How we know

The object

Our vision pass read “Glowing pink hourglass-shaped prop covered in repeated pink kanji (愛) characters and scattered adhesive gems in purple heart, blue diamond, and clear crystal shapes arranged in a specific non-repeating pattern across the surface, with a ribbed/coiled pink base ring” — that’s what lets a photo be matched to the object.
