// There are so many vampire muses now.

Rem starts tearing up in response. Now they're both crying.

"Y-you have to... Treat your metallic friends nicely... Please treat them nicely."

"Yeah... I hope it's a good one." :)

"The microwaves... When they spark, they're crying out in pain... Begging someone to save them... It's like their tears, before they take a final breath."

"...You're hurting them."

The door opens a little too quickly, and he startles. He's stands stupidly in front of her, clutching a bouquet of scarlet flowers to his chest.

"I–" He gingerly offers her the bouquet. "I hope this is... Okay... Stella helped me, um... My options are pretty limited, but...

H-happy White Day, SQ."

He's pacing back and forth by @511th-progeny.isgnosia.lol's room, trying to decide if he wants to knock or just leave his present on the floor outside her door.

... He decides to knock... Eventually.

"Happy birthday, Sha-Ming."

Percussive maintenance works on everything except fusion reactors and guns.

IM SORRY

( Chose the wrong dialogue option )

I know but... They're like... So fragile-looking.......

A-again... They're NOT my partner... And PLEASE don't smack them!

Because they're... Really good at it.

// Lol it's nothing huge. All my friends of like 5 years silently cut me off and went about their business like I'm roadkill but it's fine. We will survive.

// I just went through every possible negative emotion all at once but I'm normal again. Replies soon.

She should go back to sleep then. His arms are open. He's waiting.

i'm 19 years old and i've already wasted my entire life.

A hug, probably.

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms... in your automatic arms, your electronic arms... in your arms.

// Maintaining the bit no matter what.

( the room is empty, yet somehow, someway, there is distant booing )

// I apologize in advance, he's going to be in literally the worst mood ever until the end of time. ❤️

I let you down.......

( Minecraft damage tick sound )

... Huh? Oh... Uh, I guess that's one way of saying it...

You're really just one year old, huh...? I'm guessing... One year out of the tube? Sorry that you got off to such a bad start.

It probably gets better.

I...

... Don't know their name, actually. I... I'm sorry. I failed you Gina.

...Both.

... Wait, I'm confused. D-did they box their lovers??

Remember when I was telling you... About how I would go into cold sleep all the time? How biological processes just... Stop?

... I've been through, about 50 years of cold sleep. Just like Jonas is... Technically 1,000 years old, isn't he?

Beating... Eachother unconscious, I guess.
