[There is a coin operated boy sitting on the Plane. Well, he isn't coin operated but a few people might know he's a statue now. Either way, he seems oblivious to everything around him. He has one of his sleeves rolled up and is examining his arm, which doesn't look quite human and has tiny cracks running down it. With a slight frown, he runs his hand over them but nothing happens.

After a moment he just sighs and tugs the sleeve down.]

[He isn't sure, but he would like to give Argentine that hope.] Maybe. We'll know in time.

[Argentine nods, then stretches.] Despite feeling the awakened parts of Qualia, my energy is spent. [So he rests his head on Satoshi's shoulder, eyes shut.]

[He pauses for a moment, and then]

Argentine. I have to go home.

[After a moment, Argentine sits up and nods, though he still seems tired.]

Of course, Creator.

Do you want me to take you to the library?

[He nods.] It is very comfortable there.

Then it's not far. Come on. [Satoshi starts to lead the way.]

[Argentine follows behind him, yawning softly.] Creator? Why did you stay here instead of returning?

[He doesn't answer for a while.]

[Then:]

I didn't want to go back.

But why not? I would not come back any faster.

I... didn't know how to explain your absence to the Niwa.

[He opens the library door for Argentine. When his back is turned to Argentine:] And I didn't want to hear what that curse would have to say.

[Tilting his head, even as he enters.]

I see...

[He frowns.] He would be right.

No.

[It's more vehement than he intended it. He takes a moment to close his emotions off.]

He'd be wrong.

[Satoshi's tone takes him off guard and he turns to look at him. Then he smiles slightly.]

If the line does end with you, Creator, it ends on one with a heart. [He continues walking.]

[Satoshi doesn't - can't - respond to that, but he finds one of the side rooms with a comfortable couch. Not that Argentine exactly needs that, being what he is, but it's the sentiment that matters. Probably.]

[Argentine climbs up onto the couch and pauses. He isn't used to laying down, really, so he sort of slumps over it, curling up in a somewhat awkward way.]

[with a bit of a sigh] Are you comfortable?

[He shifts around and ends up laying stretched out like a cat before nodding.]

[He seems okay with this, so he nods, too. Then, finally, he goes back home.]
