Chapter 12 – It goes on vacation


“Hey, Thia? Did your dad mention anything about taking you anywhere for the break?”


“It’s summoner did not.”


“Then... do you want to go anywhere?”


“It does not. It prefers Home.”


“Really? You don’t ever feel like... spreading your wings and seeing the rest of the world?”


“It does not. It lacks the necessary biology for winged flight.”


“Strange thing to say for a goose.”


“It is not a goose.”


“Anyway, are you sure you’re sure? I thought you loved learning new things, Thia. Seeing the world will broaden your horizons.”


“It has already seen all there is to see in the world.”


“The internet doesn't count. Come on. Let's go somewhere.”


“It refuses.”


“It'll be an overall benefit though.”


“Incorrect. Travel is overall neutral. It requires a Price for the Task.”


“Phew... baby steps. Baby steps. Okay, how about we go to the park?”


“The distance from Home to Park is 2.4 kilometers. The Ask is not large.”


“I'll buy you an ice cream on the way.”


“The Task and Price are Just. It obeys.”






Chapter 13 – It has a Daughter | Wife


“Clarify: Wife is formal agreement of Terms for companionship until death?”


“Thia, can you just eat your ice cream and stop bringing this up? I think my face is going to explode.”


“Understood.”


"..."


“. . .”


"..."


“It has finished It's icecream. Clarify: Wife is formal agreement of Terms for companionship until death?”


“Thia... do we have to keep talking about this? I'm dying.”


“It will pursue this matter until the Truth is found. Amy is not dying.”


"...Hhhhhhhhhh..."


“It reiterates: Wife is formal agreement of Terms for companionship until death?”


"...Yeah, in a nutshell. That's pretty much true for most religions anyway.”


“Understood. It posits: Dad is It's Wife.”


“Hkkhhhhh.”






Chapter 14 – It has a Daughter | Wife | more than a friend


“Thia, you're seriously killing me. It’s been like a whole week. Can you please stop bringing this up?”


“It refuses. The Truth has not yet been settled.”


"...Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."


“Clarify: It has been called Amy's Friend.”


"Uh huh."


“Clarify: Define friend.”


"...Remind me what you said about... wives... again?”


“It reiterates: Wife is formal agreement of Terms for companionship until death.”


"...Uh. Yeah. Well if we're going off what you said before... about... w-wives... then I guess friends are... I guess they kind of have an ‘informal agreement of terms for companionship until they just decide not to any more?’"


“Understood.”


"I'm not sure I want to know what you understood from that. I don't think I even understand what I just said."


“It understands that Amy is not It's wife, but Amy is more than It's friend.”


“Y-y-y-yo-y-you m-m-m-w-wha f-f-fr-fre m-m-ha?”


“It returns the fleeting soul to Amy's body.”


"..."


“It wonders what Amy is thinking?”


"Meep."


“It is perplexed by such thoughts.”






Chapter 15 – It has an Daughter | Wife | More than a friend | unofficial Wife


“It has come to a conclusion.”


"Meep?"


“Clarify: there are no lifelong Terms set between Amy and It?”


"Meep."


“Clarify: Amy wishes to stay companions with It until death?”


"...Meep."


“Understood. It proposes that the role of Amy is It's unofficial Wife.”


"..."


“It tethers Amy's soul back to her body.”


"Squee."


“Amy’s soul is properly housed.”
