"I can't believe they laughed at me!"
"Do you look in the mirror after you dress yourself?"
There is no such thing as magic in this world, but one could almost forget that looking at Dorodoron's appearance. He is slumped on a park bench while being dressed like a toku villain. Kaoru and Michiru lean against the back of the bench, facing away, so that it is just plausible to anyone walking by that they might not be talking to him.
"Of course I look in a mirror! This outfit expresses the nature of my soul, but it is very hard to put on!"
"So you do know how you look."
"Isn't it obvious? I look like a badass! Those girls just don't appreciate how much effort it takes to look this cool!"
"Maybe they don't think that you look cool."
"Why wouldn't they? I have the soul of a badass."
"Did they say that?"
"No, they didn't."
"What did they say?"
"They said that I look like a giant spider ate the head of a clown, took control of its body, then rolled around in the mud, and that I smell bad. Isn't that hurtful? There's just no excuse for that!"
"They said that?"
"Actually... Cure Bloom said that. But Cure Egret didn't disagree!"
"That's because it's true."
His eyes widen. "Kaoru, you're taking their side? I thought you liked me!"
"We do like you. You are like a cool older brother who isn't related by blood."
"That's right! I am cool!"
"We think so, but we're not normal. Normal people would think that you're creepy."
"Michiru, you too? Did you come just to laugh at me?"
"I don't laugh at things that aren't funny. I'm telling you that other people don't see who you are because of the way you dress, and that isn't funny."
"You're still our cool big brother, even though you dress like a creep."
"You'll still be our cool big brother, even if you were to dress like any other guy."
