Meaning of "tonbi"?
There was something that I've been wondering about for a while.

During the... second (I think?) meeting of Fuko, if you decide to let her go, she charges at you, but when you look back, she dodges but hits a wall instead. The thing is, the text says that when she evades, she makes a " *Whoosh* " sound, but in actuality, she says something like "tonbi". I've tried Googling it, but everything I've seen says it's a type of bird. I was just wondering why she would say "tonbi" at all. Is there anyone who can answer this considering the original Japanese context?

She literally says トンビ (tonbi). "Ton" is the equivalent to the English "knock".
I'm not fluent in Japanese but I don't think this means anything here, it's just something random she said when she hit the window. She says another random thing after that (Hyuu- hyorooroo-).

Oh, so the timing was a little different in the original Japanese and at that point she already hit the window. OK.

Yeah, the hyuu-hyoroo thing I just decided was just a sign of her dizziness after slamming into that window.

Tonbi, トンビ, 鳶. It's a type of bird looks like eagle. That what I know.
Maybe it just random or her habit. As Nagisa said "Anpan" to her self.
