[ she does think about it. ] But, everyone else seems to think he can fit the role as a father. I'm not sure if familiars and creations have... parents.
[ she offers a small smile. ] I think, it would be nice though, to have him as one. He takes very good care of me.
Who cares if they do or don't? [A little bluntly but, like, still trying to keep in mind Meteion is a child.] In the end, it's up to you to define your relationships and your place in this world. So, if you consider him a father...
[ Despite a bit of a teenish appearance, she really does have an incredibly youthful personality. Nogiku is valid. ]
..It means a lot, to hear you say that. I don't think.. any of the researchers would really think the same way. [ and yet, Nogiku here feels differently than them, more open. there's a genuine smile on her. ] It makes me happy.
[ NOGIKU BABY?! oh my god i forgot she's nineteen, she is baby... ]
I.. don't know who I want to be. [ it's said so genuinely too. ] I've been.. happy, just to stay by Hermes' side, and help him. I haven't really given.. something like that, any thought.
Hmm... You don't need to have it all figured out right now. But in this place, where it feels like time stretches on for far too long, it's something you could think about.
[This is still memshare week, though. And the bubble is still here, waiting for Nogiku to feed it some memories. She stares at it with a frown, hesitating.]

Nogiku remains silent for a moment after the memory ends, not sure what to make of it.]
So... That's Hermes. He's the man you were looking for when we first met, right?

Well... Good. I don't care for the researchers' opinions and neither should you. Who do you want to be, Meteion?

also glances at the bubble... ah. she wishes she didn't feel pressured to-- ] I-It's okay, Nogiku. Maybe if I.. share color again, it'll go away?
no subject
[It's just... well. She closes her eyes, briefly, and lifts a hand.]
I'm really sorry, Meteion. I hope you don't see anything unpleasant.
[And with that, she touches her finger tips to the bubble.]
no subject
[ more assurance. she won't blame her for it. though as the memory plays and she watches, she tilts her head as if.. not entirely comprehending. ]
That was.. your mother?
no subject
[She nods, somber.]
Yes. She's... gone now, of course.
