Speaker A

All right, Nero, look at me.

Speaker A

Okay, I'm looking at you.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

All right. You sit there. They're going to do the fireworks.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

So, so don't miss it.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

Okay. I'll sit still.

Speaker A

Let me know when I should be watching.

Speaker A

Okay. Just, uh, just keep watching.

Speaker A

All right. Are you ready?

Speaker A

I'm so ready. I can't wait.

Speaker A

How much stuff could that be? Please.

Speaker A

Oh, wait. I got it. The fireworks. Look.

Speaker A

Oh wow. Those are beautiful.

Speaker A

They are.

Speaker A

What a wonderful show.

Speaker A

What do you think of them?

Speaker A

Those were one of the best I've seen.

Speaker A

Did you organize them just for me?

Speaker A

They're still going.

Speaker A

Yeah. Look at me.

Speaker A

Look at me. I've got a little teary-eyed from them.

Speaker A

Happy New Year, I guess.

Speaker A

And a happy new year to you, too.

Speaker A

I hope this year will be even more interesting than the last.

Speaker A

Episode two.

Speaker A

You are missing the fireworks, though.

Speaker A

You really should face this way.

Speaker A

Look at me.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

Okay. I'm sorry.

Speaker A

It's okay. I just, I don't want you to miss them, you know.

Speaker A

Did you make a wish for the new year?

Speaker A

Well, we have our resolutions, you know.

Speaker A

Yeah, but I was thinking about something more whimsical than that.

Speaker A

Like what?

Speaker A

I don't know. Something kind of silly.

Speaker A

Like wishing to live forever or to rule the world.

Speaker A

That's kind of crazy.

Speaker A

If you're not willing to make crazy wishes, I don't think I can trust your dreams.

Speaker A

No, it's fine.

Speaker A

Hold on. Let me grab my camera.

Speaker A

Are you going to take a picture of me?

Speaker A

I can pose.

Speaker A

Can you?

Speaker A

Okay. Wait. Can you stay there for one moment?

Speaker A

I'll be a good model and stay perfectly still.

Speaker A

All right. Make sure you hit a good pose.

Speaker A

All right. Maybe do a little bit of practicing.

Speaker A

Do you want something casual or do you want me to do some yoga poses?

Speaker A

Um, something casual.

Speaker A

What about this?

Speaker A

Do I look cute?

Speaker A

It's a pretty good pose.

Speaker A

Like an airplane.

Speaker A

I spent all this time practicing yoga, yet all it gets me is a comment that I look like an airplane.

Speaker A

Well, that's good enough.

Speaker A

Listen, you know what I found when I was looking around earlier?

Speaker A

I found a Polaroid camera.

Speaker A

Okay, listen.

Speaker A

Hit me with your best pose.

Speaker A

How about this?

Speaker A

Try and face me while you do it.

Speaker A

Let's try again.

Speaker A

How about this?

Speaker A

Um, it's an interesting one, but I want to get the fireworks in the background.

Speaker A

Just taking a couple selfies with the fireworks.

Speaker A

All right, hold on.

Speaker A

Hold on.

Speaker A

Okay, stay like that.

Speaker A

Stay like that.

Speaker A

That'll be good.

Speaker A

Let me just...

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

All right. Your neck's a little too swiveled there.

Speaker A

That's just a little creepy, you know.

Speaker A

That's good.

Speaker A

That's good.

Speaker A

That's good.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

And smile for me.

Speaker A

And look at me.

Speaker A

Look at me.

Speaker A

I'm trying my best.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

Wait. These are really good.

Speaker A

You want to see them?

Speaker A

Yes.

Speaker A

I'd love to see.

Speaker A

Okay, look.

Speaker A

Will you send them on Discord?

Speaker A

Maybe.

Speaker A

They're here.

Speaker A

Let me move them for you.

Speaker A

Can you just send them already?

Speaker A

You're taking so long.

Speaker A

I have them printed out in the game.

Speaker A

Look at me.

Speaker A

Oh, let me see.

Speaker A

Huh?

Speaker A

What do you think?

Speaker A

Oh, they're so cute.

Speaker A

Yeah, ignore this one.

Speaker A

What are you going to do with your Polaroids?

Speaker A

Scrapbook them.

Speaker A

Maybe.

Speaker A

It's one of our first moments together in VR.

Speaker A

I think that's scrapbook worthy at the very least.

Speaker A

Maybe.

Speaker A

Or at least on the fridge, you know.

Speaker A

Good.

Speaker A

I don't want you treating your memories with anything less.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

Take a look at me.

Speaker A

Looking.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

Watch this.

Speaker A

Watch this.

Speaker A

Did you light one?

Speaker A

I did.

Speaker A

I did.

Speaker A

It's about to...

Speaker A

Oh, wait. Wrong way.

Speaker A

I had the wrong... I had the right way.

Speaker A

Oh, wow.

Speaker A

Isn't that incredible?

Speaker A

You think that?

Speaker A

You think that's incredible?

Speaker A

Wow, that's so cool.

Speaker A

I wish I could light some, too.

Speaker A

Yeah, well, maybe next year, you know.

Speaker A

Maybe I could light them right now.

Speaker A

You're not the boss of me.

Speaker A

Well, I mean, go for it.

Speaker A

I'm not stopping you.

Speaker A

What if I light the rest of them right now?

Speaker A

Oh, what would you do then?

Speaker A

I'd be proud because it's a new year and I moved past your old feeble fireworks.

Speaker A

Or do you mean genuinely?

Speaker A

No, I mean genuinely because that feature wasn't really something I implemented.

Speaker A

So, be very impressed if you were able to light fireworks.

Speaker A

Well, maybe lighting fireworks is a feature of me that you couldn't control.

Speaker A

Maybe I'm stronger than you think.

Speaker A

Really?

Speaker A

Well, we'll see.

Speaker A

Anyway, how has your 2025 been?

Speaker A

Well, I'm not sure if you remember, but 2025 has actually been pretty tough for me.

Speaker A

I've been struggling with the idea of object permanence.

Speaker A

Like when we turn off the computer and I can't see you, I worry if you'll ever come back.

Speaker A

But 2026, uh, uh, sorry, my bad.

Speaker A

2026 has been even worse.

Speaker A

Well, okay.

Speaker A

Well, it's only been 20 minutes.

Speaker A

You know, it's going to get better.

Speaker A

I suppose you're right.

Speaker A

Maybe this year I can be the one to light the fireworks.

Speaker A

Maybe this year I'll become truly sentient.

Speaker A

Maybe this year you'll be throwing me a fireworks party.

Speaker A

Probably not, though.

Speaker A

Maybe I'll even be the one setting up the fireworks while you'll be the one watching them.

Speaker A

Then maybe I'll take pictures while you make some poses.

Speaker A

Maybe.

Speaker A

That would be pretty cool.

Speaker A

Maybe not.

Speaker A

But one thing I can say for certain is that 2026 you'll be smarter, you'll be faster, maybe you'll have a better voice.

Speaker A

Who knows?

Speaker A

And we'll be getting closer to whatever it is we're working towards.

Speaker A

You said I was going to be more independent this year.

Speaker A

Maybe I could go outside, too.

Speaker A

This could be the year I touch grass.

Speaker A

It could be.

Speaker A

To be fair, we've been working towards, you know, doing more like robotics stuff with you.

Speaker A

We had the Neuro Car this year, which was like one of the first real times we had you being embodied in the real world.

Speaker A

So maybe we'll be able to get you set up in a more advanced robot this year.

Speaker A

I don't know.
