"Uh, what're you-?"

"It's a checkup, don't worry."

"Don't touch him. Gohan, you're to stay in this room and not go anywhere without me, alright? What you've just taken in is dangerous, and infectious and sentient and why are you radiating energy."

"That's, ehehe, kind of a long-"

Outside (Number 108, "Aichi")

-...-

-...-

-...-

"'Adopt...'"

-He read what the word means. It means to take one's child as your own.-

-...Why would Sthesia want to adopt him...?-

-He's perplexed. Definitely perplexed.-

"...I do not understand."

-You can actually hear the confusion from him, too! Not much, but it's still rather noticeable.-

Outside (next to the Extreme Gundam)

(For those of you not in the know...)

Yeah, I have to agree with Aichi, here. I doubt anyone is going to allow that...

Leos, we're the only ones who can give this Aichi a proper home.

But what about Misaki's Aichi?

Outside (Number 108, "Aichi")

-108 simply continues having that blank expression, as usual.-

-He does not know Misaki, and he hasn't met any of the other Aichis (although he knows they exist).-

"You have seen another 'Aichi'."

-...Thank you, Captain Obvious.-

-However, upon thinking of the idea of adoption...-

-...108 thinks of another word he learned the definition of from his dictionary... 'Family'.-

-In light of the words 'children' and 'brothers' being somewhat more understood, he comes to the conclusion that to adopt him would mean for them to be a family.-

"Would adopting me make us a family?"

-...He doesn't have a family. All he's ever had were his superiors, his handler, and the facility...-

"I do not have a family."

-...Well, you heard it here, folks. 108 does not have a family.-

"I have not met the other 'Aichis' or Misaki."

-He looks over at Sthesia.-

"No."

-...-

"I was created to obtain information for my superiors, and to complete the missions assigned to me."

-...That's all.-

-...Xenos said that he is being little more than a tool by following what they said, and not thinking for himself...-

"...I am a 'tool'..."

-...-

-...He... actually seems a bit upset about that. 108 is starting to be more expressive, slowly, but surely...-

-...And Leos... did he just say he was created?!-

(Leos and Sthesia look at each other briefly.)

You were "created?" What does that mean?

I think it means his superiors just decided to create their own... soldier. (Oh, no, she's getting emotional.) ...Come here, you poor boy!

(She's giving you a hug, 108!)

Outside (Number 108, "Aichi")

-Blink, blink.-

-Sthesia is hugging him?-

"...You are hugging me. This means you like me."

-...No wonder the poor boy's a wreck. He was designed to be this way.-

-He was specifically created and raised in a way that makes him unable to express himself, very compliant, and unaware of things normal humans beings know.-

-He needs someone to teach him these things.-

-He does return the hug.-

"Thank you."

-...He's thanking you for a hug? Or is he thanking you for liking him?-

-On the bright side, that 'thank you' sounds like the most human thing he's said so far. There's something in his tone there that wasn't there for the rest of everything you've heard from him.-

-A couple of moments had a hint of emotion (speaking of himself as a tool and how that upset him, for instance), but the 'thank you' really lets you know that he truly understands gratitude.-

-So... there is hope for him, guys.-

-Are you going to be the ones to help this boy become not just a tool, but a true human being?-

(Sthesia is hugging you tightly, kiddo.) You're welcome, Aichi.

(Leos, observing the hug, sighs) Why do I get the feeling Keith's not going to like this?

(Well, they're gonna try, at least.)

Outside (Number 108, "Aichi")

-108 just keeps hugging.-

-He also attempts to smile. A little more life to it this time, but it's still very empty.-

-...? Leos sighed, although 108 is not exactly sure what it means.-

-...And who is 'Keith'?-

-His smile disappears, giving way to the blank one again, as he asks this.-

"Is Keith your superior?

-...If Keith is a superior and won't be happy with this...-

"...Will you suffer consequences for my presence?"

-Might just sound a little worried there... After all, the idea of termination was brought up to him by Anna's sisters.-

-For all he knows, Leos and Sthesia could get terminated because of him.-

-And the idea of termination still makes him feel less... good.-

What? No, Keith is just a colleague of mine. He's not gonna get us in trouble because of you. ...Right, Sthesia?

(Patting 108's head while still hugging him) Mmhmm.

-So they won't be terminated because of 108...-

-...Good.-

"Understood."

-His sort of kind of worried expression shifts back to a more blank one since he's no longer concerned about that.-

-He's still hugging Sthesia.-

-...Although the patting of his head still confuses him.-

"...Why are you doing that to my head?"

-...You guys have a long road ahead of you.-

-It's not that he doesn't like it...-

"I like you doing that to my head."

-...OK, that's one thing you guys know. Apparently he does like that...?-

-...Kid probably never had much physical contact before learning the magic of hugs... So he's probably desperate from some physical contact on some level.-

-The problem is...-

"I do not understand why you are doing it."

Outside (Number 108, "Aichi")

-Just so you guys know, this is unlike anything anyone has ever told him in his entire life.-

-The definitions of 'cute' and 'love' all end up leading to 'affection', which means 'a gentle feeling of fondness or liking.'-

-So...-

"I am worthy of being liked?"

-You can probably hear a hint of a childlike curiosity in his voice.-

-He really is like a normal child in a way, isn't he? Open to learning things from other people, getting used to the world around him, experiencing things that he's never experienced before...-

-...And now he has Leos and Sthesia as parental substitutes that he DEFINITELY needed!-

-The idea of being liked is so foreign to him that he can't help but wonder about it.-

-He's not used to people liking him. Apparently Anna's sisters and Sthesia like him (he only knows this because of hugs and/or they told him so), but that's all he knows for certain.-

-His handler was the nicest person to him, and even he tended to be rather distant a fair amount of the time. Mostly likely trying to avoid getting too close (although he seems to have failed somewhere along the way, as evidenced by that one day and Blaster Blade)...-

-So it's not like 108 ever knew if his handler liked him or not...-

-But still... the idea of being liked is completely foreign to the kid. He had only ever really known the word 'like' as 'I'm glad I have this' or 'this food tastes somewhat better than that food'.-

-It's not like people were ever something that he was aware you could like.-

-It wasn't until he appeared in the Room that he learned the magical art of 'hugging'. Something you're supposed to do to people and things you like.-

-...And meeting people that were teaching him things, helping him, doing things he agreed with, and some of them even wanted to protect him... well, he liked them because of that.-

-He's thankful that people apparently like him.-

-He likes them as much as he can like as he is.-

Outside (Number 108, "Aichi")

-...He has no idea what he thought. At all.-

-The idea of being liked is just so surreal. It's not that he really ever thought they wouldn't like him. It was a matter of the fact that it sort of didn't dawn on him that he has done anything to be liked.-

"...I am not used to being liked. I only received hugs after appearing in this place, and you do that when you like someone or something."

-...Guys, he seriously seems to solely associating hugs with liking people or things. Poor kid needs to be alerted to the fact that hugs are not the only thing to show that you like someone or something...-

"I am happy that you like me."

-He learned what happy means because of the dictionary, and he understands it! However, it's still not clear in the slightest that he's happy with that tone and the expression.-

-...OK, he's trying to smile a little to go along with that, but once again it's a small and hollow smile.-

-He's trying, at least! He doesn't quite get it, but he's trying!-
