[He's ready to go off on Leon completely, and he was typing a rather long message to do so, but he receives the second piece and deletes everything to send a much more important one.]
[Using his imagination usually gets people hurt, let's be real. But it's...something else for his report to Mosley, at least.]
I don't get it. I know that the robots could be activated by just about anybody but you'd think they'd be a failsafe so that you didn't have multiples of everybody running around. Tadashi didn't activate his, but Baymax did it for him.
...can I ask you something? I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really, really important. About the Stahn robots.
No. Obviously in the end they were unable to harm me, but they did not go after each other instead.
It did not make any sense, quite frankly. There was no value to killing me, but to them it had become their first priority. However, if we consider that they were fulfilling their programming in becoming the person they were mimicking, then perhaps the attempts at obtaining those people who had some value to that person make sense after all.
[He's not a Hiro by any means, but his father did create and run the largest technological company in his world; it'd be pretty sad if he didn't understand technology at all, even if a lot of what happens in Cerealia is... ???
That's exactly what I'm thinking. Mine was doing a good job wearing down my friends and my brother to have control over them and make them think it was me. I'm pretty sure it would have left me to rot under my bed if Tadashi didn't bother looking.
In any case, it could also just be classic villain tactics. We saw too much about them, so it was time to get rid of us.
[Sometimes Fred was right, after all.] If they wanted to become us, they would have to get rid of the people who wouldn't go along with it and would tell their secrets.
I'm going to do some more research on the parts and see if maybe I can learn about their programming. When it was "alive", my robot wouldn't let me touch it. Now that it's destroyed it might be easier.
Any of those possibilities could be true, I believe. Nonetheless, that is all I have to offer in terms of information. The robots did not remain functioning for long.
[Ugh...thanks. Thanks is so hard to deal with...especially followed by a question like that. Ultimately he has to leave off the response he was kneejerk going to give ("Don't thank me", etc etc, the usual), but ...
They're really not doing okay at all, and Leon's not sure what to do about that. He knows how to cope with himself not being okay, but Stahn...
They're friends, aren't they? Stahn and Hiro?]
I'm fine. As for Stahn, he is naturally soft-hearted. This bothered him. [The whole...robot slaying thing. Leon's saying this simply because--] You seem like the sort of nosy person who would pester until you have the answers you want. I am simply circumventing that.
[... So he doesn't want Stahn being pestered, but he does want Stahn to be helped. The Struggle.]
[Well he's not wrong. He would have asked a lot of questions but he's not going to right away now that Leon's called him on it. How rude, Leon. He reads that text over and over again before he really seems to understand.
Of course having to kill something with his own face would bother him. He's just lucky he and Mary could throw his own robot off of a bridge and be done with it.]
They're pretty good at doing things to bother us. Has he actually told you it bothered him or it's one of those things you can just tell? [There is, in fact, a specific reason he's asking. He'll have to elaborate depending on Leon's response.]
If he didn't actually tell you himself, maybe he just doesn't know how to word it. But it's probably not a good idea for him NOT to talk about it either. [Said the world's biggest hypocrite.]
It's just another important part about actually being fine with stuff, I guess.

This isn't meddling, I promise. I kinda heard about what happened. Sorry…about…that?
[God this is awkward.]
no subject
I have no use for your apologies. It is not as though a robot of your ability and stature was able to harm me.
[Even when being vaguely reassuring, Leon is, in fact, a dick.]
no subject
And what's that supposed to mean? My robot was probably doing just fine!
no subject
[Quite...frankly....]
no subject
Also what do you mean two other robots? What'd you do to make them mad?
no subject
[That's the only response Hiro gets for a good minute or so, before reluctantly, Leon sends as well:]
Stahn activated two.
[He thinks that...will paint a very clear picture for HIro.]
no subject
What. Why? Or how, I guess.
no subject
He activated both his and mine before I was able to stop him.

What is it?

no subject
[A beat, and Leon sighs to himself and sends Hiro a second text.]
They did not necessarily get along, however. They argued over who would get to kill me, for instance.
no subject
no subject
[A beat, and the second text comes much more slowly again.]
They stated that if they could not solely "have me" (which is nonsense, I am not a thing to be had), then they wanted to be the one to kill me.
no subject
Maybe there was a benefit for them killing or owning us that we didn't even know about. You couldn't get them to turn on each other instead?
no subject

Still doesn't explain the murder, though.]

[A moment or two later:]
You and Stahn are doing okay?
no subject
They're really not doing okay at all, and Leon's not sure what to do about that. He knows how to cope with himself not being okay, but Stahn...
They're friends, aren't they? Stahn and Hiro?]

He wears his heart on his sleeve. It is not difficult to tell.
[Stahn didn't tell him, but Leon knows.]

no subject
Still, receiving this from Hiro is ridiculous.]
I do not recall asking for a lecture from you. Stop poking your nose in my affairs.
Is this the only way you know how to function? Being as meddlesome as that robot of yours?
no subject
You've never met my older brother, have you?
That's rhetorical, by the way. I still wouldn't call it meddlesome since you're the one who brought it up.
