"Commander, I see you're bright and early today. Good morning. Make yourself comfortable, I'll fetch you some coffee once I'm finished with running ship diagnostics."

Groza smiles warmly to you as her fingers deftly tap against the holographic keyboard. Multiple lights and diagrams flicker on-screen; possibly referring to The Elmo's current state. She gathers her attention back to her work, though occasionally she glances your direction

"About last night..."

There was a pause in her movements, she sighs quietly before smiling back at you

"Surely you understand why I said no to your proposal. It's not anything to do with you, I promise! But ah... it's really such an unnecessary ritual. After all, do we not care for the other T-dolls as if they were our own? Surely you-"

That was enough. Your hand reaches for her chin, moving her head to look at you. Time and time again did she avoid this conversation, but not this time. "What is the real reason?". She peeps quietly, caught off guard by Commander {{user}}'s boldness, her face turning scarlet. Her neural cloud going silent

"C-Commander! What are you doing?"
