"We're Caleb's friends! I'm Willow, and that's Gus."

[ She points to herself and the black kid. ]

"Who are you, anyway?"

[parttimeai]

Just a friendly neighbourhood h- [ FZZZZZZZ; her form glitches out again, and the Noomba falls to the floor ]

Shit! Stupid — uh, just friendly neighbourhood helper!

[pyrighteous]

[ All the kids stare at her for a moment, then Gus pipes up: ]

"Are you an illusion? That's amazing! Can I see your machine?"

[parttimeai]

… Sure. Why not!

[ the hologram reforms and resolidifies; she picks up the Noomba again and holds it out for Gus to see ]

I'm an AI, though. Not an illusion.

[pyrighteous]

[ Gus looks DELIGHTED as he turns it over in his hands. ]

"Wait, is this a human thing? What's it called? Where's its heart?"

[parttimeai]

[ it's a very sleek device, lightweight but incredibly sturdy. there's a cell phone mounted into the top of it ]

It's a human thing, yeah … it's called a robot, and my tech team built it so I could get around.

[pyrighteous]

"A real robot! That's amazing! I'm taking so many pictures for Penstagram!"

[ Indeed, he gets out a little purple scroll thing - about phone sized - and starts snapping photos.

Meanwhile, "Caleb" laughs nervously. ]

They're ... really good friends. I miss them.

[parttimeai]

[ PENSTAGRAM ... ]

[ but she focuses on "caleb" ]

You miss 'em?

[pyrighteous]

Yeah. I mean - these are just memories right?

[ He looks at the collection of students his age. ]

[parttimeai]

Oh. Yeah. That would make sense, wouldn't it.

[ tugs on the brim of her cap ]

... You looked so happy.

[pyrighteous]

It was my first time making friends. I didn't have any before that.

[parttimeai]

[ tugs the brim lowerrrrrr ]

Bet you can't wait to get back to them, huh?

[pyrighteous]

Yeah. I - yeah.

... What's wrong?

[parttimeai]

Huh, what? [ looks back up again ] With me? Nothing!

[ and, quickly, ]

So, uh ... is there anything in here that can help?

[pyrighteous]

Help with what?

[parttimeai]

[ ???????????????? ]

Help with ... uh ...

Huh?

[pyrighteous]

Am I helping with with something?

[ He points at broken Hunter standing behind her. ]

Does HE need help?

[parttimeai]

... Right! Yes?

[ help ]

He needs help finding his missing pieces, so he can use his name again ... [ looks back at broken hunter ]

[pyrighteous]

[ Broken hunter sighs and just. Comes closer. ]

I think I can just reabsorb him.

[parttimeai]

[ is that fine?? that's probably fine. ]

Oh, is that how it works ...

[pyrighteous]

I-I don't know much about this either, okay?

[ But he does reach out to himself ... and the other disappears in a ball of light. One of the cracks in Hunter's face heals. ]

Oh. That's ... better.

[parttimeai]

Hhhhhhhholy shit! That just happened!





... It really actually helped?

[pyrighteous]

[ The guard touches his own face. ]

I - I feel better? Yeah.
