[Video] [Origin: Prima Prime's Temple]

Hey guys!

[A sign comes up on screen, large bubble letters written on a piece of cardboard. It reads: "FREE CAR WASH TODAY! Though you don't have to be a car! Helpers paid in hugs! 8'D"

The sign is pulled back and Yuuta's grinning face comes up. He looks particularly excited.]

I heard from McCrane that you guys haven't been getting regular washings since you guys came here. I'm looking at you, Deckerd! So! What if we have a huge car wash today! I'll help anyone who needs a cleaning, though if anyone would like to help as well I won't refuse.

I'll be at Prima Prime's temple, so come on over!

... Car wash?

[SO MUCH UNSURE.]

Yep! It's good to keep clean so that you don't get all sorts of gunk stuck when you transform, and it feels really nice too! At least, that's what Deckerd tells me.

You should come, Kagerou! It'll be fun, I promise.

[fdhjdfs he keeps forgetting other people can activate the video function. Excuse him while he looks a bit startled, before recovering his "B|" face.]

I don't like water. It... gets in places.

[Plus he's still. Unsure. About all of you.]

[Whoops - sorry Kagerou! Yuuta stifles a little giggle at the ninja 'bot's surprise.]

Don't worry about that! I'll be sure to dry you reeeeaaaallly well. I don't want to leave streak marks anyways!

I shouldn't be off the generator.

[This is a very transparent excuse. He's been off of it before, and that's no secret.]

... have you done this for all of them?

Oh.

[Yuuta deflates a bit. That's a downer.]

W-well if you really can't, that's alright. I can do more car washes. But I think you should come if you can!

I wash Deckerd every Sunday! And I've kinda helped wash Duke before too.

[It. Is really hard to say no to this face. Why is it so difficult?]

You really wish to do this? Even for me?

[His head tilts.]

... Duke?

Of course! Everyone is invited, and there's no reason why you should be exempt, Kagerou!

Duke is one of the newer members you haven't met before. He's an ambulance!

[So Yuuta totally has experience washing bigger vehicles. ~~Even if Duke looks more like a soccer mom van than an actual ambulance.~~]

... Not just for the Brave Police, then.

[It's meant to be more of a question than it comes out as. He fidgets a bit, unable to keep from sounding somewhat bitter:]

There is a lot I never saw. Isn't there?

[Since someone sort of spilled the Horrible Ending he's to go through, back in their world.]

You want us there now?

[Yuuta blinks, confused by Kagerou's tone. He gives Kagerou a considering look.]

Well... it wouldn't be fair to leave everyone else out. There are a lot of people who need washing after all.

[He pauses, thinking. Maybe....]

It's a bit sudden, but... would you like to be a part of the Brave Police, Kagerou? We can't do anything officially here, but I'm sure once we get back We can get the Commissioner to approve of it!

[Mr. Saejima would definitely approve!]

Sure! I'm mostly set up, so you're welcome to come over anytime!

I suppose so.

[And then, he's caught completely off-guard. He just sort of sits there, staring at the feed, like Yuuta suddenly started speaking French or actually was a girl or something like that.]

[What... can he even say, here?]

[What is he supposed to say, here?]

[There are so many mixed messages from these people he doesn't even know where to start trying to put it all together. And so, Yuuta gets a nice long video feed of Kagerou staring at him in utter shock, like he's hit that fabled Blue Screen of Death.]

I ... But you already have someone... he was made for you. I wasn't... meant to be part ...

[He shakes his head.]

I don't... know.

That doesn't matter! There's nothing wrong with having more people! The more the merrier!

Well, think on it, alright? You don't have to if you don't want, but the offer'll be there for you.

So, will you be coming today, Kagerou?

[Pleeaaase?]

The others will listen, if you tell them what you've decided to offer me?

[That's the biggest problem, really.]

... I might.

[Which totally means "Yes".]

Well, of course! I'm Boss after all!

But more than that, you're not a bad guy, Kagerou. I don't think anyone wouldn't want you to join.

[Yuuta pouts a bit at the evasive answer but nods.]

I hope you decide to come, Kagerou! I'll be waiting, okay?

I thought the commissioner was the boss.

... Not all of you trust me. I think that would be reason enough.

[dfsjskd Yuuta no, don't make that face. He... suddenly finds it very hard to say no to that face.]

Fine.

I will... come.

The Commissioner is... the big boss! He's my boss and everyone else's boss. I'm boss of the Brave Police!

[Office hierarchy is a little confusing, but this much Yuuta can understand.]

Well phooey to whoever doesn't! I'm sure they'll warm up to you in time.

[No one liked Drill Boy or Gunmax or Duke when they first joined!]

[Yuuta grins and actually jumps in celebration.]

~~WaHa!~~ Yay! I'll be expecting you then, Kagerou! Don't worry, I'll make sure you're squeaky clean and water free when I'm done, okay?

And if he decides to overrule your decision?

[His face twitches. It's too quick and slight to really be called a smile. But it came close.]

I wonder if you'd say that, if you knew who it was.

[This time he just looks embarrassed. But in a moment, there's a bird in place of the robot, taking flight.]

Water free is preferable, yes.

He won't! Mr. Saejima's a really nice person. And really understanding! He'll accept you for sure!

[Yuuta blinks.]

Why not?

[Who could it possibly be?]

Just tell me if they give you trouble and I'll talk to them! They shouldn't be mean!

[>8T Boss' duty to keep everyone in line, right? He'll give them a stern talking to!]

Okay! Don't worry 'bout a thing, Kagerou!

... Then why would he accept my being reformatted? Erased?

[The bird shakes its head.]

I need to handle my own trouble. I should be the one to speak.

[Kagerou you don't talk.]

... All right.

They hadn't understood then. They didn't realize what impact it would have. But now they do. A lot has happened since then, Kagerou. It really is okay now.

... Well if you say so. Tell me if anyone does give trouble okay?

... I see.

[But... 'a lot has happened'. While in a way, that's reassuring. If things have really changed. But on the other hand...]

Tell me something.

... he's all right, isn't he?

[To the rest, he just nods. He's not entirely sure if he could do it, after the Drift Fiasco. But it seems best just to agree.]

[Kagerou's concern draws out bright smile from Yuuta. 10+ approval points right there.]

If you mean Shadowmaru, he's fine. He seems a bit lonesome sometimes, but he's been well!

Lonesome...

[Oh. Ouch. Right in the feelings.]

[He's silent for a good few seconds. A little longer than he probably should be.]

Thank you. For telling me.

I'm nearly to your location, now.

[Yuuta nods and looks up at the sky squinting.]

Ah - I think I see you! Hey!

[He starts waving and jumping excitedly.]

Over here!

[... Yuuta you're impossible to miss.]

[He touches down lightly, a few feet from where the boy stands, looking down at him, expectantly.]

[Okay, kiddo, what now?]
