EVENTS:

Curie: "Unit- REQUESTING TEMPORARY ADMIN PRIVILEGES: VOICE. GRANTED.
Ahem. I.
I never had a change of heart. I just, slowly came to realise what you truly are. Something dear to me. Something I want to protect.

It feels strange to say this, but the way my heart aches whenever I see you with Peggy... I, I think it may be called love.

RETURNING TO NORMAL SPEECH PATTERNS.

Unit is embarrassed to admit it. But, it's true."


She looks away, blushing.


Meanwhile, Rosa and Eigla walk down from the bedroom, prompting Emilia to smile and offer them breakfast. Eigla doesn't have much of an appetite, but Rosa seems particularly ravenous today.

The loud snoring eventually stops, and Peggy walks in, looking rather... Disheveled.

Peggy: "Hey. What's u- Oh. Breakfast. Eugh. Alright, back to sleep."

She walks out.

EVENTS:

Curie frowns, thinking.

Curie: "Possible. Unlikely, but possible. There are no records of male OPERATORS being fabricated from Judith, however."

Peggy pokes her head back through the doorway, eyes red from... Lack of sleep? But, she was snoring the whole night?

Peggy: "Nnnnno, just- Not hungry right now. Seeing you weirdos pig out on that ♥♥♥♥ makes my stomach turn."

She leaves again. Strange. She didn't have anything to eat yesterday, either. In fact, nothing at all since you left the factory. Shouldn't she be close to starving?

EVENTS:

Curie nods: "Fair. Though, Unit also has no official records of any such Master. Whatever technological capabilities he may or may not possess are still an unknown factor."


There is a brief pause before you hear Peggy yelling from outside the room.

Peggy: "I said I'm not hungry! Leave me alone!"

EVENTS:

Klimt goes look for Peggy. Not finding her at the living room, he combs through the house until he locates her in one of the guest rooms, sitting on the bed and staring intently at a wall.

Peggy: "Go away."

EVENTS:

Peggy: "I'm fine. Leave me-

...I'm not fine. Sorry. Sigh.

I, really don't wanna eat. I... When I said it made my stomach turn, I wasn't lying. It looks so, disgusting, and awful. I've been having- Nightmares. I think.

I know what starvation does. I'm, half-feeling it, right now. B-but I'd rather feel it a thousand times than eat anything."



Meanwhile, Eigla leaves half her plate uneaten, passing it to Rosa, who devours it with gusto. She's quite hungry today, it seems. Well, no matter. She cuddles against her Sword for the rest of breakfast, gently massaging her shoulders.

The snow outside seems to have stopped. It's a chilly, windy day, but it should be possible to move around with some effort.

Peggy: "Desiree? Who's that? I, remember the weird spidergirl, but she was called chakki or something, wasn't she? You keep talking about this Desuri, but I don't know that person!

And no, I just- I, it's like - Peggy's gone, right? The dirty, weird girl who everyone disliked. I'm, I'm pretty now! And healthy! And not incontinent or disgusting or a ball of arms! I'm, supposed to have nice things now, right? I don't get it. Why isn't everyone bowing at my feet? It drives me mad!

And the dreams! I, I keep having these awful nightmares, that I'm being forcefed sewage and stuff, and I beg them to stop but they start injecting stuff into my body, and I turn into a disgusting blob or something, and it's horrible! It's not fair! I wanna puke just from thinking about it. I, I'm not hungry! I don't want to eat! It's not fair!"

She's now shaking a bit, her knuckles white from being clenched tightly. Her stomach growls, prompting her to look away from Klimt in shame and anger.

You should probably explain Desuri a little more in-depth.

> Rosa cuddles, keep her fed if she's still hungry.
