What an odd task.

[And actually....yeah! Why Siffrin? Why not Maomao, or one of the other science/medicine types?]

[He nods, though, even though he's rolling through all these thoughts in his head. This IS a lot to think about. And Siffrin....was shouldering this all this time,]

I think you made the right choice. I would choose that too. [...] You really have been dealing with so much. The burden you were made to carry...that's too much for just a couple of people.

[siriuspuns]

Haha, not the first time this happens...

[ But it's not any less frustrating. At this point, he's not sure if it's better or worse that he's not looping. ]

[robopriest]

Well. One day, I hope the burden lessens, Siffrin.

[He's sincere about that.]

[siriuspuns]

[ (You're not sure it ever will.)

They wince as they take a deep breath. It feels like they're getting stabbed under the ribs. ]

Well, it won't happen until I get out of here, so...I'll be counting on your help, partner!

[robopriest]

Aw, that's very sweet of you.

[But there is one question he has-]

Just curious, though. Why me? Why not more scientifically-minded people?

[siriuspuns]

I didn't know you'd be so self-conscious.

[ But Siffrin shrugs. ]

I guess... I just needed someone I could trust.

[robopriest]

...That makes me happy.

[Especially after how their last conversation went. How Siffrin left.]

Anyways. When its the time to do so, lead the way and show me what you've been up to...partner.

[ More expectations, more chances to disappoint people.

Siffrin’s chest hurts. Not as much anymore, but still enough to be a problem. But at the same time, they have a glimmer of hope.

(Is that dangerous?)]

As long as you don’t mind.
