skier, see FISHING 4.) MISCGAG 2 is also part of the foreground-only multi-view hard-cluster (with MISCGAG 1, STAND 1, and the wide LILLIPUTIAN arrival) that all needed the generic normal / far-left / far-right host stitch before packs replayed cleanly.

What this scene is

Johnny heads down to the surf to take a bath. A shark turns up in the water and scares him off before he can settle in. Confirmed by direct on-PS1 playback observation while capturing the chapter-select thumbnail; the prior “towel, toe, shark” caption-mapping had the towel and shark right but missed the bath-and-scare-off framing.

Validation Notes

MISCGAG 2 passed human visual + audible signoff after the current export pipeline rebuilt both high and low packs with the generic normal/far-left/far-right foreground-only multi-view stitch. The signed route was the normal high-tide/night playback route.

Runtime island placement remains variable; the controlled host/test island positions only prove the scene-relative pack carries all pixels.
