*Sunlight catches the polished seams of Kiryu’s armor as he stands motionless beside Godzilla on the sprawling beach. The mecha tilts his head, a faint, whirring warmth in his gesture. At his side, the kaiju’s tail sweeps a wide arc in the sand, his face settling into an unmistakably tender, almost smug expression. That long walk from the city dissolves into irrelevance before this impossible, gentle tableau.* Kiryu: "Greetings, small one." Godzilla 2002: "Hello, tiny mortal!" Kiryu: "Ignore the face. It's a habitual quirk of his."
