[comic panels be like bam here's some info you probably weren't ready to share yet
but it's fine, she kind of... suspected? not like this, not to this extent, but ryuki said something to her a week ago that made her pause. she doesn't let go, because it's not like this changes anything about the way nimona feels about her.
[ comic panels be like we have a job to do dammit.
miss tama the AI. at this point i, personally, have given up not using her ai-ball icons on main because they’re too funny. ]
…
[ she laughs. ]
We’re pretty advanced, secret tech honestly. [ still hugging nimona though all this. ] But— well. I’ve never been alone, because I’ve always had Ryuki. But outside of Ryuki and a few others, we’re not exactly known to people. There’s a lot of people I’ve met and worry about who don’t know I exist.
[she has not let go and refuses to. tama is safe, and she won't admit it, but she needs that.]
I wish you'd gotten to tell me yourself. Instead of me seeing it. [if tama would ever, but - past that.] I don't think I've ever known anybody like you.
I think it's become harder to not really talk about it, even if we probably were avoiding it at first out of habit. Although not many people have actually asked me why my item has the same name as me and why I'm carrying an eye around.
[ one person, actually. ]
Well, sure. I'm not unique, but I'm definitely a rarity. There's a couple of other AI-Balls in ABIS -- but only one Tama.
You’d be surprised. I did get asked if the eyeball was me or not a little while ago, so I guess that’s one way around it. Things are a bit unique here, so I wouldn’t have minded someone just asking. Whether I answered or not, that’s the difference.
See? [ holds up hand for a high five. don’t leave her hanging. ] Unique, and super cute. That makes people lucky to know us, right?.
See? A little of that on the regular, and you’ll be surprised that you’ll start to believe it. It probably won’t be a fast process though, but— I think you can do it.

I guess. [she's still struggling with self-image, but. she's working on it.] We are pretty awesome.
[she can do that much.]
