Chapter 5 - It experiences winter
“Thia, don’t you ever feel cold in just a uniform?”
“It cannot feel cold.”
“But you’re not even wearing gloves or anything.”
“It reiterates.”
“Really? Let me feel your hands, then.”
“It does not like to be touched.”
“Right, okay. But how about, like, just for a second?”
“It relents.”
"..."
“One.”
“Thia, what the hockey puck! Your hands are freezing!”
“Incorrect. It’s hands are not freezing.”
“You’re so cold! What do you mean you’re not freezing?”
“It clarifies: It is merely cold. It is not freezing.”
“I thought you literally just said that you weren't cold? Twice, even.”
“Incorrect. It said: ‘It cannot feel cold.’”
"...That's literally the same thing! If you're cold just say so!”
“It does not understand the purpose.”
“If you just told me you were cold, I could lend you my hoodie, or we could go somewhere warm, or—or—or... or we could h-hold hands to warm up or something.”
“It still does not understand.”
"...What don't you understand?”
“Clarify: ‘cold’ is a feeling?”
"...Yes, cold is a feeling, Thia..."
“Clarify: ‘warm’ is also a feeling?”
“Yes, Thia.”
“It does not have feelings. Thus, It's temperature is irrelevant.”
“No!”
“It seeks Clarity.”
“Warm is just better, okay? So tell me when you're cold.”
“It accepts the premise. Continue.”
“How you feel doesn't matter to you, but it matters to me, okay?”
“Understood.”
“So if warm or cold doesn't make a difference to you, then isn’t it overall beneficial to be warm? Because you being warm is a good thing for me.”
“It commends Amy’s reasoning.”
“And tell your dad that I told you to wear gloves and a hat.”
“Understood.”
"..."
“. . .”
“Actually... What about... Um. Did you not like the ones I got you?”
“It does not recall receiving gloves and a hat from Amy.”
"...Huh?”
“It reiterates.”
"..."
“It wonders why Amy has stopped walking.”
"..."
“. . .”
"...Thia?”
“It listens.”
“Is everything okay? Are you okay?”
“It's body currently has no issues. It's summoner has taken It to Doctor multiple times to confirm.”
“I... Okay. If the doctor says so..."
“It confirms. Doctor said so.”
“You're such a goose.”
“Incorrect. It’s current form is human.”
“Typical goose response. Are you learning bad habits from your mom?”
“It does not have a Mom.”
"..."
“. . .”
"...Sorry. I... Sorry.”
“It is not bothered.”
“Anyway, I just... I want you to know that I’ll always be there for you. So If you ever want to talk about anything, just remember that I’m here for you, okay?”
“Understood.”
“Anything at all. Any time.”
“Understood.”
“I mean it.”
“Understood.”
"...I'm such an idiot.”
