Does anyone know why people lose their memories when they lose their network access?

Uh. Kara's forgotten everything. I was out pouring snow on the fires, and then... yeah. Our dog's gone, too, but I guess it's because she got him from Retrospec. Most of my friends forgot, too. It feels pretty lonely around now, but... anyway, just letting you guys know.

[I mean.]

...hey, do you know what happens to the stuff we get back after we lose it? With our memories. ...I just wanna know if the Retrospec people have to take care of Krypto now.

It depends, I think. But for a living thing, they wouldn't just put it down. I'm sure someone is looking after your dog.

[And if they aren't, they will have to have Words.]

[sniff, cling]

Thanks. I hope it's all fine. I just... I'm scared.

Everyone is, sometimes. Me too. But it'll be alright.

Thanks. I'll do my best. ...I guess we just gotta focus on saving the city right now, right?

Right. That's all we can do right now, so let's do a good job, okay?

Yeah. Sorry. Thanks a lot. You're doing okay too, right?

Better and more stable than I've been for a while.

-oh, I almost forgot, but Isamu isn't my robot, he's a coworker.

You mean like a robot maid off, like, every show about the future?

He's actually supposed to work for the police, so I don't think it's exactly the same.

You mean, in the other world?

Yes, but also here. Togusa got him back.

And now his robot friend works for the library? That's nice of him.

Togusa and I want Isamu to experience something more than just being a weapon, even if that's what he was made to be. Maybe especially because that's what he was made to be.

Yeah. That sounds really nice. Then he can decide what he really wants, huh? If robots can do that. Can they?

This one can. He likes chocobos, and snowball fights, and taking care of books. I know none of that was programmed in.

It sounds pretty nice. So he learns like anyone else?

He's currently analyzing 'hugs'.

[Guess who hugged the robot. Guess.]

Heh, that's pretty cute, actually.

He's the cutest robot I've ever met.

[Shuji has not met all that many.]

Yeah, I -- [She holds her head suddenly.] ...huh.

Robot memory?

[There are only so many reasons people interrupt themselves in the middle of sentences.]

Sorry... Yeah. I mean, I don't know if she was a cute robot, I guess sort of? But I don't usually think that about people who are trying to kill me. But then she wasn't doing that anymore? I don't know.

Maybe once she calmed down she was cute?

[Girl robots often are.]

I dunno, I kind of was trying not to die. But she ended up helping us in some... I don't know, some big battle I barely remember.
