[Kotako] - For Enter/Emeric

[red_pleather]

I clear my throat, not that I need to. I guess it's just one of those things that was programmed into us. So we would appear more sympathetic, more human. Oh, I'm so nervous. I don't know if that's programmed into me, but I'm definitely very nervous.

I tap the connection.

I hope he's there.

"E-Emeric?"

I hear buttons being pressed, then he appears on the screen. My mouth icon turns up at the edges, then up some more.

"Emi," I say happily. "You look wonderful. Thank you!"

She's smiling. Well, at least I could do that for her still.

"Thank you for the compliment," I say quietly, a reflex she had instilled in me when I was younger. "I really should go, though. Before..." Before anyone finds out. Before the Go-Busters track me here. Before I hurt her any more.

Such good manners, still. I don't know what's happened to him, but he's still a good person.

"You go if you have to," I tell him hastily. "I'll see you soon, okay? And I want a full explanation about everything when I do!"

"Oui, oui, oui," I can't imagine her ever making it out of their base. There's no way Etienne will let her, at the very least. "Of course, I'll tell you everything then."

It'll probably be in the afterlife, but at least I can rest assured that chances are we'll at least go to the same one. The underworld for machines.

If such a thing even exists.

"And, Ko-ko..." I smile into the camera for her. "Je t'aime."

[red_pleather]

"You'd better," I say happily. I want to sound all punish-y because I've only just got him back, sort of, and I need to look after him! But I can't. I'm just so happy to see him and talk to him, even if I can't hug him yet.

....awww.

"Me, too," I say softly. "Very much."

"Adieu, ma chérie." My voice drops to a whisper right before I cut the connection.

I'm still not crying. I guess that's not something I can do after all.
