Partly.

He's not troubling me. Maybe he's a bit of a prick sometimes, but I believe he's a nice guy deep inside.

[projections]

I guess it's fine if he's not bothering you. Now I feel stupid for worrying so much.

[He knows how much of a hassle Archer can be sometimes. At least Archer isn't bugging someone here.]

[psycholawgy]

We're friends!

[ LOL... so much for not worrying. ]

[projections]

I should have known.

[smh]

Do you befriend people like this easily?

[psycholawgy]

[ She laughs sheepishly. ]

I don't know. I didn't really have a lot of friends growing up. It was only Junie and Simon who were my friends when I was younger.

And when I went to Europe and went to school there, I was so focused on studying law and psychology that I didn't really have time to make friends.

But now. . . [ A beat, and she puts her face closer to the camera. ] I've got a lot of time to make up for my lost childhood! I think I'm doing well by making friends with everyone. Don't you think?

[projections]

You're doing a great job making friends. [If only Sakura could make lots of friends too. That'd be nice.]

Just don't get too carried away. I'm afraid that you'll start behaving and acting like a seven year old when you finally hit the age of twenty. [He's only teasing her.]

[psycholawgy]

I was actually very quiet when I was seven. I didn't like going out, so I only stayed at home and played with my robot friends.

I wouldn't mind playing robot friends when I hit twenty.

[projections]

You were so quite then I almost find that hard to believe. [Athena also worked really hard to get to where she is now so it's fair.]

What's it like growing up with a robot friend? How is it different from a person?

[psycholawgy]

Not different at all. The robots I knew had hearts.

[ Which is vague in itself, but... it was the truth. ]

[projections]

That's not something I can easily wrap my head around. [The concept of robots being like humans. It's too much for him to deal with. ]

Hey Athena, do you have a Cybuddy?

[psycholawgy]

Do you mean those pets?

[projections]

Yeah, those pets.

Are they anything like your robotic friends?

[psycholawgy]

No way! Widget is more special!

It's true.

[projections]

I guess that's the way things are then.

Even Widget agrees.

[psycholawgy]

Why'd you ask?

[projections]

I thought you'd be interested in them, that's all.

[psycholawgy]

I've never had pets before! I wouldn't know how to take care of one.

Are you going to give me a puppy, Shirou?

[projections]

Do you want one?

You can learn how to raise it yourself.

[psycholawgy]

It's okay. I don't think I'd do a good job.

[projections]

I agree with you.

[Rude as hell.]

Your hands are full with work already. It'd be hard for you to find time to manage a pet.

[psycholawgy]

[ LMFAO SHIROU GOD ]

Yeah, it's okay! I have to take care of Ryuko too.

[projections]

How is Matoi doing? Is she well?

[He's honestly concerned.]

[psycholawgy]

She's fine... A lot better now, but still mad at Archer.

[projections]

That can't be helped.

Archer isn't exactly the nicest person around and you know how it is. [Archer's an asshole.]

I'm relieved to hear she's doing well. [She needs to be less reckless or something smh.]

[psycholawgy]

I wish everyone can just get along... but I guess it's difficult with everyone having different and clashing personalities.
