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.

Does that answer one of your questions sufficiently?

[From beside him, Armadillomon can be seen passing a paw over his face. Seriously Connor, you ask too many questions. All the time.]
[video]
[video]
Such visitors are common in Tokyo?
[video]
[a beat]
What year is it where you come from?
[video]
... You are from a distant future as well, I presume.
[video]
[video]
[Connor frowns, annoyed, at that.] I did not ask you to choose me as a partner, Armadillomon. If it bothers you--
N-no! It's just that you should take a break from the questions every once in a while! Relax and enjoy being in a new place, you know?
[Connor's irritable expression deepens. Might want to stop them before this becomes a full-blown argument, Kyouko. ...Or just watch, either one.]
[video]
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.
[video]
[He just worries Connor is getting himself too hung up over everything, trying to take in so much at once. Connor disagrees; the sooner he learns what he can, the better.]
Armadillomon does not understand the importance of matters in my world, nor do I understand much of his. It is troublesome.
[video]
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.
