[ System Overload ]

(Pochi's perspective, yes again)

Pochi's lost in thought, not the first time for him.

-

"Pochi! You seem a tad lost in thought, something on your mind? Or someone?" Vanilla sat down next to me, I looked up from my dangling legs that I had been repeatedly swinging in the air.

"Hm? Oh, hi Vanilla. To answer your question, I have a lot going through my mind. So yes." I mumbled. "Well yeah, of course! Same! Especially with all that's been happening, I get it." Vanilla giddily replied, I nodded in response. I thought deeper for a moment, my mind was a little fried up from the zaps back in the school building, but I could still sort of think. "Honestly, I think one specific persons been stuck on my mind lately.."

"Really!?" Vanilla made an.. odd squealing-like sound. The kind of sound people make when they hear gossip, or something. "Pochi thinking of a specific someone! Now that's a first. Is it a crush?"

My face flushed and I nearly flinched in shock. "Wh-what?! No of course not! I-it's Reycho who's been on my mind, I wouldn't have a crush anyway. My programming doesn't say anything about romantic relationships or anything like that, not that I know of."

"Mhmmm... sureee." She said sarcastically, or so I think. "Anyway what've you been thinking on about Reycho? He does seem pretty interesting if I'm being honest, him suddenly having emotions and all that."

"Yeah but.. I've been more thinking about- uhm.. How will he really ever forgive me? How do I even approach a subject like that? H-how will we even be friends..?" I uttered. Vanilla silently lost eye contact with me, well not really. I never usually make proper eye contact. She also seemed a little bit lost at my questions too. "Well.. considering Reycho's personality, he seems pretty selfless. He's too nice to not forgive you! Honestly, Pochi you think of yourself way too low. You're a great perso- er... being!"

I smiled, it was nice to hear that. Though truly, it didn't really convince me. I don't deserve their forgiveness. I shook away that thought, shaking my head like a puppy that was splashed with water. I'd deal with those emotions.. Later. Probably. "It's okay. Y-you can run off now, I see Aniki and Pai with the ice cream for everyone. I'll just be thinking, don't worry about me." I waved Vanilla off and went back to leaning on the bench, lost in thought. Watching Reycho and Kansai, still practicing ball together.

...

Honestly I felt worse now that I was alone.

"Maybe I should just pull him aside and talk to him right now.." I thought aloud.
