...I do like them, Mira and Eric. I don't blame...how little Eric trusted me. It just made me so sad, how he was always yelling at me, thinking I was going to do something awful to them.

I-I will! Once it's big enough, I'll put it out on display in the lab for anyone to see! Someone even built a robot guardian to protect it for me!
[And saying that seems to remind him of something, because he hesitates.]
I also wanted to ask you something.

What is it?

Since we're friends...can I take my mask off around you from now on?
no subject
Huh? Yeah, sure.

And you promise not to laugh at me? You won't run away just because I look strange?

You really made a big deal out of nothing, you know that?

Hey, Justice. Can I tell you a bit about my home? I don't know much how you already know, though...
