Bot is the sole witness in the murder of their parents. When the case goes cold, Bot is determined to find their killer. However, MePhone, Bot's adoptive dad, is afraid that this could get the kid killed.
Deathor stared for a bit. Bot stared back, noticing how the other kid's room was decorated. Their eyes spotted something with light pink and blue stripes on the wall. "Nice flag," Bot mumbled. The crystal-filled spell jar let out a sight chuckle. "No way. No fucking way dude," he said. " You're not actually-" Bot nodded. "Yes, I'm probably who you think I am," they said. "Cool," he said, "Names Crystal Jar. Everyone just calls me CJ."

Bot sifted in their chair a bit. "Hey, uh... I'm sorry that happened to you," CJ sighed. "Seeing your parents like that..." "Those eyes..." Bot muttered. "I will never forget those vicious, sinister eyes." CJ looked at Bot with sympathy. Bot wiped a tear away. "So I uh, take it that you're interested in the case too." "Are you kidding?" He said, "This case has become a long-time fixation of mine. I'm glad I actually have a chance to talk to you. I've done my own investigation and I've uncovered something." Bot sniffled. "I'm sorry if I'm going too fast... understand if you need time to-" "No no, it's fine... what did you find?"
MePhone watched as Bot walked down the last few stairs, the next morning. "Morning Bot, want anything for breakfast?" He asked. "I'll have pancakes," Bot said. "Ah good, OJ just made a fresh batch. They're in the kitchen. Get a plate and help yourself," he said. Bot nodded. MePad monitors Bot from where he's sitting before turning to MePhone. "My sensors detect a shift in Bot's mood," he said, in a tone that was trying to emulate concern. "Ah, see. I told you moving back would bring them closure," MePhone said. "Are you sure it's closure, sir?" MePad asked. "Oh absolutely," MePhone said shoving a pancake in his mouth.
Bot sat down and began to eat. "Sleep well, kiddo?" MePhone asked awkwardly. "Yeah," they said, before taking a bite. They finished before talking again. "I made a friend earlier." "Oh, that's great," MePhone said. He leaned towards MePad. "See, closure." "Sir, I'm not sure you know what that means-" "Is it okay if I spend time in Mom's old lab today?" Bot asked. MePhone and MePad go quiet. MePhone thought. "I don't see why not," he then said. Bot smiled and finished eating before heading off. "What did I tell you, closure," MePhone said. MePad just stood there shaking his head like, "no".
