[Amidst all the panic and excitement, there's Rin- sitting on a bench in the sunshine and reading a book. She was not immune to the changes caused by the event, but seems to be handling them quite well. For now, at least.]

And you know what? Humans don't even fully understand each other sometimes. So I think it's ok. What matters more is asking questions and trying to communicate well when we don't get it.

I...

It's hard. I want to make people um, understand me... and part of that was being a robot, even if that was new...

...But even I can tell everyone's different. S-- so maybe it doesn't matter what kind of different?

I-- already ask a lot of questions, I guess.

I believe you've come to a very good conclusion, Len. And you do ask a lot of questions. But I don't mind a bit.

[She really doesn't- in fact, she'd be more bothered if he didn't.]

[justanimitator]

Thanks, Rin... I'm glad, I don't want to stop asking them. How will I, um, learn?

...

So, uh, how does it feel for you, then?

[bottledawish.livejournal.com]

It's like... I'm thinking but not in the same way that I used to. The strength is a little scary, too. Sometimes I wonder why I'm not breathing, but I just tell myself it's all ok and move on.

[justanimitator]

Sort of... the opposite for me. My thinking is... a little fuzzy. I feel sorta... wobbly. And um... the breathing.

I kind of like it, but I'm afraid I might forget to do it. That'd be bad, right?

But-- but I really like it!

[bottledawish.livejournal.com]

It would be bad if you stopped, yes, but you can't really forget to breathe. Even when you don't think about it you still do it.

Heartbeat too?

[bottledawish.livejournal.com]

Yes, heartbeat too. I don't suppose we'd get much done if we constantly had to think about all the little things that allow humans to live.

[justanimitator]

It's... kind of amazing, isn't it?

Um, being alive. Like this or like-- [gestures to Rin]

[bottledawish.livejournal.com]

It certainly is. No matter which way it is, we share something very special.

[justanimitator]

I'm glad.

That we do that, and um...

...being alive.
