[ Okay, here goes nothing. She really hasn't presented herself with the whole 'approaching a giant robot' yet, so congratulations Kagerou, you are the first.

She presses her lips together again in a line, tugging her helmet off in order to see him better. You know, without a visor in the way. Seeing him this beat up though? Tugs at her heartstrings.

[ Unceremoniously, she takes a seat in front of him, the helmet plopping down at her side as well. ]

Beat you up on the inside and out I see.

I'm glad you're okay now, though. I'm sure a few people are.

[He blinks, several times, when she sits down. That was unexpected.]

I've never had memories like this... memories I don't want. So... yes. Maybe so.

Kay is glad. At least.
