It has been a solid hour or so until we rounded up onto the last stamp. You would assume that with there being five of us, we would have gotten finished faster, but we decided to also have fun while on this adventure around the park. We rode some of the rides like the roller-coaster around the castle, the Ferris Wheel─which amazed me because I was so sure that it wouldn't operate─, and a few other ones. We also obtained non-stamps as well like plushies and other things people would get at amusement parks.

I had fun on each ride we rode─even if I was also horrified on some since the park is like thirty thousand years old and a lot of the rides were really rusted and seemed broken down. But, the most enjoyable part was witnessing the joy that came across the androids' faces especially after they were confused on why we, as humans, had so many things like the contraptions at the park to have fun on.

Genuinely, the more I thought about it, the more I apprehended that if I wasn't there the androids would have no idea why we honestly liked things like these. So, it made me glad that I could teach them what I could about us, the ones they were made after.

As we were trekking to the theatre, three familiar white-headed humanoids decided to make their debut. However, they didn't really spot us at first. They appeared to be looking at a map of some sort.

9S noticed my concentration was elsewhere and followed it, seeing the same sight as I. He was a wee bit alarmed to the point that he ended up picking me up and giving me a piggy-back ride. But, he wasn't so alarmed that it conveyed over to 32S, 2X, or 1X.

"No fair! One, let me on your back!" 2X whined after she saw 9S let me onto his. The taller male groaned, however, he obliged. Now, all we required was one other person and 32S would be able to get a piggy-back ride himself.

Unfortunately, this also caught the attention of Adam, Eve, and Luciel. And, then they started to make a b-line for us. 1X lastly noticed as he slipped 2X and him to the area in between 9S and me and the three machine lifeforms.

"Wait~!" Luciel cried out, "we aren't here to ruin your fun!"

"We... uh... need some help," Eve added on as we halted in our steps and altered to face them.

"You three need help?" Nines returned, a little sceptical.

"Yes." Adam huffed out. He doesn't appear too pleased that his brothers requested for our assistance. "We're trying to accomplish the stamp collecting thing and we are a little... lost."

I softly giggled at his 'trying to act like we don't actually need your help' attitude. I then wiggled out of Nines' hold and stepped up to the three. I might have had a few other encounters with the three within the last month, so I wasn't petrified of them anymore. "We'll help," I grinned.

1X stared at me like I just massacred someone, "'We'll help'? Are you insane?"

"Yes! And perhaps I am. But, even if they are machines, they are still people." I returned, which just shocked One even more. Well, not just him; my words kinda shocked everyone. "Huh? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, no, you didn't!" Nines hastily answered with an underlying hint of panic. "You didn't say anything wrong... we're just bewildered that you see us as people."

"And not as androids or machines," Adam concluded.

Oh.

"Well, you're just as human as I am," I expressed, glancing at them all, "You look, sound, think, act, and feel emotions like humans. Even if you don't notice it or understand it... I know the YoRHa androids aren't allowed to feel emotions, but that's just suppressing the fact that you can. And the machine lifeforms, you feel them but you just don't understand them correctly─or that's what it seems like for some of your non-humanoid kind."
