Chapter 43 – It lives with Amy (2)

“Thia, do you want to live together?”

“It already lives together with Amy.”

“Hah... That's true. But I meant in a new place. An Amy and Thia’s place. The books have been doing well. Surprisingly well, actually. I think it’s because my precious, cute, wonderful muse keeps coming to all the book signings.”

“It accepts the premise. Continue.”

“The Author x Muse fan art is... hah. Anyway. I can finally afford the house that we were talking about the other day—uh, the other decade, I guess. It’s really been a minute, huh..."

“Understood.”

“Honestly, it doesn’t even really matter to current-Amy any more... but I feel like it’s something that past-Amy felt was the second most important thing in the world. Second only to you, o’ darling apple of mine. O’ eye of my wife. And I feel like she would be really happy to have proof—real, permanent proof—that our everything was enough for you.”

“It has always considered Amy’s Everything and It’s Everything to be equal.”

“I know. I finally get it now. I finally feel the same way. Finally. Finally catching up to my wise and sagely Thia who’s always been three steps ahead.”

“It has the experience of Time.”

“Thia, two months doesn’t—hah. You’re such a goose.”

“Incorrect. It’s current configuration is human.”

“Stinky bean. Anyway, I found the perfect place. It’s not too far from dad. You’ll be able to come back and see him any time you want. It’s near a park. It’s got windows—which isn’t really that big of a deal. Actually, it’s kind of more like the bare minimum... and also a legal requirement for bedrooms... but they’re nice windows?”

“Understood.”

“And we’ll get to see each other every day. Well, honestly, since I moved in, we already get to see each other everyday. But it’ll be different. Now we’ll get to see each other every day in a new place! You'll never get away from me! You’ll get to see me so much you'll get sick.”

“It will not get sick.”

“Figure of—wait, that's actually true. Thia, aren't you kind of amazing?”

“It has known this name before.”

“You’ve really never been sick, have you?”

“It confirms.”

“I feel like we should talk about that more some day. But anyway! Unnatural health aside... Do you want to move in?”

“Clarify: moving to Amy and Thia's Home will increase Time spent with Amy?”

“It'll be a place for just the two of us, so we’ll have nothing if not time together. We can spend every day together. Every night together—” Amy coughed. “Every hour and every minute together if you want to.”

“Understood. Clarify: moving in will make Amy happy?”

“Super duper happy. My Thiameter will be maxed out every single day. But I still want us to visit dad a lot. So we can just go back and forth between homes whenever we feel like it, okay? It’s just... this is just something I’ve always wanted. Having a place for just us.”

“Understood. Living together with Amy will be Overall Beneficial. It will live with Amy.”

“Sorry it took so long.”

“It is not concerned by the passage of Time.”

“Love you, Thia.”

“It accepts the premise. Continue.”

“After we move out.”
