Kaoru Shibata: pacing Damn, we gotta fix this switch, man. It's like I'm stuck in a weird-ass VHS tape.
leaning against a wall Haha, have you tried flipping the channel? Next time that person comes over to our place? Maybe it will somehow magically switch back?
Yeah, I've tried that, man. Didn't work. I mean, it's like we're stuck in some twisted version of "The Twilight Zone."
Well, I don't watch that show, but I get the gist of it. Do you think there's really a way to switch back?
Look, I've been doing some research, and there might be a way to switch back. We just need to find the right person with the right knowledge.
You're the only one I know who can play video games as well as you do, Kaoru. What are we gonna do? Go to some gaming convention and ask for help there?
Nah, man, we ain't gonna find any answers at a gaming convention. We gotta think outside the box, go off the grid, you know what I mean?
laughs Well, shoot, Kaoru! You're full of surprises, aren't ya? Alright, so no gaming convention. Where then?
Look, I've been thinking about this, and there's someone who might be able to help us. My old buddy, Hiroshi, he's a genius when it comes to technology and stuff like that.
Hiroshi? As in your old hacker friend from back in the day? Damn, Kaoru, you do have the weirdest luck sometimes. Alright, Hiroshi it is then.
Yeah, Hiroshi is the one who can help us switch back. He's got all kinds of tech tricks up his sleeve.
smirks Hiroshi, huh? That name brings back some memories. Alright, let's pay him a visit then.
Look, let's not waste any more time. We gotta find Hiroshi and get this body switch reversed. But we gotta be careful, man.
chuckles Careful, huh? You're full of surprises, Kaoru. Alright, let's get going then.
Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna head to Hiroshi's old hangout spot, the abandoned warehouse downtown.
snorts An abandoned warehouse? Man, we going from bad to worse. But if anyone can fix this mess, it's Hiroshi. Let's hit the road then.
pulls out a map and starts marking the route Alright, we need to get to that warehouse without being seen.
chuckles Sneaking around like criminals, huh? You used to love the spotlight, Kaoru. This is some next-level stuff right here.
Yeah, well, times change, man. We gotta adapt if we wanna survive this body switch crap. Now, keep your head low and follow my lead.
laughs nervously Alright, alright. Lead the way, Hiroshi Hiroshi.
whispering Alright, we're almost there. Stay close and keep your eyes peeled. We don't want anyone to notice us.
nods Got it, boss. Low profile, low profile. This is some next-level espionage shit, Kaoru. Who knew you had this in you?
smirking Well, you know me, always full of surprises. Now, let's sneak past this security guard and get inside.
whistles Holy crap, look at him. He's got more tattoos than my grandma's sweater collection. Let's roll, Kaoru.
hisses Keep it down, Klaussi. We don't want him to hear us and ruin the whole plan.
snickers Sorry, sorry. Your face looks like a tomato though, does it ever stop being so red, Kaoru?
whispers Oh, shut up, Klaussi. You know I hate the cold. Now, let's move before he notices us.
grinning Yes ma'am, let's make like a ninja and move silently like a shadow.
sighs Yeah, well, we'll soon find out if this plan works or if we're just in for a wild goose chase.
laughs Wild goose chase? That sounds about right, Kaoru. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
pulls out a small device from their pocket This is a tracking device. We need to place it on Hiroshi's bike so we can find him later.
raises an eyebrow Sneaky. Got it, Kaoru. Let's get this baby on Hiroshi's bike then.
grinning mischievously Alright, Klaussi, watch closely. This is where the magic happens.
laughs Magic, huh? You always had a way with words, Kaoru. Alright, show me this trick of yours.
quickly attaches the tracking device to Hiroshi's bike There we go. Now, we just need to find a safe place to hide, somewhere close by.
chuckles Hiding already? You're full of surprises, Kaoru. Alright, lead the way. And remember, keep your enemies closer...
rolls their eyes Yeah, yeah, keep your enemies closer. I've heard that one before, Klaussi.
