... He's not here, son.

[kindly_done]

Do you know where he is?

I wasn't supposed to go on my own, I just wanted to see...I'm gonna be in trouble.

[worldentire]

Not here, and that's all that matters.

[pauses, thinks for a moment, looking the video over]

Say, how old're you?

[kindly_done]

But I'm lost and I--

[His eyes cloud; this is something that's never occurred to him]

I dunno. Nobody told me.

[jesusing_clown]

...You lost your dad?

[kindly_done]

[Smiles into the camera, now accompanied by a cheerfully buzzing security bot.]

[Holds up a wriggling ball of fur.]

Papa Suchong really did get me a puppy!

[jesusing_clown]

Oh. ...A puppy? What're you gonna call him?

[kindly_done]

Her! I'm gonna call her Celeste.

[talks_to_fish]

What puppy?

I wonder what I should call it...

[talks_to_fish]

[kindly_done]

...Is it a girl? I don't know how to tell.
