First Drive - [Video]

[So in addition to wandering around trying to figure out what the hell is going on, Ryu eventually finds someplace to post]

My name is Terui Ryu.

What the hell is going on here?

[Yes, he's a lot more blunt that the other Kamen Riders you've had here.]

[Ryu just sort of stares for a moment, before bowing his head poorly covering a half-hearted smile. It's exceedingly brief before he looks back up, nodding.]

Of course. You're absolutely right.

Good to see that, if anything, your resolve hasn't changed any. It's ... reassuring.

[Don't worry Shoutarou, he's not going to fluff your ego too much - but is doing so more than usual simply on account of the fact that it's one of the things keeping him from losing his damned mind at the moment.]

[Hey, if it keeps them both grounded, all the better. That partial confidence from before is bolstered a bit by Terui's reaction.]

It's definitely been put to the test here, though - so it's not gonna be easy.

[Now we rejoin our regularly scheduled Ryu stoic-face.]

It never is easy, is it?

So that's not even important.

All that is important is what we need to do.

[Now we're back in business.]

And this time, it'll be done right. The next time I go back to Fuuto, I'm going back to the normal one.
