Takashi Rosenkreuz looked once again at the teal-haired Tsubame clone.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you as if you were Tsubame..."
Takashi drifted off, slightly drooling as he began thinking about Tsubame. The Teal-haired
clone, on the other hand, just stared at Takashi blankly, while her little robot chanted
"Asobu".
As the train hit a bump, Takashi was brought back to reality, and looked back at the clone.
"You know, you never told me your name..." The clone continued to stare blankly at Takashi, as
though asking him what he was leading up to.
Takashi sighed slightly, before getting to the point.
"What's your name?" The clone nodded slightly, before responding.
"watashi wa... kuron ni-hyaku go-juu nana desu" Upon hearing that, Takashi sighed slightly.
"I know you're the 257th clone, but that's beside the point. What do people call you?"
"watashi wa kuron ni-hyaku go-juu nana desu" The clone stated adamantly. Takashi sighed once
again.
"We really have to get you a name... and teach you English, since we can't stay in Japan much
longer..."
After the whole "Crane landing on Earth" thing, Takashi wasn't looked at very highly, having
"tried to abduct a bunch of little girls for his sexual pleasure by threatening to destroy all
technology on the world"... Yep, Takashi was going to get his revenge on the guy he was cloned
from one day...
"I don't care if you're hiding out in some spaceship/fortress floating in the middle of space,
cloaked using some technology that's been plucked out of your sleeping brain and invented by
your damn super-effecient AI system! I will get you, Crane!" Takashi shouted at the sky.
Fortunately, he was on the outside of the train, so noone but Number 257 could hear him. Of
course, Number 257 just went back to staring blankly at Takashi.

Kamome smiled evilly as she continued she responded to Takashi's query. "Oh, it's quite
simple, really... a version of me came from the future and gave me this..." With that, Kamome
pulled out a picture of a girl that looked like a cross between her and 257. "Now, pay up, or I
spread this to Tsubame, saying that you cheated on her and had sex with me." With that, Kamome
pocketed the picture again, waiting for Takashi's response.

'Uh... I don't know, she looks more like a cross between you and her!' With that, Takashi pointed at 257, who looked up, confused. Kamome backed off. 'Wha... how can this...' Takashi took advantage of his opportunity and tossed a few nanotech pins to the ground, with homonculii beginning to grow out of them upon hitting it. 'Homonculus! Get her! Bring me that picture!'
