[Tsukasa looks down at his camera, then back up at Shepard. He nods once.]
My friends and I went to somewhere called 'The World of Kabuto'. This was an earth where Kamen Riders were part of a government security force called Zect, who was protecting the population from monsters called Worms, who could assume the form and memories of anyone.
[He pauses.]
Worms were able to shift into something called 'Clock Up', which made them move very quickly, faster than light speed, and the Riders had a system that countered it, letting them move at the same speed. The greatest Rider on that world is named Kabuto, and his Clock Up system was malfunctioning, causing him to be stuck at super speed, and to become something like a ghost story to the people of his world. They feared him, because he seemed to strike at random and without warning.
The fact of the matter is that Kabuto's actions were calculated. He was protecting his sister, or, rather, the person he thought was his sister. He found out that she was another Worm, though she didn't know. He didn't care, because she was family. At the end of it, despite being dragged out of Clock Up for a while, he had to return to that mode, if only so that the rest of the Riders of that world would be able to stop the Worms. He continues to protect his sister to this day, unable to communicate with her, just watching from a distance.
[He clears his throat a little bit, then looks at Shepard again.]
And that's the story of one of the greatest men I've ever met. I don't think that I would have been able to do that.
[He looks like he'd be willing to tell another story, if she'd like.]
