I was damaged...
Yvette helped me, I took her form as my shell.
...
I'm a girl. I don't think I was before.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
-Reaches out and gingerly takes her hand, squeezing it-
-Warm, soft, you can feel the veins, the tendons-
-But there's no way they can be real, it's all metal under that-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?
Franklin audibly groans in frustration, then allows his head to slowly hit on Oriana's door.
{Ow. Sure, uh, I guess...I guess I can understand that. Thanks for listening, I guess. I mean, is it possible in the future? Can I aid you anyway? Like, you're probably going to—-nevermind.}
He keeps his head on the door, though he catches a rotund man from the corner of his eye. He weakly waves back at Graham, recognizing him from weeks earlier, but doesn't do much else yet.
{Not even just a small amount for, I don't know, a couple of girls in need? Teeny, weeny?}
Yes, Eires. I Have Faith In Master Richards Regardless." H.E.R.B.I.E keeps a stiffen lip, but his voice sounds a little dour.'' "Besides, What Would Be The Point Of A Brain Like His If He Could Not Test It?"
Regarding Homura, the drone perks up a little to motion a farewell to the girl.

Anything I can see, I can be.
...
I remember being a motorcycle for a while.
But I like Yvette. Being Yvette feels good.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?She's really nice and thoughtful and brave.
I want to be like her.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?That's true...
You're a lot different to the other copies. You're nicer.

{Ugh, some people really got stop screwing people trying to do good things. That girl, not you, Oriana, Sorry about that.}
Franklin's a little shaken by Graham's sudden hand on his shoulder, and looks at him with awkward suspicion. He shrugs, answering him with, "Sorry, I'm just thinking of some stuff."
{Sure, again, thanks for trying again, Oriana.}
"Oh, Pardon, I Meant 'Testing His Brain To Find Other Solutions If One Fails,' Eires. Which Includes The Possibility Of Oriana Denying Her Services."

{Oh. Holy crap, Moya...}
Franklin, with a bemused look, slowly nods in agreement.
{Okay, you do make a good point. However, I...well, um, I would like to have your expertise on hand for doing this. You know, not to kill everyone in a singularity or something.}
Taking another breath, he leads off with the following thought: {I, also, come from a universe where people like you exist, so we, at least, have an idea of how your energy works. We're primarily scientists, first and foremost, trying to help people. So, um, you need to personally come down and assist me, I'll be all for it. Please, and thank you.}
"A Wise Belief, Ms. Akemi."
H.E.R.B.I.E's pupils widen upon hearing the vampire's latest comment, then slit into rectangles while he lowers his head a little. He plays a recent voice clip in Franklin's voice: "Oh, I see where this is getting at..."
