Be careful with strays, they will worm their way into your heart.

[dotcom]

I'll rehome her.

[notaccurate]

[Sorry, he's snorting at that.]

Will Mineo let you?

[dotcom]

Hm... I don't think he'd be able to stop me.

[notaccurate]

He might make a sad face at you until you relented.

[dotcom]

I'm pretty good at resisting that, actually.

[ technically he's usually the one making mineo look sad because he is so mean to him? ]

[notaccurate]

Is that so...you know, I think I saw that girl in a memory I saw from Mineo too.

[Meaning she did not get adopted out, probably.]

[dotcom]

That's not a surprise. She's the only girl he knows.

[notaccurate]

...ah. And he's such a hopeless romantic too.

[dotcom]

I guess...

[ he isn't sure he likes where this conversation is going ]

[notaccurate]

Ah, well. So long as he knows what he wants. Far be it from me to tell someone they're wrong just because I don't personally like it.

[Let your co-worker be romantic, Takeru.]

[dotcom]

I see that you're fond of him.

[notaccurate]

I am. He's an interesting one.

[But that genuine smile is quickly covered up by a more sheepish one.]

Ah, but don't worry. I won't tease him.

[dotcom]

[ ... ]

You can do whatever you want with him.

[notaccurate]

Ah? I mean, I already said I would be nice, but you're not worried about him?

[dotcom]

Why would I be?

Is there a reason to be worried?

[notaccurate]

Beyond the murderous robots and whoever else killed here?

[dotcom]

Oh, he'll be fine. He's too stupid to die.

[notaccurate]

You say that now.

[dotcom]

I'm not his babysitter.

[notaccurate]

No, but- aah, nevermind.

[He reaches up to straighten his hair.]

What about yourself, hmm? I haven't seen too many people teasing you.

[dotcom]

Why would someone want to tease me? I'm not friends with any of you.

[ the thought sounds so foreign ]

[notaccurate]

We could change that, you know. I wouldn't mind being your friend.

[dotcom]

[ he tilts his head. ]

Is that right?

[notaccurate]

It is. You're an interesting one, you know.
