I don't understand.

She was an experiment just like me, wasn't she? She should get how much it hurts. Doesn't she have a heart of her own?

I feel sorry for her, but I hate this place.

[There was a pause--it was like a record had gotten stuck and a moment was taken to put the needle back in place.]

I'm not feeling well. I think I am going to be on floor 25 later if anyone needs me for anything.

[Sure enough, she'd stick around the terminal for a little longer before heading straight to the meadow. Sitting down on the ground and pulling her knees to her chest, the robotic girl looked remarkably like a human would if that human was trying not to projectile vomit in disgust.]

Yeah--it was this whole crazy mess with everyone, their Personas and my own Shadow. By the time it was over I ended up gettin' Ariadne.

Nah, I guess you're right about that. Seems kinda silly to keep cryin' about it, yeah?

[altitonant_emperor]

[ He blinked, dark gray eyes showing his bemusement. ] It seems my homeworld had a great deal more interesting happenings going on than I originally gave it credit for, huh.

You can't spend your whole life looking back at your past... Or you'll never have the initiative to move forward. [ He nodded in agreement. He felt distantly glad that the android no longer appeared to be fighting off the desire to empty the contents of her stomach onto the grass out of disgust. ] Yeah, it would be rather pointless.

[fuhgeddaboudit]

Heh...guess so. I woulda loved to just have been a normal high school student, t' tell ya the truth.

[Labrys sighed, posture relaxing slightly as she did.]

I'm sorry I went an' freaked out earlier.

[altitonant_emperor]

It's fine... I was not behaving entirely rationally myself.

[ And she had, he now knew, a fair amount of reasons to be as distraught as she had been. Hidetoshi scowled, then shoved the stack of books slightly across the grass towards her. ]

But in the middle of that, you mentioned you harbored an interest in being a student council president. I... thought these might help you in that area.

[ He felt rather foolish now that he pushing some booklets on her out of the blue, and not nearly as self-confident as he had been in the library picking them out; Labrys was a robot and all, she probably already had all the information she needed programmed into her data banks. She didn't require his aide. ]

[fuhgeddaboudit]

[Quite to the contrary, scarlet eyes lit up in excitement as a smile spread across her face.]

Really? Ya didn't have t' go and do somethin' that nice for me!

[altitonant_emperor]

It was no trouble.

[ He'd done it as much for distraction as to give Labrys some material to work with, regardless of whether or not she ever actually attempted to become a student president. >:|| It wasn't exactly like he had anything else to do that required his attention, and besides, he had the reputation of the student council to uphold! Standards and all, okay. ]

These include materials such as public debates, and notes on how to run a successful campaign. I found them useful myself. [ It was through the classes he'd took, which encouraged involved in school activities, he'd gained a knack for public speaking and debate and found himself happily in the position of the vice president of the student council in the first place. ]
