...One year has passed since my initial arrival at Discedo. Although many people have disappeared, I still remain here.

...

Who else has been at this location for over a year?

It's been more than a year for me too... though, I got to go home once.

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.

[musicboxsoldier]

...Had time pass at all when you initially returned from Discedo?

[bokuwadoctaaa]

I think I was told it had only been a few weeks, but I know that it definitely didn't feel like I was home for that amount of time. It felt a lot longer.

[musicboxsoldier]

I see.

[.....]

...I apologize if I initially frightened you back at the hospital.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

But it's okay. If I have to wait a little longer to get back home, then I can do that. I've got to be able to get the rest of my crew back home too, so I can't spend all that time being sad.

You didn't scare me though! That other guy was the one being really noisy and impatient and kind of scary. He seems kind of grumpy. ...besides, you've got nanomachines! That's still really cool!

[musicboxsoldier]

Yes, moping around will not accomplish anything.

[...It's really cool?] I... they're helpful. [When they're not rewriting his genes...]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Right! As much as I miss being with the rest of our crew and sailing on adventures, I've gotta just make sure I do my best to do whatever I can to help out everyone that's still here. We're gonna go home, we just don't know when. I need to be as patient as I can be.

[He's tiny and easily impressed. Just go with it.] I wish I was able to study about them a little, since we don't have anything like nanomachines back home.

[musicboxsoldier]

...That's a strong mindset to have.

[...] My nanomachines will not be available for studying.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

When you live here for that long, it's just better to think that way.

[...only slightly disappointed.] Oh. Th-that's okay. I wasn't going to ask you or anything. I was just saying.

[musicboxsoldier]

Indeed.

...I appreciate your assistance in my eventual chip removal.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Don't worry about it! That's just what I'm supposed to help out with as a doctor. If you ever need anything else, just ask!

[musicboxsoldier]

I'll keep that in mind.

...If you require assistance as well, contact me.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Oh, okay. Thank you!
