H-ch-ch-ch!

-Lyne is in the main room, treating an alpaca kid’s arm wound-

Stay still, young one.

... This is a deep clawing. Were you wandering about the forest?

It’s... it’s nothing!

Roof (108)

-Aichi's on the roof, looking through his deck.-

-...-

-...-

-...The thought of death weighs heavily on his mind... After the discussion with Ray, he realizes just what it would mean to cease to exist.-

-To lose everything...-

-...He... will die one day too, won't he...? It happens to everyone...-

-...-

-...Aichi doesn't want to die...-

-Of course, there's no trace of this serious subject going through his mind visible on his face.-

-He's just as blank and emotionless-seeming as usual...-

(Isabela takes one step out onto the roof and stops when she sees 108.)

Isabela: Ah, sorry - didn't know there was someone here.

Roof (108)

-Aichi snaps out of his thoughts when he hears Isabela speak to him.-

-He looks up, still blank.-

"You do not need to apologize."

-After he says that, he finds himself realizing that there is something else that differentiates him from others (More things occur to him as he goes along, it seems...)...-

-...Other people use contractions. 'It's', 'who's', 'I'm', 'what's'... Those types of words.-

-Isabela used 'didn't'... and honestly, Aichi hadn't really considered trying to speak like that before. For some reason or other it finally clicked for him that he doesn't.-

-Aichi understands how contractions work, but he was always told to speak precisely and clearly. He never went against what he was taught, ordered, and told in that regard.-

-...Maybe... he should try as well...? To actually use contractions?-

"...I do—n't mind."

-...The way he said that was a tad odd, Isabela. Like he had to force himself to say 'don't'.-

Just what kind of site is this?

Everything looks so... real? Is that the right word? Gruff, you can hear me, right?

Roof (108)

"...No, it is—n't."

-It actually isn't. He's first and foremost Japanese, but he does know English as well (among other languages).-

"I—'m not used to speaking like this."

-He mainly uses English while here since it seems like a lot of people speak English (Leos and Sthesia for example). He mostly switches between Japanese and English, and his Japanese is as stilted as can be.-

-...He's going to figure out how to work on that as well.-

"It is difficult."

-...Seems like he's really going to have to work on this.-

-However, Isabela may notice that his tone seems almost... empty. Not quite, as it's clear he's struggling with the language thing, but it's clear this child isn't exactly... normal.-

-Yeah, that's true...-

-...But at the same time he wants to be more human... and it seems like most normal humans speak like this.-

"Thank you, but I want to speak like this."

-After all...-

"Other people speak this way, and I want to be human."

-...He wants to be 'more human'?-

Main Room (Aichi)

-Aichi goes to open the door, aiming to go to finally the mall, but...-

-...? There's someone out there...-

"O-Oh, I'm sorry... I, um... didn't mean to stand in your way."

-He moves to the side, aiming to let the new guy walk in.-

Rappel Down from the Gundam's shoulder

(Once he's down, he sees from the open back door that a group of people have formed around the front door and goes to investigate.)

(To the weird robot thing) Chatsite? What?

"...I—'m artificial."

-He has been aware of this his entire life. For as far back as he can remember, he has always known that he's not a 'real' human.-

-He's...-

-...A tool...-

"...I want to be like a non-artificial human."

-...Isabela can tell that there's a small look of... is that sadness on his face?-

-He wishes he was actually human. He wants to be a real human, and not a tool.-

Main Room (Aichi)

-...? Chat site...? Virus...?-

"We're, um... not on a chat site..."

-...Is he new here? He seems to think this is a website...?-

"This is, um..."

-...OK, Sayaka at least explained that this is the real world.-

-Well, Aichi doesn't find him suspicious for saying he's not a virus...-

"I-I think he was just trying to clarify that he wasn't one..."

I-I’m not suspicious at all, I swear!

... Wait.

Real world? Not a chat site?

... Naaah, couldn’t be. You guys are pulling my leg, right? I get it, mess around with the Net Navi cause he got lost and somehow jumped into your chat.

-The robot places his hands on his hips-

Well I’m not falling for it! How can I even exist in the real world when I don’t even have a body?

Main Room/Outside/Wherever (Aichi)

-...?-

"...'Net... Navi'?"

-It's clear by the expression on Aichi's face that he has no idea what a Net Navi is.-

"I-It's true though... This place isn't the internet."

-...Or is it? What if this place was all like an internet simulation or something?-

-...But wait, how would he have gotten here then? Where would his body be?-

-After all, he was about to go against Ren...-

-...No, it can't be a simulation... It'd make absolutely no sense unless Aichi's world was already a simulation or the internet.-

-Man, what was Aichi thinking?-

-He gets a sheepish expression on his face as he realizes his silliness.-

-He then looks over to Sayaka.-

"M-Maybe he expected us to be worried about it..."

-Who knows how his world is in comparison to theirs?-

-...Oh, Leos is here!-

"Leos! I didn't see you..."

-He then looks back over to the Net Navi.-

"T-This isn't the internet, so..."

-...Maybe that's why he can't pull it up...?-

Roof (108)

-...Honestly... he's not entirely sure who they are. He never thought to question it before...-

"...I do—n't know their names. I only know them as my superiors."

-...Or, well... The scientists assigned by his superiors.-

Wait? How do you guys not know what a Net Navi is? Don’t they teach humans that in elementary school? You have your PET, right?

-Okay, now it’s time to grow concerned. Your User hasn’t told you anything yet. There’s no data to gleam info from either...-

You... you guys are still messing with me, I know it!

-Sayaka, you might’ve struck a nerve with the kid robot-
