[Another Ogami]

It's a moving pictures house. I guess it's kind of like a rival to our own theater.


[Iris]

What are those?


[Another Ogami]

Hmmm... it's a place where pictures move, and tell stories similar to acting... I think?
Right now, it seems that they're putting on something called... "The Find of the Century, The Rare Beast Appears!"




[Another Ogami]

Yes, yes. Let's go inside, then.




[Iris]

Hey, what kind of story will this be?


[Another Ogami]

I'm not too sure myself. But it's sure to be an interesting story.


----
[Another Ogami]

And I'm sure that absolutely nothing will go wrong, even though I'm taking a child to see what is essentially an unrated film whose story I'm totally unfamiliar with.


[Iris]

I know! Isn't it great?

----



[Iris]

Hey, Oniichan. Who's that?


[Another Ogami]

That person's the narrator. He's the person who explains the story for us.
Movies don't have sound, so the narrator tells the story in time with the screen.


[Iris]

Hmmm...



----


[Narrator]

In fact, this was where one lone scientist had immersed himself within a certain experiment.


[Another Ogami]

(They're good at working up an atmosphere, huh...)




[Iris]

......


[Another Ogami]

(Iris has grabbed hold of my hand... is she scared?)




[Another Ogami]

Iris... are you okay? Do you want to leave?


[Iris]

I... I'm fine.


[Another Ogami]

That's alright, then, but... you don't need to push yourself.




[Iris]

No... no.....


[Another Ogami]

Iris!? Are you alright?


[Iris]

No... I'm scared...


[Another Ogami]

Iris! Calm down!




[Another Ogami]

Iris!?

[Civilian]

[Another Ogami]

[Kohran]

Aaaaaaand that's 'bout all there is in Ogami-Robo's memory banks.


[Ogami]

...


[Kohran]

... it was nice knowin' ya, Ogami-han.


[Ogami]

It's... it's not over yet! I just have to rush back into town and stop Iris from going on her insane spirit energy-fueled spree of destruction and murder.


[Kohran]

Which is probably jes' what she wants ya t' do, what with teleportin' back to the theater an' leavin' behind Ogami-Robo's head and--


[Ogami]

Wait, WHAT? Iris can do WHAT?


[Kohran]

Teleport! Well, among other things.


[Ogami]

Why didn't anyone tell me this stuff before!?


[Kohran]

... I think Ayame-han might've been tryin' t' leave you a memo on that.


[Ogami]

What? I don't remember getting any--




[Ogami]

Oh... oh, yeah. THAT paperwork.


[Kohran]

Weeeeell, 'n any case, you'd better get down t' town. I'm gonna go work on that Ogami-Robo Unit-02, so that we can have a backup ready. Ciao!


[Ogami]

----



Rassin-frassin' Kohran and Iris and Sakura and--



-- all that talk about robots and parallel universes and--



[Ogami]

Wait for me, Iris. I'm coming!



----


[Ogami]

As expected of the city of pleasure. They've got They had a moving pictures theater and an amusement park, and there are a lot of people here today, too...
... I'm pretty sure she wrote "the park's water fountain" in her diary. If that's the case, maybe over there....

----


[Ogami]

Iris... so you were down here.




[Ogami]

... don't say such dumb things. I was really worried that you might've become lost.


----
[Ogami]

... lost, and/or disoriented and/or psychotically carving your way through the unsuspecting crowds of civilians.[/i]

[Iris]

Iris isn't dumb! I'm not a child! I hate you, Oniichan!


----
[Iris]

Sticking me with a robotic double on my birthday...


[Ogami]

Er, look, about that, I'm sorry about--


[Iris]

I could've had an Oniichan all of my own, but you had to stick me with one who was an asshole!!


[Ogami]

Wha-- YOU were the one who tore that poor soul out of his body--


[Iris]

He called me short! HE CALLED ME SHORT! I'M NOT SHORT!! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!

----

[Ogami]

I... Iris... calm down!




(KA-CHOOOOOOM)
