[Beside him, Matoba's chest shudders... then his shoulders... Soon enough, it's taking his entire being not to burst out laughing in the middle of the theater, imagining the sour face that Natori would make if he'd heard that.]
[It wasn't cute- it was a vile and mysterious thing, a bringer or portent of disaster at worst, and the cause of lifelong anxiety at best- but the uninitiated point of view Tama brought to the table amused Matoba, and that was worth it.]
[The lizard shows up inconsistently in scenes- at times it reveals the cute between takes, vanishing from one angle while reappearing in the next. It could be distracting, if you allowed it to be, but Matoba isn't really that invested in the story. He munches down the rest of his candy, bored when Natori isn't on screen, and after the big dramatic reveal of the deceased killer comes out, the movie wraps itself into a nice bow with the main couple marrying happily ever after, and detective Akeboshi able to stroll off to his next case (to the adoring tune of everyone around him).]
[As the credits start to roll, Matoba hums thoughtfully, watching Natori's name scroll by, and then glances back towards Tama.]
That's that... I wonder if they will make another? [They're going to make another. Natori already signed on for it.]
