>> Route 1, Chapter 12: All You Need Is
Previously, I was heading to hang out with Sora at the dolphin carousel!
So!
So.
Sora is looking quite cheerful, despite the situation!
She thinks she's gained a new perspective on human life.
All her human interaction before was in the context of the theme park.
Now, she's living with people who are strugging to survive and work together. Real life.
As usual, Sora's afraid she spoke out of turn. She's a bit of an odd one, but nobody's gonna get offended.
Sora's been working hard to help us since day one, so we're all grateful.
DRINK POWERTHIRST
I MEAN
This starts a reminiscense chain about a classic restaurant back home.
Sora thinks it's funny that the first thing I want to do upon getting out of here is meet up with an old lady.
Only old ladies, I'm afraid!
>No.
Had a girlfriend, broke up a long time ago.
Sora thinks this is wonderful, on account of never having had the experience.
WHAT IS LOVE
Baby don't oh I can't even do it anymore that meme is so tired.
BALLS TO THE WALL
>I can explain it.
Despite my bravado, this is a hell of a hard question!
Sora, while I think it over, will describe her notion of love.
Plants: Do not love.
Animals: Might love.
Humans: Love.
Love is what humans are programmed to do, partially in the aim of reproduction but also possibly carrying some independent purpose.
Here we go!
LOVE TRANSCENDS LOGIC.
Why does a flower bloom?
Why does a canary sing?
We are put on this world to love.
The meaning of love is the meaning of life.
We are in agreement, then, that a human's purpose is to love, whether they know it or not.
Anyway, philosophy ride over.
Next time, Sora!
Sora, however, seems lost in thought about something.
I, of course, have no satisfactory answer.
And back to trying to sleep!
Such a thing is hard.
And yet somehow by the time I get out here, everyone's already waiting for me to make food for them.
YES OKAY I GET IT
YOU'RE STARVING TO DEATH BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN SANDWICH
Status report on Tsugumi!
She seems to be doing well.
And THIS.
This is why I'm the breakfast maker guy.
Sora's back on research duty. Apparently the sensors on the third floor are working a bit better.
I assure you all, everything is under control!
Unless extended conversations about the nature of love are Sora's Genocide Mode Override.
I CONFESS
>I was meeting Sora.
Some nitpicking by Kid aside, the interrogation lets up pretty quick. The power of honesty!
Eventually the topic gets around to Greek Mythology somehow!
Today's story: Pygmalion.

...Sure, good for him.
>Right, happily ever after.
Love is awesome!
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung!
Nothing you can do that can't be done!
Nine trillion years later, I escape from the endless speech.
Let's go check on Tsugumi!
You believes that she must be doing fine!
Otherwise, Sora would have said something by now.
HEY TSUGUMI HOW'S IT GOoh hell fucking goddammit what's going on.
To be continued!
