IS Infinite Build
Construct 37: A Mother Knows.
Sento: Kamen Rider Build, the brilliant physicist Kiryu Sento, has gone to Hokuto to seek out Katsuragi Takumi's mother. There, he learns that Faust was actually founded by Katsuragi.
Ichika: Katsuragi was a true genius. Unlike somebody I know…
Sento: You don't know squat. Nobody wants to hear about the Schwarzschild radius and thermal ventos on a Saturday/Sunday morning. I'm just playing it down for others convenience.
Ichika: Is that so? Then how did you make the 4-Koma Ninpo Sword?
Sento: Well, first I bladdat, then phwhee, and then, wham!
Ichika: That's not science! That just onomatopoeia!
Sento: Well excuse me! Geniuses have trouble putting things in layman's terms for the public. Okay!? What'll happen on Construct 37?!

We are observer
Within one of the underground labs of Faust, Gentoku stomps in and over towards Stalk who's sitting with his legs on the railing. How can he be so calm about this?! Gentoku things as he walks over. As Gentoku walks up Stalk turns his head towards Gentoku. Stalk gestures hello. "Hey. How'd the meeting go? Heh, I know that look. Not all that well huh?" Stalk notes.
Gen: Why did you cause that mess in Hokuto?!
Stalk:(gestures: calm down) Calm down, man… This might help us find what we're looking for.
Gen: Are you sure? I am not willing to gamble on account of you're "Plans."
Stalk:(stands up) Please. With it in our hands, the military applications of the Rider system will evolve even further.
We are Sento
We finish explaining the situation to Katsuragi-san. "I understand now. How you might be innocent…(looks to Sento) And how you've lost your memories, but may be the one who killed my son." Katsuragi-san then turns to Charles. "But I don't understand, why you are here. Why?" Charles moves in his seat uncomfortable. I give a bow.
Sento: That's because of me. He got caught up in this whole mess, I don't want to leave him in fear of what happened to the two of us. Happening to him.
Katsuragi:(nods) I see…(turns to Charles) It must be difficult being in this kind of situation.
Charles: No!(looks away) It's fine… I'm… Used to it…
Sento:(looks at Charles) B-Back on topic. Sorry.(looks to Katsuragi) What kind of person was he?
Katsuragi: ….That Boy…. He loved and resented science at the same time. He originally became a scientist because of his father's influence… Takumi loved his father… He also idolized him as a scientist. His father was the one in charge of the Pandora's Box, once it arrived on Earth.
Sento: Right. Katsuragi Shinobu… The man who gave the speech at the event that day.
Katsuragi: Yes… And Takumi was at the ceremony celebrating the return from Mars… Since Pandora's Box was what caused it all… My husband was viciously criticized over the incident, by all sides… It was too much for him… He eventually… Took his own life.(tears being to flow) I'm sorry… Remembering it is difficult.
Ichika:(looks at Katsuragi) You don't have to push yourself.
Katsuragi:(wipes tears) I know… But this must be said. Takumi… He chose to become a scientist, as if he wanted to make up for his father's regrets.
Sento: But then, after he was released from the lab, then later he must've founded Faust.
Katsuragi: He had a tendency to lose sight of his surroundings when he was focused. Someone might have been using him.(sighs) I'm sorry… I know he was behind the creation of things that hurt many people...
Sento: I wonder if your son had his doubts… The reason we're here… We think he may have left some of his research data to you. It might lead to some understanding of why he was murdered… And even… who the real killer truly is.
A silence begins, only to be cut when the sounds to two stomachs rumbling, breaks the silence. I look to Ichika and Charles. Ichika hitting his stomach to shut up, and Charles sitting in slight embarrassment. A small chuckle from Katsuragi-san. "Are you hungry?" I let out a disappointed sigh.
Sento:(shrugs) I suppose there's no going around this. So much has happened today, I suppose these two didn't have much food.
Katsuragi: Ah. Hold on. I'll get you something to have.
Ichika and Charles: Thank you.
Katsuragi leaves the room, and heads towards what I think is the kitchen. A few minutes later, she returns holding two plates of egg rolls. Uhh… Is it just me, or do these look delicious? "This is all I have, so I hope this is alright." Katsuragi places down plates for us to eat on along with some chopsticks. Looking at the egg roll I remembered what the kids told us earlier that day. Ichika grabs his chopsticks and takes the whole plate. "Ah! Hey!" Charles exclaims as Ichika takes one of the egg roles and eats it, after a few seconds of eating he puts his fist to his mouth.
Ichika: Too sweet! These are like, way too sweet. If you're going to make them this sweet, why not make custard or something!
Sento:(takes plate away) Do you understand the concept of sensitivity?(looks to Katsuragi) Thank you for the food.
Charles:(bows) Thank you for the food.(takes egg roll)
"Please enjoy." Charles and I take some and put it on our plates. I take one and have it… Yum! "Delicious! These are really good!" Charles shrugs in unsurity. "You don't have to pretend." Katsuragi-san says. "No… They're really great." Why are they so… Familiar? So tasty… Why?
Ichika: What are you crying for? Your freaking me out.
Charles:(chuckles) Guess this is another thing to add to the list of things Sensei does.
Ichika:(sighs) You're telling me.
Sento:(annoyed) Oh shut it you two.
Katsuragi: Takumi visited me a week before he died. He gave me a flash drive, containing his research data. He told me in the right hands it could be used for good or evil.
"Where's that data now?!" I ask. "I put it in Touto. I hid it somewhere before moving." Good thinking. Probably for the best. "Where is it hidden in Touto?" I ask.
Katsuragi: I'll retrieve it personally. And then, I'll decide whether to give it to you or not. But till then.(stands up) Get some rest. The three of you looked to have a long day.
After that we're given guest rooms and we rest up. During the night, I go out to rest that's when I notice Charles sitting on the porch looking out into the sky. Charles? The sound of footsteps come over to Charles. It's Katsuragi-san. "You've been looking at that mansion for quite some time. Is there something about you're familiar with?" Katsuragi-san asks placing down a cup of hot tea.
Charles: Oh… Just reminds me of home is all… My real home.
Katsuragi: You're real Home? Are you feeling home sick?
Charles:(looks down) I guess…
I pull up the information I have collected so far on him. Or rather Her. Charles Dunois does not exist. Charlotte Dunois on the other hand does. "I guess… I guess this whole trip reminds me of home… and my mother." Charlotte notes clenching something on her wrist. "Are you… Unable to call her?" Katsuragi asks. Charlotte goes silent embracing the item on her wrist.
Katsuragi:(nods) Ah… I see now. You're lonely because you're mother is gone… am I right?
Charlotte:(tearing up.) I guess you would know… Losing your son and all that.
Katsuragi:(nods) Losing Takumi is hard. But by your reaction… You're pain goes deeper than just the loss of your mother… It's the rest of your family isn't it.(Charlotte looks at Katsuragi) Believe me when I say that it's a mother's intuition.
Charlotte:(clenches chest) I...I want. I don't want to go back. I...I just.
"Let it out. Let it out." Katsuragi-san says as Charlotte at first reluctant, embraces her. Crying into her chest… Charlotte Dunois. Why is humanity so flawed? I can't help just stand there being part of it all. As her crying continues into the night.
The next morning
As we wait for Katsuragi-san to pull up in her car, I think back to what I heard from yesterday. After yesterday she seems distant. "Are you all ready?" I ask looking back to see Charles fixing his uniform, still fiddling around uncomfortably. I look to Ichika with his wig and red nose. "Why… Just why?" Well… I guess even if we don't get the data, I at least have these photos to spread- No on second thought, I should delete them now before people get the wrong idea. Pulling up in her car, Katsuragi san exits her car and goes to the trunk opening it.
Katsuragi:(gestures to trunk) Banjou-san, Kiryu-san, Dunio's-san I'm sorry but... In order to get past gate to Touto you need to stay hidden… So.
Ichika and Charles:(in unison) Are you kidding me?
Sento:(sighs) Just get in here you two.(getting in)
"This is going to be a tight fit!" Ichika exclaims as the two climb it. And sure enough the area is too small for three people to be inside, we manage only due to Ichika and Charles laying on top of me. Which mind you isnt making this situation any more comfortable. The car starts up and we begin to move towards Touto. The ride is silent, the only thing illuminating in the dark back is the light of my HUD. "*Burrp!* Agh… Sorry." I say within breaking the silence.
Ichika:(closes nose) Ugh… You breath is way too sweet! You ate way too many of those egg rolls yesterday.
Sento:(shrugs) Oh don't complain. You two are the one's lying down on me.
Thus the ride to Touto continue in extreme discomfort.
