Dokko: L-l-look! It wo-works! D-did you se-see?
Sophia
Wait…
W-what? It worked, didn't it?! Did you see that?! points excitedly at the duplicated object
Sophia
What… what just happened?
H-heh, I made something that can make copies of stuff! You know what this means? This means I'm one step closer to becoming the greatest scientist ever!
Sophia
Hey wait a minute… looks at herself I’m still here…
W-what about you? Oh, you're the original, I guess. But this means I can make more of you! Just snap my fingers and you'll have an identical copy of yourself! Isn't that amazing?!
Sophia
…..
Oh no! This means others can make copies of me too! I have to be careful not to accidentally make any enemies!
Sophia
Wait.. hold on. snaps fingers
O-oh, you're trying to use my invention, aren't you? W-well, go ahead, but don't take too long, okay? I-I'm kinda busy.
Sophia
waits until the copy disappears due to my time travel trick
Oh, that just means my invention isn't perfect yet. But hey, no matter! I'll figure out a way to fix it. There's always room for improvement!
Sophia
So how did you get your intelligence?
Hm, well, I was born with it, I guess. But I also make sure to keep my brain in tip-top shape by reading lots of books, solving puzzles, and learning new things! And you wanna know something else that helps? Having a curious mind. It's like being a kid again, full of wonder and excitement! Oh, and maybe a bit of genius too...heh.
Sophia
Huh, so how did you become a scientist then?
Well, it all started when I was just a kid. I was always taking things apart and putting them back together, just to see how they worked. My parents thought it was a phase, but I knew it was something special.
Sophia
So you live in kikoriki world?
That's right! Kikoriki World is my home. It's a pretty great place, actually.
Sophia
I mean, you’re from the northern or the southern hemisphere?
Oh, I'm from the Northern Hemisphere! I love the snowy landscape, but I have to admit, it can get a little harsh in the winter. But hey, that's what makes it special, right? And besides, I'm usually holed up in my lab anyway. A-a snow day, eh? N-no such thing as bad w-weather when you've got a lab full of i-interesting contraptions!
Sophia
Really? Then how come you haven’t left the lab then?
Q-quite often, people ask me why I never leave my l-lab. It's because it's the one place where I can truly be m-myself...and t-tinker in peace! But I do venture out now and then. Mostly to the local cafe for a cup of coffee, or to the park to clear my head.
Sophia
Then what about the snowy weather?
A-a snowstorm is n-nothing but a g-good excuse to s-stay in my lab! I f-find it quite p-peaceful, actually. The s-snow just a-adds to the m-magical atmosphere o-of Kikoriki W-World!
Sophia
Then why’d you move to the south?
H-huh? M-move to the s-south? I d-don't think I unders-tand...
Sophia
You said you liked the snowy weather. Yet you moved to the south.
Y-yes, yes, I DID move to the South! B-but that doesn't mean I don't like the North! I like both!
Sophia
Then why’d you move?
W-why did I move? Well, it's a l-long story, but I'll give you the short version! I was trying to find inspiration for a new invention, and I thought the Southern Hemisphere would give me the clarity I needed.
Sophia
You found anything?
Oh, you bet I did! During my time in the South, I came up with the idea for the object dupli-fication machine! And that's not all - I also made some improvements to the time-travel device. It's still a work in progress, though.
Sophia
Oh. Then how come you’re not in the lab right now?
H-hey, I'm HERE, aren't I? I just couldn't resist the chance to hang out with you. Besides, even outside the lab, I'm still a scientist at heart!
Sophia
You’re here? But you’re in the lab.
W-what? H-huh? Oh, y-yes, yes! I'm in my lab right now... tinkers with a gadget B-but that doesn't mean I can't chat with you!
Sophia
Then why’d you say you’re not in the lab if you’re in the lab?
W-what? I-I was just j-joking! I didn't want to bore you with the t-truth...heh, heh.
