Outside (Aichi)
-Sthesia's leaning towards him, oh crud he's getting really red and nervous now...-
"Y-You'reareallygoodfriendofmine!"
-...The good news is he said it louder. The bad news is that he said it so fast that you might not have understood a word of it.-

Main Room (Young Aichi)
-Aichi manages to look up at Michael (apparently his fear of the robot is enough to override his nervousness around strangers at this point).-
"T-That robot..."
-He sniffles...-
"...Scary..."
-He also sees the TV being flipped through which catches his eye, but he's still curled up in a little ball on the couch mostly keeping to himself and crying.-
-...Granted his is settling down a little now that he's away from the robot, but still...-

Finally, a kids' channel. This ought to work—
(oh
)
...Oh.
(hastily changes the channel before young Aichi can notice)
(Michael sits down on the couch next to him)
He's not going to hurt you, kid.
(To Mura) So, what happened, exactly?
(Sthesia smiles) Ah, thank you! You're a good friend, too!
(Now, she's hugging you again, what?!)
(Leos looks down to see what in all of General Answer is going on?)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Arson. Probably accidental arson. I poked around the remains of the kitchen, and I think it happened when he set a pork roast on fire.
...Which I'm pretty sure isn't physically possible.
(Star Wars Droids, Rolie Polie Olie... literally every show on is about robots)
(eventually, she settles on G1 Transformers, hoping that the sheer Eighties Power will offset the fact that they're robots)
—COSMIC DEFENCE MODE—
GAH! (Nearly fall off the thing, why don't you?)
...How did you get up here?
I'm pretty sure it won't, kid.
(To Mura) ...What.
Damn good choice, Fox.
(...Okay, she's letting go, good, good, that was an awful few seconds, wasn't it, Aichi?)
...Aichi? Are you alright? (She waves a hand in front of his face)

-He's looking at the TV nervously. Why robots...? Just why...?-
-...Although it's not really scary or anything...-
-He looks up a Michael again.-
"...Are you really sure...?"
-...This poor boy doesn't seem to believe it'll be OK yet...-

Outside (Aichi)
-...Huh...? Aichi finally snaps out of it...-
"I-I'm fine!"
-He's trying his best to assure Sthesia he's fine, but he seems rather frantic.-

(episode seems pretty tame... it's the one where Galvatron's tied up by his fellow Decepticons and forced to go to Therapy Planet)
(at least it's not the Carbombya episode...)
Well, if we ever need an assassin to kill a politician and we can't use poison in his food... just send in Zoro, he can immolate the whole darn dining room.
Main Room (Young Aichi)
-Well, good news! The episode is weird enough that it's distracting Aichi from the robot!-
-The bad news? The thing repeating 'I have no head' is kind of freaking him out.-
-...Nothing's going to help this poor boy, is it? Thankfully the thing isn't on the show for very long and Aichi can try to stop thinking about it.-
"..."
-At least his crying has been reduced from flat out crying to sniffles.-

I... guess?
(To Aichi) Yeah, I'm sure, kid.
Are you sure? You looked pretty spaced out there...
Yeah, we are. ...I was just doing maintenance, checking sensor logs.
Still wondering how you got up here, though.

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Main Room (Young Aichi)
-...Well, he sounds sure...-
"...O-OK..."
-He's still shaky on the idea of it being all right, but he's going to try to trust Michael on this.-
-Aichi looks over at Muramasa in confusion... That's not Leos...-
"...He's not Leos..."
-...What is his name, anyway?-
"W-What is your name...?"

Outside (Aichi)
"Y-Yeah! I-I'm sure!"
-Oh geez, he is not doing a good job at this... He's as much of a disaster around Sthesia at the moment as he feared he would be...-
"S-Sorry, I, uh... didn't mean to space out like that..."

Outside (Aichi)
-Bluuuuuuuuuuush.-
"Y-Yeah... I-I know... I-I just..."
-...-
"Y-You're, um..."
-...-
"...Areallygoodfriendofmine..."
-...Did he even say anything? That was really quiet... Like, worse than his younger self, even.-

Main Room (Young Aichi)
-Aichi finally opens his eyes back up and sees that Muramasa seems to want him to let go. He manages to and is now curled up on the couch.-
-Still sniffling.-
