You know...I'd kick myself for saying this two days ago, but.

I kind of miss my little...clone-baby-thing.

Is that narcissistic?

[She looks away for a moment, wistful.]

She fell asleep on my chest once. It made me fall asleep too.

[She bites her lip, embarrassed. Maybe she should've kept that to herself. In any case, the video turns off.]

Hear that ticking?

[akapeanut]

Huh?

[itsahotone]

Your biological clock.

[akapeanut]

[...Scowl.]

I kind of doubt that. I hated the rest of it. And anyway, it was me.

[itsahotone]

You just said you missed it.

[akapeanut]

And asked if that makes me a narcissist.

[itsahotone]

[She waves that off.]

That whole 'falling asleep' thing? Totally maternal.

[Minato shook his head. He didn't think it was narcissitic.]

Why should it?

[video forever]

[akapeanut]

It's like...I miss myself? I dunno.

[jivitadana]

[Minato thought of it for a moment. And still thinking.]

But who you were then and now are different.

[akapeanut]

Yeah. I guess it just feels weird to consider myself...cute and stuff. Even if it was me as a baby.

[jivitadana]

Most kids are cute anyway, I think.

[akapeanut]

I think I was kind of a pain in the ass, though.

[jivitadana]

It was kind of a pain but you also kind of miss her?

Kids are a lot of work, but it's fulfilling work.

[Even if you're just a part-time worker and not getting paid enough to deal with terrible mothers who are always late.]

[video forever]

[akapeanut]

You seem like you're more of a kids-person than I am.

[eatsyourscience]

I worked at a day care for a year.

[akapeanut]

Wow. That's a lot of kids.

[eatsyourscience]

They were older than these ones.

[He's not sure if that made it easier or harder though.]

And I looked after my cousin.

[akapeanut]

I had my sister. But I didn't really-- you know, she might as well have been invisible, for all I cared at the time.

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji considers that. That's a weighty thing and he doesn't want to respond in the wrong way.]

How old is she?

[thinkinman]

it doesn't make you a narcissist.

[video forever]

[akapeanut]

I'm glad you think so. I just haven't felt that way about a kid before, really.

[TEXTFOREVER]

[thinkinman]

it just shows you're growing up.

...I'm not sure I follow.
