CUUUUUUUUTE
You got them from the machine too? Saya-chan told me you guys had some! Do they like meeting new people? Mecchan's scared and cries a lot, but I want him to make friends so he'll be happy instead!

[happydreamed]

They get along well with each other and my rabbits. We could certainly introduce them to Mecchan and see how it goes.

[roundandaround]

Wow, you have rabbits too? That sounds so cute! I can bring him over! Oh, but I gotta warn you that when he starts crying, everyone else starts crying too. The professor says it's one of those evolutionary defence mechanisms.

[happydreamed]

Ah, I see. I normally don't forgive those who make Saya cry, but in this case I can make an exception.

[roundandaround]

Aww... You really do love each other, don't you? It's so cute! It seems like everyone here has someone who makes them happy like that.

[happydreamed]

'Tis not surprising, is it? Even for those who arrived unattached, Ellipsa encourages physical affection.

[roundandaround]

[she will never get what he's inferring]

I guess not? I don't have someone like that, but that's okay! I love everyone! And physical affection is easy, I do it with everybody anyway!

[happydreamed]

Not everyone is as free with hugs as you are, I fear.

[roundandaround]

Do you mean more people are turning to stone? Should I go out looking to see if I can help any of them?

[happydreamed]

Not as far as I know. Rather, I think many people are only comfortable with physical contact with a select few.

[roundandaround]

Huh, I guess so... It seems like a hard way to live, though. I mean, here, but also in general. Wouldn't it be lonely?

[happydreamed]

For some, one or two deep relationships is enough.

[roundandaround]

I want to be friends with all kinds of people. Is that gonna cause trouble for them, though?

[happydreamed]

Can you accept it if someone says they don't want to be hugged by you?

[roundandaround]

I guess? It'd be depressing, but I don't want them to get mad or anything.

[happydreamed]

'Tis important to respect other people's boundaries, even if you don't understand them.

[roundandaround]

Did something happen with someone else, Kantera-san?

[happydreamed]

Not exactly. Or rather, not one large thing, but many small things.

[roundandaround]

Aww... I guess I'll try and be careful.

[happydreamed]

Please do. I know you don't mean to upset anyone.
