[At some point before Aigis's brainwashing, Robo decided to make good on his promise to her and apologize.

Awkwardly.]

...

[a long moment of silence. A deep breath.]

I'm sorry to everyone who I hurt. It won't happen again.

[She had heard about another possible killing, and the fact he was apologizing now was worrying her a bit. There was only that, but still...]

What's going on?

[filtered]

[tickingheart]

Nothing new. I just thought I should apologize.

[filtered]

[ilmeganekko]

OK... [You better be telling the truth, because she's going to be asking about it.]

How have you been?

[filtered]

[tickingheart]

Oi oi oi. I had a lot to apologize for. From before.

I've been fine. How about you?

[bustydefense]

Are you doing all right?

[tickingheart]

I'm fine.

[mild confusion]

[bustydefense]

Good. Have you figured out how to fix yourself?

[tickingheart]

...

[confusion. confusion. searching memory banks.

oh.]

Close enough. I'm functioning properly, and I'm not going to go off and kill people again.

[personajesus]

...what happened?

[tickingheart]

I did some stuff I needed to apologize for.

[personajesus]

Oh.

[that's not an answer, though. :/]

[tickingheart]

[No. No it's not.]

[lafillebleue]

[From Aoko there is no response. Sorry, robot. :/]

[tickingheart]

[He wasn't expecting one. She hates him.]

[lafillebleue]

[More confused and upset and feeling that she likely should. Mostly she's frightened down to her core. But hate . . . unfortunately he's too like Kaito for that, though common sense indicates that she should by this point.]

[kaitopants]

[just. not quite sure how to take this, so you get a response, but it's just silence]

[tickingheart]

... Hello?

[kaitopants]

[a sigh]

... you're apologizing.

[tickingheart]

[There's only the slightest hint of a pause before he answers]

Yes.
