Yeah, I... I was there. I meant, are they doing OK right now?

We'd better go back. Like, in the future. Near future.

That's... gonna take a while.

Roof (108)

-He has that much to explain?-

"...Understood."

-He can't stand around for a long time listening to Leos... not to mention that Leos can't stand around explaining it all to him.-

"...It is inconvenient for you to explain."

-He feels bad again.-

Main Room (Aichi)

-Aichi walks into the main room, rather tired seeming...-

-Another really rough night. It seems like every single night he struggles now...-

-He walks over towards the couch in his fairly tired daze... only to notice that Sthesia's in the main room as well.-

"...O-Oh, hello, Sthesia..."

-Sthesia, you've got the classic blueberry cinnamon roll speaking to you.-

Hmmm? Oh, hey, Aichi. You okay?

Hey, don't feel bad, little guy. Not everything has to be explained at once, you know.

-...-

"...Y-Yeah, I'm fine..."

-...Sthesia, he looks really tired, but not quite as bad as the day you went to the mall.-

-Apparently he wants to dissuade you from that though, and quickly follows up with:-

"...What about you...? Are you all right...?"

Roof (108)

"Understood."

-He doesn't need to learn everything at once.-

"..."

-...Well, now he's gone back to being quiet. He's just staring up at Leos.-

-Maybe you should break the ice a little (again), Leos?-

Yeah, I'm okay. Just thinking. Do you wanna sit? (She pats the empty space on the sofa next to her.)


Roof (Leos)

So... What have you been up to, lately?

Main Room (Aichi)

-Well...-

-...-

"...Yeah. Thank you."

-He smiles a little and sits down.-

"...What have you been thinking about?"

-He's curious— Wait, he can't just ask something like that!-

"...I-If you want to talk about it, I mean..."

-...He doesn't want to be pushy...-

Roof (108)

-What has he been doing? Well...-

"I have been attending Emily's classes and completing the homework assigned to me."

-...Has he been attending school, Leos? Then again Sthesia might have spoke with you about that.-

"I have not been given any other things I want to do. I spend my free time watching TV and analyzing the data I have obtained."

-...He never figured out that saying 'thing(s) I want to do' in place of 'mission(s)' or 'objective(s)' like that is awkward...-

"I also have the middle name 'Marcia' so that I can be part of the Marcias' council."

-...What?-

Roof (Leos)

Oh, really? I heard from Sthesia that you've become a very good student— Hang on, what was that about a middle name?


Basement (Sthesia)

Oh, uh, don't worry about it, Aichi. It's a bit personal, so...

Roof (108)

-108 smiles a little as he hears that he's apparently a very good student. He tries his best, at least...-

-...? Oh, the middle name?-

"The Marcias said that I can have my middle name as 'Marcia' so I can be part of their council of Marcias."

-...So apparently he has decided that his middle name is 'Marcia', Leos.-

-...Wait, the kid doesn't even have a last name! What's he doing with a middle name?!-

Main Room (Aichi)

-...Oh, right... Of course...-

"...T-That's fine... I don't want to pry..."

-He feels mildly dejected, but he keeps that to himself.-

"...U-Um... If you ever need to talk to someone you can talk to, you can talk to me..."

-He's just letting her know that. He's always willing to listen to a friend.-

-He's not trying to pressure her into talking or anything.-

Okaaay....


Main Room (Sthesia)

Awww, thank you, Aichi.

But, yeah. I've been thinking some things lately, and... well, it's complicated.

Roof (108)

-...?-

-There is something about Leos's reaction... He's not sure what it is, but...-

"...?"

-...Does he not approve of 108's middle name being Marcia?-

"...Is there something wrong with my middle name being 'Marcia'?"

Main Room (Aichi)

-Complicated, huh...?-

"O-Oh..."

-He's not really sure what he should say. It's clear that Sthesia's not really wanting to talk about it with him...-

"U-Um... If it helps, I've been there... D-Dealing with complicated things, I mean..."

-He already told you about all of the complicated stuff that's been going on through his head for over the past several months.-

"..."

-...Well, a bunch of it's because he's still something of a wreck right now and he just can't hold it in anymore, but he's still stuck facing things he never wanted to face.-

-Heck, he even confessed to you, Sthesia! Granted it was because he knew he couldn't hide it any longer, but he still had to work up the nerve to do it.-

-So, uh... at the very least you've got good company in terms of having complicated thoughts, Sthesia.-

Roof (Leos)

Well, it's a bit of a weird choice, Aichi. Why do you want to be part of this council, anyway?


Main Room (Sthesia)

Yeah, thank you, Aichi. I appreciate it.

So... did you figure out what I meant the other day?

(She's got a cheeky smile on her face, again, Aichi.)

Roof (108)

"The Marcias said they would discuss things they have learned. I want to learn."

-...Well, it was a bit more complicated than that (More like scientific findings and such if the narrator remembers correctly, but still), but the point stands that 108 wants to learn.-

"If I learn more then I will become more human."

-It's sweet that the boy's so eager to learn and become more human, but he doesn't really need to do things like this...-

Main Room (Aichi)

"H-Huh?! I-I, um..."

-Aichi gets a bit nervous and looks down towards his hands, twiddling his fingers a bit.-

"...Y-You said that she's probably closer than I think..."

-...-

"...D-Do you mean that she could be here...?"

-...Well, he's trying to figure it out. Still not there yet, Sthesia...-

Aichi, you don't need to go to this council just to learn things.

-Why does Sthesia have to be so cryptic?!-

"S-Sthesia...!"

-Does she think it or not?! Aichi's a tad frazzled now...-

"...W-Who would it be...?"

-He's not really thinking of actual people right now, mostly just a hypothetical featureless image of a girl blurred by infinite possibility.-

-One day though, he will see Misaki there, but for now...-

"...S-Someone I haven't met yet...?"

-...Or...-

"...Someone I know...?"

-He just has no idea...-

"...N-No, it'd be silly of me to assume someone I know would..."

-Not necessarily, Aichi!!!-

Roof (108)

-...He supposes it's true he doesn't have to...-

"...I wanted to learn more. To be more human."

-He thought that being part of that council would help, but if Leos says that he doesn't need to be part of their council to learn...-

"...Understood. I will not be part of their council."

How do you want she won't be someone you know?


Roof (Leos)

Attaboy, Aichi. Oh, and we are not having Marcia as your middle name. It just doesn't fit in that name of yours.

-W-Well...-

"...I-I don't know, but... i-it seems a little unlikely, doesn't it...?"

-He can't picture any of the girls he knows liking him like that...-

Roof (108)

-So Marcia shouldn't be his middle name then?-

"Understood."

-...Although...-

"...I am uncertain of what it should be. My name is Number 108 Aichi... Can you think of something that fits?"

-...Leos, the kid doesn't even have a last name.-

-On the bright side he's actually referring to Aichi as part of his actual name now. Not 'also referred to as' or saying it like an additional thing...-

-He really does think of it as his name now.-

-...Although he still seems to consider "Number 108" his name as well. Might want to try to ease him out of that at some point too...-

-...He's got a lot for you guys to try to help him through...-

-His creators and superiors are screwed up people making a kid end up like this.-

Maybe we should focus on changing your actual name, first, Aichi. You shouldn't regard yourself as a number.


Main Room (Sthesia)

I dunno, you had a secret crush on me. For all you know, you might have a secret admirer...~

Roof (108)

-...He shouldn't? But... that's what he's always been called.-

-For as long as he can remember... he's been Number 108.-

"...It is what I have always been."

-...It's hard to imagine himself as just Aichi.-

"I should not regard myself as a number...?"

-...-

-...He's supposed to make his own decisions... Not just led around by what his superiors want...-

-...A number... it makes him seem... different from others...-

-...! Everyone else he has met... They aren't designated by numbers.-

-Kai, Leos, Sthesia, Anna, Athena, Xenos...-

-...None of them have a number associated with them.-

-...Is that how a real person is supposed to be? Without a number...?-

"...A human is not a number..."

-Leos, it seems like you might be getting through to him!!!-

Main Room (Aichi)

-A-A secret admirer?!-

-Aichi's definitely pink now. The idea of that is rather... well, he has to admit it's nice to imagine, but...-

"T-There's no way!"

-...He can't even begin to imagine someone secretly liking him like that...-

-...Heck, it's hard to imagine someone eventually liking him like that at all.-

-Most girls would rather have someone like Leos, Kai, or Miwa wouldn't they? Someone with their traits?-

-Aichi is nothing like that. He's shy, weak, easily frightened, nervous, uncertain...-

"...I-I don't think anyone would feel like that about me... G-Girls would rather have someone different, wouldn't they...? N-Not like me..."

-If anything he'd be lucky if a girl humored him.-

-...Sthesia, he's lacking confidence in himself. He thinks girls wouldn't be interested in someone like him.-

Aichi, you're being too hard on yourself. Everyone is different. Maybe your secret admirer likes you because you're more gentle and caring than other guys?


Roof (Leos)

Yeah, that's it. You're meant to be Aichi, not 108, Aichi.

-...Does Sthesia really think so?-

"...I-I guess that's possible..."

-...You know, Sthesia's definitely talking like someone actually does like him...-

"..."

-...Maybe there really is someone...?-

-...He can't just jump the gun assuming that, can he...?-

"...I-If there was someone that liked me like that... What should I do?"

-Maybe Sthesia can give him a small idea on how to proceed? It's not like he has any idea of who it could be...-

-...Heck, he doesn't know if he'd like her back! He can't just accept someone's feelings that he doesn't return them for...-

Roof (108)

-He is not meant to be 108...-

-He is meant to be Aichi...-

-He finds himself mentally repeating this, and the more he does the more it seems to sink in.-

"...I am not 108..."

-...He is not 108...-

-...He is...-

"...I am Aichi..."

-...He... feels a bit better saying that. Distancing himself from that number that was thrust upon him.-

-He smiles a bit.-

"I am Aichi..."

-He!-

-Is!-

-Not!-

-108!-

-He!-

-Is!-

-Aichi!-

"I am Aichi...!"

-...Leos, did you just hear a little bit of passion in the way he slightly raised his voice that last time?-

(Leos actually smiles at Aichi's newfound pride in his name. It just tugs at his heart that this boy is finally recognising himself as a human being, and not a glorified weapon.)

Yeah, you sure are, kiddo.

-...Well, it sounds simple enough...-

"...A-All right."

-He smiles a little.-

"...Thank you, Sthesia."

-He's still so uncertain about this whole thing, but he at least feels a little better about it now.-

Roof (108)

-Aichi is still smiling, and sees Leos smile as well.-

-...Aichi doing this makes Leos happy then?-

"You are happy?"
