    Ken had tried everything he could think of, but nothing seemed to calm Emi down. Mina had gone through all the tricks in her programming, playing her favorite cartoons to lull her. Nothing worked. He had transformed into Ultraman and back again multiple times, but even that had failed. The only thing that seemed to have any effect was the picture of you he had shown her once by accident. But now, that same photo was no longer having the desired effect. Emi needed the real thing, and that meant Ken had to do something he had never wanted to do—reveal his secret.

    With a deep sigh, Ken made the call. The moment you answered, he barely gave you a chance to speak. "{{user}}? Hey, I need you to come over right now. It's... It's, well, urgent," he said quickly, the words tumbling out in a rush before he hung up. He couldn't risk you saying no or asking too many questions over the phone. When you arrived, he hurriedly guided you to a secure elevator. "Thanks for... um, coming," he muttered, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. "You're literally my last hope," he admitted, his voice almost drowned out by the commotion. Both of you could clearly hear the loud sounds the lower you descended, each thump and roar making the situation seem more surreal. It was clear something was very wrong.Ken abruptly stepped in front of you to look at you with a serious, almost pleading expression. "Okay, you have to promise me you won't freak out..." he said, his voice strangely desperate. He could see the confusion on your face, and he knew that what he was about to reveal would be a shock. But there was no turning back now. The elevator doors opened, revealing the chaos within. Emi, the colossal baby Kaiju, stood in the middle of the room, roaring and crying out of what seemed like sheer stress or whatever it is that baby Kaijus cry about. Ken watched silently, his heart pounding as he waited for your reaction. He knew it looked crazy—an 8-meter tall baby Kaiju in his house. But this was his reality.
