[...it seems two of the Tower's more recent acquisitions have discovered the network terminals in the third-floor library, and are entirely computer illiterate.

Someone should turn on video and scare the crap out of them.]

Minato... [That certainly was an interesting name. It almost sounded like he might have been from Izumo - Ryoji's name did, too - but clearly the two of them weren't from Weyard... Huh.

With Oz having already asked how it worked, Sheba was left to answer his other question, to which she responded by shaking her head.] No, we don't. If we want to listen to music it has to be in person.

I think you'll like him. He's quiet, but he's really nice. I owe him so much...

[Ryoji has to stop himself before he starts gushing about Minato more. It's difficult to restrain himself with someone so important to him.]

Um, well, I don't know how to explain it... it's kind of like how you guys can make text and video posts here, and they're saved for other people to see. They're compressed down into something called a file, which kinda keeps them in a smaller form until you open them up?

[Yeah, he really doesn't know what he's talking about any more.]

[it's a fondness he can recognize and understand, at least, and his smile seems to grow even warmer.]

All right, it's settled. I'll absolutely meet him!

[and then the smile just kind of becomes a vaguely blank look of confusion technology is hard.] Ah... It sounds- [...] -handy?

[Sheba smiled as well. Quiet, nice, and dependable? That sounded a lot like someone she knew. It was good that people here had friends like that to fall back on, she thought.]

You're very lucky to have a friend like that, Ryoji. [Truth be told, she was a little jealous.

But oh, technology. Sheba's brow furrowed a bit.]

So when you use them they ... get bigger?

I am... really lucky. I'm so glad I get to see him here.

[He's a little pink, his happiness and pride clear on his face. At least until he's back to stammering through an explanation.]

Uh, it's kind of like that... uh...

[Oh wait! He has an idea!]

It's kind of like when you write a note on a piece of paper and fold it up! All the information is there, it's just smaller. When you open a file, it's like unfolding that piece of paper!

[That's it, right? He's smart, right?]
