Hey I have a digital being who seems to be looking for more of his kind, sounds like he is your type of being that could use your aid. Mind coming over? I can make a direct line for you.

@Zeal

Ah, I dunno, it's sort of weird to say I'd know some other digital being just because I'm digital, you know?

@Zeal

Yyyyello. Rhythm speaking.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

It is, but... something’s different. Is this the first time that we’ve hugged?

@Webmaster

*Lets go and takes a step back*
Now that you mention it, I think it is. The dampening effect is gone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I think you two have some catching up to do.

*The shimmering fades and leaves me standing, taking in my surroundings*
Y—

<Snipped quote by Server>

Rhythm!
*Takes off running toward you*

@Webmaster

Tempo!!
*Meets you halfway and pulls you into an embrace*
It’s really you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Lowers my arm back to my side and musters a smile*

@GalaxyRaider

*Grins*
Hey.
*My gaze bounces from you, to Cure, and then lands fixated on Tempo*

*Lifts Rhythm’s key up and touches her forehead with it, watching it slowly dissolve from that end to the end I am holding after I do*

@GalaxyRaider

*In a shimmer of light, the freezing effect is removed and I gracefully touch down before opening my eyes*

Hurting him isn’t on my agenda.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Now we’re on the same page.

@GalaxyRaider

Because for the first time, a path to fixing everything is somewhat clear. And the cost is genuinely negligible to the gain.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I imagine the sooner things happen, the better in your case.

@GalaxyRaider

*Crosses my arms*
I hate this. I hate all of this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

It doesn’t. Regardless of how she sees Melody, or what she thinks of you, Data still did experiment with souls, we know that. And Melody told us why she was having an identity crisis, and it matches up like a jigsaw puzzle with what she’s saying happened to her. You think that’s coincidence? This sucks. This all really, really sucks, and I don’t want it to be true as much as you do. But we’re never going to fix anything if we turn a blind eye to the things that hurt.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Looks down*

@GalaxyRaider

If she’s telling the truth, then how does any of it matter anyway? Her view of the world is a hopeless dead end.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

No, I don’t agree with her opinions. At all. I’ve already expressed as much. But in terms of this being the result of Data’s experimentation? Does that really even sound too out of character for him? Can you really think that?
*Pauses*
Besides, I need to help you get better…

@GalaxyRaider

How can you stand there and agree with everything she says, except "oh, I still disagree in this one small area"? Her whole story hinges on her word on souls being true.
