[ hi nero

owner is just going to walk right up to his face. ]

Do you feel odd?

[ He was just having a normal amount of anxiety, which spikes up when Owner gets that close to him. ]

No.

[ This is a normal reaction when a guy gets this close. ]

[ help

he does not move back ]

Really? Maybe I'm imagining it...

Uh... do you need to be this close?

Is it bothering you?

[ OBVIOUSLY IT IS. HE'S ANXIOUS. ]

[ Immediately takes several steps back.

Please! His anxiety! ]

I suppose it is. My apologies, Nero-sama.

[ help. ]

But have you noticed? The odd thoughts and emotions?

[ Everyone he's run into has been depressed or anxious so he

thinks nothing is wrong. ]

... No? What are you noticing?

[ oh.

there is so much amusement. ]

Feelings?

[ That's definitely not Nero's. ]

I'm feeling one of them now.

Oh, was that me? I apologize.

[ he does not sound very sorry. ]

Is this what sorry feels like?

It is not, no. I do think it's a little funny.

Thanks for bein' honest.

Are you bad at dealing with other people?

[ I lived in a city where people didn't talk to each other in public. ]

I'm not great at it.

... is there a reason why everyone was so private?

Huh? Oh.

There's a lot of laws, so it's easier not to break them if you stay quiet.

Really? What kind of punishments would you face?

Fines or jail time. Depends on which law they break.

It must be rather restricting, if it even limits you talking... are you okay?

I decided to live there. I don't have any problems with it. Nobody bothers prying.

So the environment you are in now is more uncomfortable?

Yeah, I'd say so. I could also leave if I wanted.

[They are trapped like rats.]

Well, I think that is a downside we all share.

[ kidnapping bad ]
