oh that I really appreciate your concern, but I think you might be overstating my relationship with the little guy it's not like I was planning to take him home or anything
I'm sure! it's okay I mean we did wipe out another dozen exactly like him plus it's a strong possibility that none of them were real in the first place? so there's that
[whoa. she definitely did not see that coming, and it's heavy. she takes a few minutes to respond, with "Ami is typing..." popping up now and then as she tries to start and then backspaces.]

Well, Ami did tell him about the alien thing, so maybe it was only fair]

the way she was talking about people
