She is holding a three-foot long shark in her hand. She comes in and offers the shark to Momoko. Momoko refuses, saying she doesn't like a dead shark. Amuro says the shark is still alive. It then springs to life in Amuro's hand and tries to bite Momoko, but ends up tearing Momoko's bikini top off. |
