[This was the first time Ken had heard Japan laugh. He didn't hear it at first since the old country was quiet about it, but he loved the sound.

It was a this point that Ken knew he couldn't do it. This wasn't a mission, Japan was not some evil sadist bent on destruction. He wasn't even a secret evil sadist bent on destruction but presented as normal.

Ken would just have to find another way to protect his friends from the town's evil.]
