I didn't actually know Shiro was going to be there. After I got the boot, I ...uh... kind of got lost in conspiracy theories. It was like some weird energy was calling me. I started looking up legends about a Blue lion and somehow that led me to a prophecy about something or someone coming to Earth the same day Shiro returned.

[He can already hear the "that's weird" in response, so he shrugs.]
