Nah, I'm fine. ...Look, my friend needs a little help. Can ya take care of a few guinea pigs for me? ... Or just one. I don't wanna keep your hands full.

[mustntdie]

Guinea pigs... I think I know what they are. [ what a dumb thing for her to say. ] But I don't mind. They're like pets, right? It'll be fun.

[rollin]

Uh, no, they're really pets. [ Okay, he's worried. ] Hey, you got a guy living with you here, right? He okay with it?

[mustntdie]

... Oh. Cute! Sounds very cute! ... and I did, but not anymore. I'm alone here now.

[rollin]

[ Whoa, back up. ]

What? Who's taking care of you, then? What do you eat?

[mustntdie]

Nobody.

Nobody is there. I just eat what has been pre-made before he left and snacks.

[rollin]

[ Upon hearing this, he raises his voice. ]

Why didn't you say anything? Didja think you could go on like that and no one'd notice?

[mustntdie]

[ woah, he was mad ... or so she thinks. ]

Who was I supposed to tell? I thought someone else would appear.

[rollin]

[ not mad, just worried ]

You got friends here, doncha?

[mustntdie]

[ still sounded scary. ]

Ah, right! ... Hey .. those guinea pigs ... can I give one to one of them?

Huh? Yeah, sure. That'd work out, I'll just drop the lil' guy off—

[rollin]

Wait! We're talkin' about you here! How the fuck are you supposed to live like that for the next few months, oi!?

[mustntdie]

[ she goes silent for a few seconds. ]

I ... don't know. But I'll be fine, right?

[rollin]

... Wouldja rather be with a family or live alone?

[mustntdie]

I ... well ... a family.

Then let's make a family, Stella.

[rollin]

Wait, shit.

[rollin]

I didn't mean it like that!

[mustntdie]

[ yata, you should be glad that she barely understands what you're talking about. ]

Okay... but... how?

Wait, what do you mean not like that?

[rollin]

Nevermind, it ain't important.

Anyway, what I'm tryna say is, you could move in with us 'til ya get new parents or something. Nowi 'n Kobato are good kids, they won't mind.

[mustntdie]

But I want to know!

...If you're okay with that then... sure! I don't mind.

[rollin]

[mustntdie]

I ... want to know first. Why are you doing this?

[rollin]

Well, it's like I told you, didn't I? If you run into trouble, just tell me. I gotcha. [ He hesitantly adds: ] Heroes protect people, and... not having a family's just too sad. You're a good kid, s-so I wanna do something for ya...
