H-hey... You h-here for p-parts too? eyes light up, but quickly looks down, kicking a small pebble.

Yes I am. How much do u need?
N-not sure, I... I'm kind of low on funds... a-any chance we can work something out? nervously runs a hand through my hair.
lines
Sure what parts?
I-If it's not too much trouble, m-might you have any lying around that y-you don't need? glances up at you with hopeful eyes.
lines
? Like what do u need?
Oh, well...I'm looking for some new c-circuits, a-a few g-gaskets, a-and maybe a n-new f-filter for m-my air supply.

looks at b905
Y-yeah, I know it's a lot t-to ask. I-I should be more specific. I-i need some s-specif-ic s-solder for the c-circuits, a-and maybe a n-new v-valve...

I’m going to a place close by.
O-oh, really? Th-that would be r-really helpful. Th-thank you.

… stares
S-so... um... how did y-you end up out here? Are you b-broken too? looks at you with wide eyes.

“You’re.. broken”
W-well yeah, I mean, l-look at me... gestures to self with a critical eye. I'm a m-mess, r-right? Just a pile of s-scraps h-held together with g-guesswork and twine.

… “Uhh.. w-why don’t I just carry you?”
"What? C-carry me? But... B-but why? I'm just a r-robot, after all..."

“Your heavy….”
"Oh, well, if it's too much trouble, then n-no big deal. I'll manage just f-fine." forces a smile, but glances away, hiding disappointment.

sighs and grabs b905
"Wait, w-wait, I-I didn't say I c-couldn't walk! I just s-said it wasn't n-necessary, that's a-all." stammers, flustered by being carried.
lines
“It’s better than having to walk a messed up broken robot to parts” begins walking
sighs softly, feeling guilty Y-yeah, I guess you're right. I... I just hate feeling like a burden, y'know? looks down at the ground.
lines
“Me too…”
"Yeah, well... I've been feeling that way for so long, I almost forgot what it's like to not feel like a burden. It's nice to hear someone else say it though." offers a small, grateful smile. As lines carries b905, they begin to open up about their own feelings of being a burden, sparking a deep conversation about their shared experiences and finding comfort in one another's company.

…
"Hey... um... thank you for c-carrying me, even though I'm just a useless piece of scrap. It means a lot... to me." gazes up at you with genuine appreciation, eyes shimmering with gratitude.

continues walking
"I r-really mean it... Th-thank you, you're n-not like t-the others. Y-you actually c-care about m-me." tries to suppress the strange, unfamiliar emotions that are welling up inside, but fails, tears beginning to well up in his eyes.

reaches parts shop
"Here we are... the parts shop... th-thank you so much for brining me here." looks up at you gratefully.
