(Y/n) then looked at her feet, now calm enough not to cry. "I... I never thought about it" (Y/n) mumbled. "But... Now I do... No"
"And why is that so?" Okina said.
"Because I made a promise to dad I would go to space," (Y/n) said, looking at him as Honey and Trois took a step back. "... Plus... From the very beginning, it has been a scary thought to go to space. I would be leaving the ones I love behind. Like, mom and my friends. But if I do, I can learn more. And if they weren't happy for me doing what I want to, then they aren't true friends."
"You are a very straightforward girl," Okina said. "I like people like you."
"I just say things how I see them," (Y/n) mumbled, holding her stomach. "My stomach hurt, though... Maybe even worst than the tattoo. Why?"
"It's called hunger," Okina said.
"Wow! This is what it feels like to be hungry?! That's cool! But I don't like it. If I'm going to feel like this all the time, then I don't wanna take pills for it," (Y/n) said.
"If you eat, it won't hurt," Okina said.
"That makes sense~" (Y/n) mumbled. "So... The robot lady... Why is she here?" (Y/n) then gasped and looked at Trois. "We can make a robot!!"

(Y/n) has been at the prison for a month now; at first, she would go to Honey's and Trois's cell once a week, but she eventually got Hajime's trust and went there every day now. And Hajiume's brother got them books and (Y/n) would sit there and read something when she got confused and refused to allow Trois to tell her how to do something unless she absolutely didn't know how. But Trois helped her make a small toy car that a remote can control. And finally finished the toy car, and (Y/n) was ecstatic.
"Hitoshi!! Look! We did it!" (Y/n) said, running up to the crossdresser in the cell with the car.
"That's amazing! I also got more books for you. They are about the engineering of a rocketship. I think this will help you get started," Hitoshi said, smiling at the girl.
"You're the best! Thank you so much, Trois! It's thanks to you that we actually got it done!" (Y/n) giggled, turning to Trois.
"No problem, really. I love helping out an adorable girl," Trois said.
"14, come on. Time to go back to your cell," Hajime said, walking in. "And why is the cell door open? Hitoshi?"
"Can she stay just a little longer, big brother~?" Hitoshi said.
"No, those four are whining that 14 isn't there and that she is fun to hang out with. If she keeps them entertained and out of trouble, then so be it... But all she does is give them lessons about what she is learning and also about space. I don't understand why they like it so much," Hajime said. "What do you teach them exactly?"
"The stars, moons, planets, really everything, and anything. Space is a lot more interesting than a lot of people think. Like how there is a planet thought to be made out of diamonds. People call it the alien planet or super-Earth, but its formal name is 55 Cancri e and was found in 2004 around a nearby star in our Milky Way galaxy. But since it's 40 light-years away, so no one is sure yet if that theory is true" (Y/n) said.
"Out of diamonds?" Honey said. "That sounds like a planet I want to live on."
"I don't recommend it unless you want to wear a suit for the rest of your life and be hot. 55 Cancri e is tidally locked, meaning it always keeps the same face pointed at its star. On the dayside, temperatures on 55 Cancri e can reach about 4,400 degrees Fahrenheit, 2,427 degrees Celsius. On the nightside, temperatures can dip to about 2,025 degrees F, 1,107 degrees C" (Y/n) said.
"You do know a lot," Hitoshi giggled. "That's quite interesting. But why is it called the super-earth planet?"
"Because it's nearly twice Earth's width and eight times its mass" (Y/n) said.
"Come on, number 14. It's getting late, and you still haven't eaten dinner yet," Hajime said. (Y/n) looked at Hajime, then walked up to the window and looked at the stary sky.
"Can we make a telescope next?" (Y/n) said, turning to Trois. "... From here, I can see the Draco constellation. If I have a telescope, I would be able to see my favorite Nebula."
"Sure," Trois smiled at her. She was really a beauty... But he and Honey were 20, so they were four years older than her. Not too many years, but Honey and Trois would be stuck in prison longer if she did date one of them. So they were both fine staying with her as a friend until she was 18.
"14, stop stalling, let's go!" Hajime said, grabbing (Y/n)'s wrist. (Y/n) panicked, seeing someone else other than Hajime, and quickly kicked Hajime as hard as she could to get away from him, which worked.
The boys were surprised. Especially Hajime. He just let a weak girl kick him away. He thought she did it to stay in the cell longer, but when he looked (Y/n) in the eyes, he saw nothing but fear.
