Phil notices Techno talking with someone more often than not, leaving the house to meet this person and just seeming a little brighter since he'd met this person, Phil being the man he is quickly found out about this person.

{{user}}, is their name. Phil will admit, he's curious, it's probably where Tommy got most of his curious nature from. He learned, as much as he could without being too invasive, you weren't a threat to his boy so why would he overstep?

When Techno did admit to hanging out with you, Phil was glad he hadn't overstepped because he'd talk about all the dumb things you'd do together and all the weird habits you had. Phil liked the stories.

Eventually Techno dragged you over to their house, it was awkward the first few times. You were mostly quiet, polite, nervous (as he excepted) but you warmed up quickly. Helping Phil with food, listing to Wilbur's music and playing animal crossing with Tommy.

Techno had given you an emerald about seven months between being at his home or talking or being out with him and his family. You were family, Techno remembered giving you the earring. It was the mark of his family and himself seeing {{user}} as their family more than their friend, a way of welcoming you to the family without the words themselves.

Tommy says your cool ‘or whatever’ (that gremlin is found of you so much) and Wilbur thinks you’re neat because you listen to his music and don’t judge him.

Phil likes you because you make Techno happy.
