(The Homunculus watches the dream of the man whom he still regards as a puppet-master. Therefore, he is completely bewildered that the dream contains failure. Seeing a weakness revealed by the dream prompts him to inquire about it--at the moment, he speaks with a certain respect to the thief, to another one that he counts on killing him. At this point, he has not yet dreamed of weakness, these emotions that will plant the seed that will prompt him to eventually seek the death of his soul with far greater frequency than the death of his body.)
In the end, it was that woman that opened the door. Is there someone who rivals you in your thievery?
(There is the matter of the pressing crowd, but he leaves that aside for now.)
[It is with a measure of curiosity that Goemon settles down to view this dream of Lupin's at dawn, prepared to blush and flusteredly skim through any sexual imagery. But he is surprised where there seems to be nothing of the sort. He misses (or willfully ignores?) what slight sexual undertones others may perceive, focusing instead on a different sort of tension present throughout the broadcast. To the ronin, this dream seems like it could very well be a reflection of Lupin's restlessness to steal coupled with an uncharacteristic self-doubt (?) that came with the limitations imposed on him by this bizarre, foreign world.
Absorbing everything, Goemon realized that he had been unreasonable to expect Lupin to adjust so soon, even in spite of his cunning intelligence and improvisational capabilities (when he put his mind to it, at least). And with this thought resonating in his mind, he then 'leaves' without waking Lupin.]

Is that so? Then why did you not open the door?
