A robot tried to trick me, so I took care of it.

[ She's fine, really. She's just really... done. ]

audio;

[retorter]

[ wow way to sound like a sketchy murderer mary ]

Really? [ here's Souji sounding intrigued ] Did you kill it?

audio;

[immobileyes]

Kind of...? I mean, Hiro helped me get rid of it after I made it stop moving.

[ MARY IS A KIND, SWEET GIRL. ]

[retorter]

[ MMHM ]

That's still pretty impressive. Did you use a coat hanger or something?

[ Souji imagines Mary strangling a robot version of herself with a coat hanger, then blinks a couple of times. That doesn’t seem like something Mary would do?? ]

audio;

[immobileyes]

N-no! I don't use coat hangers if I don't have to!

[ ... well. Yes. ]

audio;

[retorter]

[ if I don't have to ]

Hmm, I see. [ at least he doesn't sound like he's judging her?? ] So what did you use?

[ Time to wriggle out of this subject, Mary. ]

audio;

[immobileyes]

My... self.

[ Well, it's not a lie. ]

audio;

[retorter]

[ it's not a lie, but it's not the whole truth??? Souji considers her answer, and also doesn't say anything back for a long while. so after that stretch of awkward silence ]

You're surprisingly tougher than I thought, huh? [ nice. still, even if Souji can detect what's not being said here, he isn't so mean to bully an answer out of Mary. Okay. He is, but he figures there's no point in doing that over audio (bullying is far more effective in person) and also well ]

[ he might be fond enough of mary not to try. for now at least. ]

But handling that by yourself deserves some kind of praise, so... good job Mary-chan.

audio;

[immobileyes]

[ O-oh. She's being praised by a historically famous badass... her face is totally glowing right now (and a good thing he can't see that). ]

Thanks! Hiro and I threw it off a bridge afterwards, and I hope those things never come back again.

[ she really didn't like them. ]

audio;

[retorter]

[ okay that makes Souji laugh ]

You'll be fine even if they do come back.

[ because mary's a robot murderer like Souji ]

Are you staying with Hiro right now?

audio;

[immobileyes]

[ She's a robot murdering accomplice, that's all!! ]

No, I'm home now. But I thought about you and I thought I should make sure you were doing okay.

audio;

[retorter]

[ ugh how cute. Souji's not sure if he should be offended or touched. Most people would be touched, but Souji doesn't have lots of friends so. Maybe it's a mix of both??? ]

And if I wasn't? Would you run over and try to rescue me?

[ why he gotta be a teasing punk ]

audio;

[immobileyes]

Yes.

[ Well, duh. ]

audio;

[retorter]

[ ugh stop making his teasing backfire on him. ]

You know. I'm kind of tempted to get into trouble now, just to see that happen.

audio;

[immobileyes]

[ you do this to yourself. ]

Don't do that!! [ WHY ] You should try to stay safe!

audio;

[retorter]

[ no, time to jump off a CLIFF ]

But it's not like you'd let anything happen to me, right? So I should be fine, even if I find ten robots to fight.

[ AT THE SAME TIME ]

audio;

[immobileyes]

... I'd try really hard...

[ UGH. ]

audio;

[retorter]

[ please hold as Souji bursts into laughter ]

See? [ NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. ] I'll be depending on you then, Mary-chan.
