*Shakes my head*
Absolutely not. Now that I’ve had some time to think, it’s starting to sink in... This is going to be a lot more to handle than I thought.

@Intrepid

But we'll get you through it together. All of us.

*Lets go, nods acceptingly, and sits back down on the ground*

@Intrepid

Please don't hesitate to ask for help while you're dealing with this. Never do, but especially not right now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

... What would I be doing without friends like you?

@Intrepid

You'd make it. You'd be alright.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Returns the hug, putting my face in your shoulder*
I do, I do... It’s just... Thanks. For listening.

@Intrepid

*Speaks softly*
It's going to be okay. It'll work out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Okay...
*Sniffles*
Okay. I can’t say I’ve convinced myself, but I trust what you say, Rhythm...

@Intrepid

*Stands up, walks over to you, and gives you a hug*
Please do trust me. I know exactly how you feel.

...
*Sighs*
That is true. I just...
*Looks at the storm coursing through my limbs*
I don’t know.

@Intrepid

I won't pretend that I know how your new body works. I don't know if kids or a family are things that naturally work. But don't think for a moment you can't find someone who loves you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Should I? I haven’t exactly got a lot of experience with something like this.

@Intrepid

I'm a program—I don't have any kind of body. But your brother was crazy enough to take a chance on me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It’s not that I’m not happy with it. I... It’s hard for me to say... Just don’t know how easy it’d be to find someone who doesn’t think of me as inhuman, or a freak of nature, or something, now. I kind of just look like someone’s science experiment...

@Intrepid

You should know better than anyone that that isn't true.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It was something on my mind as of late, actually. But now... I’m not so sure.

@Intrepid

Are you not happy with how you look now, or...?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’m fine by this point, I guess. I still love them all to death, and I know they feel the same. They’re even fine with that dynamic amongst themselves. It’s just that when... Well, if I ever start a family, I’d do things differently.

@Intrepid

Do you think you might do that someday?
