Satoru is in a car driving past a seafront.

A man who was driving him arrives to join Tsukasa and Hiroki at their apartment. Hiroki does not react well to what he is saying but is silenced by Tsukasa placing his hand over his mouth.

The person with glasses is treated to a scenario where gigantic footsteps into the enclosed room that he is in and he runs. There are multiple huge feet stepping all around with one about to tread on top of him.

He is screaming as Satoru holds him by his tie with others alarmed by his reaction to seemingly nothing. In his vision, his legs are pinned under one of the giant feet. Satoru enters from a nearby door in this environment and pulls him out from underneath the foot, which appears to separate the man from his legs below the knees.

Laughing at Dahao's reaction, Satomi explains that Inui cannot understand Chinese.

First meeting him, Satomi stated he had some glare and handed him his baseball bat before asking if he liked it.

In his mind these memories were placed on a memory pen held by a doll representation of Katsuragi's mother that was to be their secret. Katsuragi behaved normally until Satoru spoke the key word Mr. Matasa at which point Katsuragi entered a docile trusting state where he handed the physical memory pen over to Satoru as the visualization of his doll mother, a construct manipulated by Hayashi, advised him to do.

Locks (Concept)

## Locks

In a Locus (a special memory) this dog is a doorway to Tsukasa's Valley protecting his Peak. The Valley protecting his Peak is called a Lock.

### Type

A mind location

**Locks** in Pet are a mental construct, essentially a Valley that people use to hide and protect their Peaks.

## Background

Locks are a defensive mechanism, the idea was to create some Valleys around Peaks to scare people away, and such Valleys acted as Locks to keep intruders of of Peaks to avoid their memories from being altered.

To pets, not having a Lock means they can only have a Peak, so such pets can sync with crushers such as Ron, who do not use Images, where they can wield their pet's Image. In effect, the crusher could use their pet's Image to guide them through a target's memories where they could be manipulated. Furthermore Pets without Locks mean they can sync up to a target without having to touch them. The drawback is they are externally unresponsive. For the pet without any Locks the result would be a pet loyal to the Company, that does not bite the hand that feeds it, the basis for Babies.

Locks can also be too strong; for pets, this may mean that their Images move slower. Should a strong Lock attempt to be changed, it will result in one's Valleys becoming more dangerous.

## Examples

* Since Hiroki hates Valleys on account of their disturbing nature, he does not tend to use them so his Lock is pretty weak.
* Tsukasa's Lock is strong so his Peak is locked tight but when it came to altering memories the more his too strong Lock was forced open, the more his memories were measured up. The practical drawback as well was the Lock strength acted as a weight so his Image movements are slower compared to other Images. He hitched a ride on Hiroki's goldfish Image tail to travel to a memory, and Hayashi's Wind Image is much faster.
* Hayashi sees a too strong Lock as evidence that something valuable is hidden within the Peak. Seeing a dog nearby in the fish tank Locus, he guesses the dog is a part of Tsukasa's Valley, the one hiding his Peak. As a result Hayashi knows to look for the stronger Valleys as clues for which ones are guarding the Peak, thus knows how to access Tsukasa's Peak.

He is told it is a a pleasure to finally meet him, unaware that Katsuragi was signalling for his crushing to commence. Katsuragi translates what he is saying to Satoru and Hiroki as part of a continuing act that the ambassador is unaware of.

### Shengjie Chen

Whether he was aware of it or not he was an illegitimate child of this senior member of the Chen Group. He was targeted for crushing by the CEO of the Company since there was the possibility that he could file a claim to the Chen Group in the future.

## Peak

His Peak was a tropical island like area with many palm trees and a beach house nearby. There were large pots of water and a black cat, a reference to the ambassador's mother. It was formed when the man he suspected was his father confirmed he really was. They appear as large versions of themselves, towering over the trees.

Satoru commented that the ambassador's Peak could be crushed with a single word, so his and Hiroki's Peaks were much stronger, but the ambassadors was real having been formed out of his own memories, unlike the others whose Peaks are formed out of other people's memories.
