[ Hey everyone, it's your favorite token human. She's not donned the suit today, and that's probably because she doesn't look so good. She's been losing weight since her arrival, but now it's really showing. She appears to not have slept in a week. ]

Hey guys. Sorry for kind of going MIA I just... had some shit to take care of.

So look um. A few points of interest here. First-

Does anyone wanna hang out? I mean just like. Drop by. If that's okay. I'm free all day.

And since... until we can find Ratchet, I need someone to teach me the ropes in the whole. Medical. Field. I'm nowhere near good enough to work without supervision.

[ She rakes a few strands of hair out of her eyes.]

On a last note, I know this is a weird question but... has anyone ever fallen out of love with someone? And if so, how did you do it?

And yet they do so anyway.

[He straightens up, cupping both hands around her.]

No. It doesn't look that way. [He hesitates.] Vandal... Is living always this hard?

Well then they're buttfucks.

[ Wow. Loaded question. ]

Yes. It is. I mean, our situation particularly, but man. Living can really suck sometimes.

There are sometimes things that make it worth that suffering, though.

... Butt... fucks...?

[Wellp. There's a new word for his vocabulary.]

[He lifts her up a little, closer to his face, listening intently.]

I thought it would be different... easier than this. It always sounded like it was something better.

Like what?

Buttfucks.

Yeah. The truth is kind of ugly.

It varies. Everyone has their thing. Sometimes a hobby or a person or a particular experience.

Should I call him that?

Ugly. I don't know if that's the right word. Difficult. Disappointing... yes.

Yes... a person. A person would help. [He tilts his head.] What is it you have?

Call who what?

Yeah. All of the above.

I-

Ah.

I don't know.

Call him 'buttfuck'.

You... don't know? [And suddenly, he's determined.] We should find something.

Who's 'him'?

Ahah. It's not that easy.

Gunmax. He calls me "Shinewbie". I don't have anything to retaliate with.

[Because 'buttfuck' is totally an okay retort, right?]

Why? We could try.

Oh. Yeah, go ahead and call him a buttfuck. You gotta be absolutely confident with your delivery though. Be like. HEY BUTTFUCK. Yeah, that's right! I called you a buttfuck.

You gotta do it like that.

Ah, I guess. But that seems like a fools errand.

[He looks thoughtful for a second.]

Hey! Buttfuck! Yes, you. That is what you are!

[And then he looks down at her, a little too eagerly.]

Like that?

[Another head tilt, sobering.]

Fool's errand. Mm. Vandal... are you my friend?

Yes! That's perfect. Good job. Gold star.

[Gold clap.]

Of course I am.

Good. I'll do it then.

[PREENING. Not... literally because he's not a bird right now, but still.]

... then it isn't foolish at all.

Let me know how it goes for you.

I-

...Thank you. Kagerou.

I will. I promise.

[It's a small miracle, but... he smiles slightly.]

We can start with a hobby. Like you said. I don't have anything like that either... so... it would be best to search together, wouldn't it?

Hahaaaaaaaa awesome.

Well. Yeah. I guess it would, huh?

[O-oh now he feels like he did a good thing.]

Do... do you like to fly? They told me I should try that -- to see if that was my... hobby.

Well. Maybe you should practice.

[The only time she's flown is with Whirl and that was... not great.]

I bet Wing would help you.

[There's that almost-smirk again.]

There are a lot of things I need to practice... flying isn't one of them.

Whoooaa somebody's confident.

Only when it comes to this. I promise.

Nothing wrong with being confident. It's a good look on you.

A good look on me...?

Confidence. Yeah. It's good to see that from you.

... Then thank you.

For letting me show it to you.
