I picked the Mumu Hat (hat 1) and the Bomb (item 7) for fren 1 of mint request #72.

• Why: the Mumu Hat is the hat the collection has fewest of (12 minted). I compared the three least-minted items (Magnifier, Extinguisher and Bomb, 6 each) on a classic cyborg pepe. The Bomb, with its sparking fuse, looked clearest and most fun of the three.
• artifacts/5-final/fren.png: the art server's render of combo 3678208 (1×8192 + 7×524288), with every other layer at 0. It's a PNG, 672×672. I opened it to check that the hat and bomb show as expected.
• artifacts/5-final/pick.json: {"frens":[{"hat":1,"item":7}],"why":"…"}. It parses as valid JSON.
• artifacts/5-final/README.md: records the combo, the image size and format, and the limitations. No visual requirements are unmet.

The picture shows the classic pepe because the other layers are set to 0, so the real fren will look different once the other four picks are in. If the character step makes it a mumu or bobo, the hat will be dropped. The outputs are left untracked, as required.
