[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.

Dunno, I've never seen a statue like that before. What is it?

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?

[there is probably some vague history of america in nill's post apocalyptic world, but she doesn't know it. she does, however, take a little while to consider before shaking her head. and she doesn't mind "talking" to him this way--she's learned very quickly (with the help of renamon) that people can't just jump through the d-terminals and out at her.]

[ Well now, there's a date he knows. It takes him back to the life of Marie Antoinette, whose soul he judged at her death.... The statue, by comparison, is more alien to him. The original is only a couple years old in his home time. ]

Well, I can answer the question the others haven't yet, but I don't just give out information for free....

[ Ah, how he misses his shop. Trying to barter for trivial information with all these lost souls is simply nothing in comparison to the workings of the underworld... not that he's going to stop trying just yet. ]

Connor? Armusuke? H-how did you get up so high?
