[Yeea, her leaving out details only has him question it and more confused. He scratches his head.] I'm not sure I followed that entirely, but are you sure you can? It sounds like...there's a part of you that can't really be taken away, as bad as it sounds.

[ 21 takes another long sip of her hot chocolate, and an additional moment to calm herself. The air around her is starting to smell strongly of lemon tarts - she's hitting a point of being all nerves and expecting the worst out of what she has to say next. ]

Naruhodou, I-I ... I am a special type of android. One created using the cells of countless researchers and warriors. Because of the way I came to be ... some of the cells inside me are going berserk, even as we speak. They drive me to want to do such horrible things, specifically to other powerful fighters ...

[ A moment to breathe. She can do this. ]

... While she gave in to those urges, I have been doing everything in my power not to. I have some means to help with it, but it gets harder every day, and I ... I don't want to end up like her ...

[He stiffens as she explains the method behind her creation, squeezing the cup in his hands] ...So that's why that other you was saying I was too weak to be even worth a snack.

[Someone not worth fighting is what he thinks the other one meant. By the end of it, he's more angry than terrified.] Who would do that to you? Isn't having one person enough? With all sorts of people inside you, I'd go crazy too.

[ She's being vague purposely, though she starts to feel that maybe she should bluntly explain her unique abilities. ... Until she hears Naruhodou's understanding of the situation.

For a moment, she looks bewildered. Why would he think there's multiple people inside her? Then another moment later ... she starts to quietly laugh. Here she was, so wound up and nervous, and she didn't even think to check that he'd even understand her explanation! ]

S-Sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't even consider that you might not understand certain things ...

[ She shakes her head and takes a breath, hoping she didn't just accidentally insult the poor guy. The strong lemony scent is scaling back a fair amount that to that. ]

It's not so much that there's multiple people inside me ... It's their DNA, their genetics. Everything that makes up that person's power, physical traits, and other abilities ... That is what I was referring to. ... One of the beings used was far more unstable genetically than anyone could've realized. [ Finally ... ] As for who did this ... it was my creator, for reasons I still haven't figured out myself. I'm ... not sure I want to know, either.

...S-Sorry, words like DNA and genetics aren't anything I'm familiar with either. That's science stuff, right? Sorry. [He bows his head in apology, because he feels bad when she's trying her best to explain this to him. Where's Holmes when you need him?] But, traits and talents make sense to me! So they just...combine those abilities together and put them into one being? Sort of like how a mother and father can pass their traits to their child, but more extreme. [He's still doing his best to understand!]

It still sounds like they didn't really consider how compatible they would be when all those traits and abilities from different people come together. [He leans back in seat, letting out a sigh.] This may be beyond my comprehension, but one thing I do know is that you're suffering because of what your creator did. I don't know if there's anything I can do, but I want to help you if I can in some way!

[ She nods at his understanding of what's being said, since ... well, that was close enough. Her situation was complicated enough without her needing to pull out a textbook on genetics.

Although, his offer to help gets a rather blank, confused expression. He wants to help? After hearing and seeing all that, he ... ]

... You want to help me? After everything you've heard ...

[ People were so nice to someone as selfish as she is, and she'll never understand it. Not from Goku and his friends, not from Shirotsuki, and not from Naruhodou. Maybe ... Maybe she should just accept it, instead of blanking out at the thought of such offers, though. Even if she feels she hasn't earned kindness like this. ]

... Thank you, Naruhodou.

Well yea...how can I not after hearing that? [This seems like the most obvious thing to do.] Besides, we're friends, right? Friends help each other...eventhough I don't know what I can really do. Still, know that you have my support.
