Someone finally tries to handle Imi's pron!trauma...

[justanimitator]

[Soooo, this one time, Imitator!Len actually did make it to the library [though he doesn't know who the 'librarian' is yet...] ...mostly because it was a combination of rainy and snowy out, and he didn't like what it did to his clothing or running back to the bus to change (again).

As he is standing by the shelves, trying to figure out how everything is sorted and what to look for, he notices a familiar face...]

Y... you said that earlier. And Aku-san and Len-san did too...

I still don't understand, though. What it... 'it' is really supposed to be.

[a long pause]

I... I don't think I want to understand. I don't want to know anything about it! [a strange statement coming from this Len, probably?]

[defender]

I'm not capable of forcing you to learn anything you don't wish to know.

As long as we're clear on the matter of the two not being the same thing.

[justanimitator]

I... I understand.

[justanimitator]

......

[defender]

...I don't wish to press the issue, but you don't seem satisfied.

[justanimitator]

Just... just...

Why? I don't understand why anyone would... do those horrible things...

[defender]

...a question I have often asked myself to no avail.

Some people do terrible things. Motivated by necessity, greed, revenge... thankfully, here in the dressing room, justice tends to overpower corruption.

[A hint of a blush, suddenly talking much more quickly.] As for normal sex I'm - told it's quite pleasurable - the practical purpose is for reproduction within the human race.

[justanimitator]

I'm glad.

I mean... I... it's good to be alive. And in the 'world', so I don't... um, understand hurting each other. Aren't they happy too?

.....

Sometimes, it didn't look like they were having f-- fun. But, I guess that's because it... wasn't like real, um, sex, right?

[blinkblinkblinks]

...Reproduction?

[defender]

It's.

How children are made.

[justanimitator]

...Um, 'built', you mean, Miku-san?

I guess I was made by coders and CD Writer... but I wasn't 'born' until later.

[defender]

[...]

Humans are different.

[justanimitator]

So... they come from elsewhere? Then where...

[processing, processing]

[justanimitator]

EEEEEEEH?

[defender]

And thus, the miracle of life.

Do you need to sit down?

[justanimitator]

N-- no. [he might be leaning against a shelf a little, now, though]


...Now it... really doesn't make any sense! Life is good, but it comes from something so... so...

[defender]

I thought I just told you that sex is not inherently horrible.

[justanimitator]

Y-- you did! And I... I mean, I'm... trying to believe you.

[sinks down the floor, head buried in his hands as he thinks]

[defender]

[blandly]

I see you're very traumatized.

[justanimitator]

...Is that what this feeling is called?

[defender]

I would assume so.

[justanimitator]

I thought I knew about um, 'sex'... a lot about it, even if I didn't want to know.

[slumps]

...and the 'reproduction' and 'children' part still doesn't make any sense, either.

[defender]

I believe now would be the time for you to acknowledge that that was not the case.

[justanimitator]

.....I...

Don't know anything about... about um. Real sex.

[defender]

Should we start from the beginning?

[justanimitator]

Yes... yes, please.
