[The feed flickers on with a wobbly view of a single eye and a thick eyebrow. It wobbles.]

Oh! Ohh!! It's on! I think!!

[The image pulls out to focus more generally on Nitoh's face. He holds his device out at arm's length as he walks up a back staircase in some nondescript building]

Hey! I'm Nitoh, Kousuke Nitoh. I'm looking for my RIVAL, Haruto Sohma, Kamen Rider Wizard. And also PHANTOMS. I'm sure he's hiding some somewhere around here. They told me there are no Phantoms here, but that's gotta be a trick or something. BECAUSE! There's no way I could be here AND he could be here without there being any PHANTOMS here!!!

[He treks up and pushes open the door up to the roof, and for a moment the video feed whites out, until it adjusts to the light and it shows him silhouetted and the scattered rooftops below him. It bounces up and down as he paces.]

Okay, stop don't say it, I know what you want to know. How do I know my rival's even here? WELL! I asked about him and they said he'd been here for a while! So Haruto! Don't try to hide from me! I'm sending my little gryphon out to find you!

[He sets the camera down, still pointing at him, as he activates his driver belt and a little self-assembling model appears in mid-air in front of him: a green somewhat robotic-looking gryphon. He pulls off the ring he is wearing and sets it inside, then looks at the camera significantly.]

SEE! I'll find you if I have to search every donut shop in the city!!

[Gryphon flies off and he waves his forefingers at it as it leaves, smiling fondly. Then he looks back.]

And then you can show me where you're keeping all the Phantoms in this city! You gotta share, you KNOW why!

[At the last, he focuses strongly on the camera, pointing accusingly at it. Then he waves, back to a winning grin.]

Later!!!

[The feed switches off]

and YOU, if you don't even know me, what makes you think you know I'm an idiot. I'm pretty sure Gryphon is like INCHES away from figuring out where you are, so I wouldn't mouth off too hard!

I think I've got a pretty good idea already.

UGH, I didn't miss this side of you at all! I guess I gotta teach you how to respect me all over again, huh?

I don't think I like the sound of that at all.

Yeah you know I don't think you liked it that much to begin with, but you got used to it!

...now you have to tell me what I missed.

Man, I dunno, there's a lot of it! We fought a lot of Phantoms, I ate some of 'em. There was that thing with Medusa's sister and that White Wizard dude, and what else... Uhh, oh I got a cool gun just now! And a cool ring to upgrade with.

Which is great cos you have all those upgrades and that spinny timer thing and I got nothin', plus you can use my rings and I can't use yours so maybe we're a little more even now.

Medusa's sister? The White Wizard?!

Spinny... timer? This is the most confusing story I've ever been told.

Yeah that's cos you're supposed to already know it!

I dunno, it's this thing it yells DRAGOTIME and then all of a sudden there's four of you and you're all different powered-up forms, it's super cheap. Also one time you merged into one and you had a dragon head stickin out of your chest and it looked weird.

As far as Medusa's sister goes, I guess she's going off to wizard school with the White Wizard or something. She was a Gate too, but she beat down her phantom like you did.

Man this is dumb, why can't you just know all this stuff already. What if I'm screwin' something up by telling you?!

Well, I'm sorry for not being your Haruto, then.

...sounds like a mana drain. Might be nice to have anyway.

Another wizard. Great.

My understanding is that people who leave don't have their memories when they arrive back home. So don't worry about it.

Whatever, you're still my Haruto. You're just my Haruto EARLIER. Or something. I just don't always pay attention to what you're doin' all the time, you know.

And yeah I think it is, but it's super badass and I'm jealous which probably makes up for it to you. Ya jerk.

You were not too excited about it at the time either, but it's her business not yours. She was all I made this choice to protect more people from dying like my sister or whatever. She was super cute... I mean, you know she and Medusa were twins or whatever but she was cuter I think. Maybe it's all the not-evil she's got going on.

Well that's a weight off my mind. Oh I should tell you me and Rinko have been dating. So you should prepare for that, y'know, somewhere in your mind.

But don't go back home, cos what's gonna happen to me if you do?! I'll be so lonely.

Rinko would never date a guy like you.

:/ Aw come on!

OK that was a lie but I seriously think she's got a thing for me.

Riiiiiight. I'm sure you're right.
