[Shuffling noises can be heard, then a soft clunk and a startled yelp. A moment later, after some fidgeting, a slow clinking noise of gears winding together follows.]

I... it spins...

It spins!

Who fixed my drill? Wh-who did it?! Whoever it was, thank you! It works now~! It works just like before!

....I-I wanna dig somewhere...

[herobydefault]

Ha ha, found your drill, huh? I was wondering when you would.

[dawndigger]

Papa! You knew it was--

Did you fix it?! You shoulda told me! Thank you, thank you, thank you~!!

[herobydefault]

N-no, kiddo, no, I didn't fix it. It...

Well, it was your future self, actually. You fixed your drill.

[dawndigger]

.....I did?

.........

Really?

[herobydefault]

You think I'd lie about that?

[dawndigger]

N-no! Papa never lies! I just...

Wow... I didn't know I could do anything like that...

[herobydefault]

Well, you can. Or you will, anyways; so believe in yourself a little more, okay Simon?

[dawndigger]

Someday...

O-okay! I'll try to believe, Papa! I-I'll, um... I'll believe in me!

[herobydefault]

Do you...ever think you'll try and dig again sometime?

[dawndigger]

I want to... I... I really miss it. But I can't see... s-so it'd be hard.

And I'm... kinda scared...

[herobydefault]

Hm. I can understand that. If you're still afraid, don't rush it. But you know if you want me to be with you, all you have to do is make the tunnels big enough so I can fit inside. And I can be your eyes for you, too; even if we can't find your goggles again, I can see pretty well in the dark.

[dawndigger]

Papa, you...

... you want to come digging with me...? You wouldn't mind?

[herobydefault]

Of course not. I'd enjoy it. I've always wanted to see you digging, since you seem to do it so insanely fast; I wanna see what your secret is.

[dawndigger]

Secret? There's no secret to it, silly. I just dig where it's soft.

You should try digging too! It's fun!

[herobydefault]

Mmm, I don't think I've got that particular gift. Besides, I'll be happy just watching you do it. You like it a lot more than I would.

[dawndigger]

Well, okay. We'll dig together then! It'll be fun!
