The cartoonish sound that was meant to be the dog's stomach growling in hunger is the most ridiculous sound effect I've ever heard. But I'm too enamored by Rei and Minako's shared warm and heartfelt smile to care. The fact that they both turned to each other at that sound? Rei's giggle only coming out after meeting Minako's gaze? Chef kiss!
These two met each other barely an hour(?) ago, and they are already reacting to things synchronously.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY FAVOURITE REINAKO SCENE, even if short! Why? Because this is the first instance and one of the very few instances we see Minako taking agency to initiate a kind gesture with a peer, voluntarily too. Even in the many Rei and Minako scenes to come, we often see Rei to be the one extending kindness and the one to pursue and initiate interaction with Minako. In most cases, when Minako initiates anything, it's purposeful and serious for the sake of their duties. So I very much consider this scene to be a rare scene where we see Minako interacting with Rei with her guards truly and fully down (because Rei doesn't know Minako the idol nor the fact she's Venus yet). The fact that this resulted in an act of kindness and a desire to share is just absolutely lovely. So lovely that even the dog decides to turn around so he's not intruding on the moment! lol
Also, the Japanese dialogue actually says "のど飴" (nodo ame), which means "throat lozenges". Very on point given Minako's a singer. LOL Not just Miss Dream's subs, but many subtitles, even some of the Chinese subtltles missed the "nodo" part, and just translated it as candy. While I love the idea of Minako loving sweets (a more seemingly innocent trait that also reminds us of Minako in manga and anime), it's actually more true to her character to be very careful and meticulous in taking care of her voice given her job as a singer.
