Hey, Flat Guy . . .

Is he dead?

Nah, we're me! I'm me . . . we're us, we're him. Of course I'm not just a Noah! I'm not like Ticky or Rhode. We're all different parts!

Humans like you? Even though you're not as good as them? Maybe they're just fooling you!

Ticky and Rhode are other Noahs? I haven't met them yet. So if you're not just a Noah, I don't have to be just another Manikin, right? I can be okay with who I am, just like you can be okay with who you are!

Well, maybe they are! If so, I guess I'm okay with being fooled a little, because it feels really nice. I don't know though. It's really my first time dealing with humans -- do you think they'd be fooling me?

It feels good to be fooled? Stupid! Of course they'd do it! Behind your back--don't you think they laugh at you and treat you like the monster you are? That's what humans are like!

It feels nice to be treated like a friend!

...Well, maybe they do. Back home, I know that there's a lot of people who think we're just mud dolls. But people here seem nice, and I think it'd be a really lonely way to live, always disbelieving how people act towards you.

I don't need anyone who's just laughing at me!

But what if they aren't? What if they mean it?

How can you tell?

Hmm... I think the people who don't mean it will talk down to you, even if they aren't outright nasty to you. Because if people already think that way, if they really think they're better than you, they're not going to talk to you like you're the same.

Right?

Right! Stupid humans . . .

So if they don't talk down to you, maybe they really like you.

Maybe I don't like them.

Well, I guess you don't have to like someone just because they like you.

Uh-huh, I made a friend! ♪
