2: It was named Monroe at the Yutaka Factory.
3: Strangely enough...
4: for some reason, it was temporarily lost...but we tracked it down...

2: including its final part, the main arm, which was at a port in Niigata, and
reassembled it.
3: clang
4: creak
5: It's as good as new now...
6: But as you can see, it possesses no intelligence.
7: Yet...
8: all the people who encountered it...
9: say they met a child named Shingo...
10: Was it just a hallucination?
11: It did have a sort of black box...
12: But really...just what was Shingo...?

2: that at the end of our search, for some reason...we came to feel that there really
was someone called Shingo...out there, somewhere...
