So who's this Mr. Bubbles? I was kind of surprised to find a girl named Cindy on her own. I'm taking care of her for now, but whoever this Mister Bubbles is... you had better come pick her up soon. I get the feeling that she really misses you

Mister Bubbles is a guardian, a protector of sorts and quite frankly he is not supposed to just abandon her.
Cindy will be fine, I presume, but I can keep you company if you want?

Company would be nice, Miss Lamb, but I'm not sure how much Cindy would like it.

She thinks Sinclair is Mister Bubbles, but he isn't. And...and I think it's best if she stays away from him for now.

My girls still call me that sometimes, too.

[Her expression grows soft.] You must really miss them. Are you okay?

[Sigh.]
I miss them more every day. But I'm okay. I just heard something I didn't like. Seems like...
Well, never mind. I'll get used to it.

What is it? What's wrong?

...Listen, miss, she thinks I'm her Goddamned "Mister Bubbles", and the truth is - I'm not. I need you t'make sure she finds someone else t'help her around, because honestly I can't ... [pauses, struggles with words] I'm not ... equipped t'keep her safe. [This is only partially a lie.]

That depends on who it is. If it's that doctor Lamb it's best to leave her alone. She's not a good person. I just know it.

I don't, but that's why I'm asking first. And she really does miss the guy.
What makes you say that?

She's too nice. She's trying to get into our heads. To break down our defenses. I'm talking to two other people from her world. Neither of them said anything good about her. The person Cindy calls Mr. Bubbles said she made Cindy the way she is. That she used to be just a little girl.

Mm... [She thinks about that for a moment.] I'll be wary of her, but I'm not going to ignore her just because being "too nice" is a crime now. Call me naive, but I'm not going to judge her until I know her well. But I will be careful. Thanks.
And my advice is to be careful of that person, Sinclair. The more I hear about him, the less I like.
