**After the Kraken was dealt with, the slightly battered ship finally reached English shores. It was time to thank the Captain for everything he had done, say farewell, and put KAITO's wheelchair to the test. They're unloading everything they'll need for exploring.**

It's-- [she pauses] Well, he--

...he belongs to him. [Points to Kaito.]

1/???

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

He... belongs ... to him?

[she turns quickly to Kaito]

Then, then! Could you be ... [She's making vague gestures. It looks like she's flailing about]

[futureforbirds]

Um... yes?

[abovethewall]

[since Kaito is so eloquent, Mekaito looks over at him]

This is my master.

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

["Master" is the same in English as it is in Japanese, so there's no ambiguity here...]

You're human!

[futureforbirds]

... Oh!

That's right.

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

[SCORE]

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

How many of you are human?

[futureforbirds]

E-eh? Well, just me...

DONE

[GOOD ENOUGH brb telling the other Engloids]

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[Blinks. Wow, she seems enthusiastic.]

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

[Meanwhile, the others are just looking at Sonika like she's crazy. Which has, you know, crossed their minds more than once. ...way more than once.]

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

[English!]

They said he's their master! Isn't it good?

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

Are you sure it ain't someone pretendin' to own someone else? I mean, y'know...

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

Eh... SM??

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

No. [She's gonna have a migraine at this rate.] She means like us.

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

Oh, right.

But, not even we pretend to be the master...

[since they couldn't do it even if they tried.]

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but what if they found a loophole? We shouldn't just jump to conclusions.

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

I don't know if a loophole like that exists, but we should keep watchin' just in case.

Especially that guy. Let's keep an eye on 'im.

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

... We would say we were human, if someone asked. They might be the same...

But even if they're robots with loopholes, that's better than what we have now. I just want to sing again.

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

Say, Ann. Did you see the one in the wheelchair? You're a doctor now, so you should look into that. It could strengthen our bonds with that man.

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

[She nodded.] Got it. Should be no problem -- not with these hands o' mine!

[Insert pose here.]

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

That's brilliant, Ann! Good idea, Prima.

...If that man really is human though, I want to cut his hair...!

[leftpretending.livejournal.com]

If he is, you'll have plenty of chances to.

[right-to-tweet.livejournal.com]

....!

Ooh... right! Hehehe.
