Private - Toshiko:

I think you would be proud of me... I was given reason to express anger, yet I did not. I was expected to harm or kill, but I refused.

There is a word in English for my troubles, I have found. It is 'jurisdiction'.

I felt you should know that your teachings, at least, have stayed with me and not gone ignored.

But if there was nothing wrong, there would be no need to better yourself... And-and-and Toshiiiko... I worry for you. So often with your eyes in machines and contraptions, yet rarely with smiles and laughter!

I do not feel right, knowing you have helped me, yet finding myself without a way to help you. Even if only... A little?

You help just by asking, Aleera. By noticing. I think a lot of people assume that this is just how I am, not that I'm...unhappy. But you don't. Maybe that doesn't make much sense, but it helps.

I think so... But I wish I understood better.

What do you do when you aren't...smiles and laughter?

Re: Audio

I rest.

Of find better things to do. Things to distract.

I wish you would at least eat well.

It's not as if I meant not to. I just -- I've had a funny week. That's all.

Listen very carefully, Toshiko... You know me to be tenacious and friendship among the living is a rare thing for me.

I shall be checking.

All right, Mum.

Thank you.

Why must you mock my care for you?
