MEMORY SEQUENCE 002 - VIDEO

[The camera cuts abruptly to a view from the roof of a building, giving a panorama over one of the bridges and the river of the city. How the D-Terminal's owner got up to such a height is unknown, but who it belong to becomes obvious when Armadillomon shuffles into view. He pokes his nose over the edge of the roof, looking a little green.]

I don't know why you had to carry me up here... Couldn't I have just waited on the ground where it's safe?

[Then there's a brief glimpse of Connor's hooded face as he sets the D-Terminal down, perching himself on the edge of the rooftop. Apparently the multi-story drop doesn't make him flinch in the least.]

There. [The camera is angled toward, in the distance, Tokyo's Statue of Liberty.] Look at the tablet she is holding. It has a date on it -- "4th July, 1776".

[This means nothing to Armadillomon, who is only looking more anxious.] All right, now you've seen it, can we get down?

Wait. [He places a hand on Armadillomon's shell, as if to soothe his nerves.] I wish to know the meaning of the other date. "14th July, 1789". [Now his attention is on the D-Terminal, which he glances down to.] Is anyone able to tell me? And why is such a statue in a place such as this? It should not belong in this world.

The Statue of Liberty is here because the Digital World has merged with the Real Worlds. Since this city has several landmarks from modern day Tokyo, Japan, I would assume that statue is from Japan.

Does that answer one of your questions sufficiently?

No, it isn't. A replica was built in Tokyo as a simple tourist attraction. There are several of them worldwide.

Tourist. One who travels and visits cities for entertainment.

Very common, actually.

[a beat]

What year is it where you come from?

That explains your questions, then. And yes, I live several hundred years in the future from you.

[Interrupting sounds like a good idea, watching an argument from the D-Terminal is just awkward]

Doesn't learning about your surroundings take precedent over relaxation and enjoyment? You've lived here your whole life, but we're still learning how this world works.

Give it some time, if you work at it, you'll come to understand each other soon.

I don't know, Kyouko, I've known you for almost two weeks now and I sure don't understand you!

[. . . a sigh] It may take longer than a few weeks, though.

Whether we get along or understand each other or not, we need to work together. Somehow, I don't think things will be peaceful around here for long.
