[A few days after gravity is restored to the station, Ryuji returns to the mess hall from Haru's garden to find a small robot flipped upside down, panicking through a series of morse beeps and boops, which- okay, that's kind of cool, and quickly figures out that the paneling and suction entrances of the little guy means it's probably meant for filtration and cleaning.

Looks pretty study, looks... waterproof, maybe? He lends a hand to get him right side up and it starts slowly moving forward. Ryuji takes out his communicator and immediately films this as it happens, because, why not?

He posts two videos on the network- the roomba moving down the hall and one, a few hours later in the fitness center as it crawls from the edge, and dives right in.]

Oh shit! Are you supposed to do that?

Whoa, whoa- I don't know how to fix you if you--- WHOA, COOL.

[And it isn't even by any specific design or purpose that he's trying to worm his way into Ryo's good graces, he just has a lot of impatience to give and so many hearts to steal. Wait. No. He has a lot of patience and his heart to give. That's not right either. Look, he's a bit of a persistent son of a bitch, and equally doesn't understand the concept of wanting to be left alone. Ryuji Sakamoto hates being left alone himself, as he's come to find out over the course of time spent learning how to make friends again. He just knows how to speak his mind and doesn't hold himself back from stuff, and sometimes, that works really well to his advantage. Other times, disaster. In the end, it kind of evens out over a long enough time scale.]

Yeah, sure.

[He looks down at his new best friend, his son, the thing he would absolutely give his life protecting. That thing is going to be so clean you could eat doritos off of it. But please don't eat doritos off of it, Ryuji would have to go and clean that shit up all over again.]

Wow, man, you are...

[He hides a smile back, but it's hard when you're practically made of sunshine and sarcasm.]

The most interesting person I've ever met.

[Classical music, yeesh.]

Oh hell yeah. Havin' a little rave in your room 'n shit. Shakin' your booty like no one's intensely staring at it. [Please shut him up.]
