The little computers that turn sound into sound I can hear. I was born almost completely deaf. But now I hear. It's MAGIC.

[shipitsupersonic]

Okay. Not your real ears. That makes a little more sense.

[protective_logic]

They cut open my head and put things in my brain. I've had brain surgery. There were lots of hugs.

[shipitsupersonic]

[Hopefully Delta can't hear the slight gagging.]

After brain surgery? They should have given you a lot of hugs. All the hugs.

[protective_logic]

And before. It's nice. I like hugs too. Hugs are good. I miss hugs. But it's okay because I'm an adult and my nose stopped bleeding.

[shipitsupersonic]

Don't you have a house full of family to give you hugs? I bet now that you're not bleeding, they will.

[protective_logic]

Can't ask. Meggy doesn't believe me. The littles get upset. Another brother is mad and gone, the other at his place. So just me, on my bed, floating flying happy with no pain and no sound. It's so quiet. You don't know what quiet is. I know what quiet is. Did you really say the things I think you said?

[shipitsupersonic]

[A chuckle] I'm sorry, but the guy I knew would stroke out if anyone called him Meggy.

I suppose that depends on what you think I said.

[protective_logic]

Meggy doesn't like it either. Cause he was a kid. But he's bigger now, like weeds grow.

I don't remember. It was about me being old.

[shipitsupersonic]

I remember making sure you were old enough to drink.

...your brother is a weed and there's a universal constant among guys named Meg. Of course, that's not his real name.

[protective_logic]

Okay, I guess I don't remember what I remember remembering. It's okay. It's like that when I'm a kite.

Weed. Bashoom! Shoots up. Takes over. Prickles.

[shipitsupersonic]

It's okay, if you remember later you can ask me.

That is very vivid imagery. But you know what they say about weeds. They're just flowers you don't like where they grow. Not mich of a problem on this planet.

[protective_logic]

He hasn't bloomed. All he is is prickles.

Okay. Sorry to bother you. I'll stop. Turn off the pad. Can't watch stuff. Nose hurts, glasses still cooling from repair. It's quiet. Really quiet. Like it's gonna swallow me up.

[shipitsupersonic]

You're not bothering me. 💛

[protective_logic]

My datapad turned the noise you made into a little picture of a heart. It's cute.

[shipitsupersonic]

Is it yellow?

[protective_logic]

My datapad makes all text green. I like green. Green is life. Yellow is...

I don't like yellow.

[shipitsupersonic]

I'm not really a fan of it either. Let me see if they have green. 💚

There we go.

[protective_logic]

What did you do?

[shipitsupersonic]

U+1F49x and A. It's unicode. So when your datapad hears it, it shows 💚.

[protective_logic]

And you just sed it out loud and it worked?

[shipitsupersonic]

You have to say "unicode id" first. See? ✈

[protective_logic]

Interesting. That's cute.

Okay, 'nother quest. This one is good. If you were a story, what kind of story would you be?

[shipitsupersonic]

I...that is a good question. I'll have to think about it.

[protective_logic]

Okay. Guess I should sleep.
