[Someday Ruby can meet the fat squishy calico that Hiro loves and loves to sometimes terrorize. There's something reassuring about what she says though, like it's not weird that his best friend is a robot and that he's mildly anxious without him. He's got Tadashi still who's off doing his own scavenging, and he's crossed paths with a few others including Ruby. It's not the same, but it helps.]

Tadashi said he wanted him to be huggable and non-threatening. I'm pretty sure he was a little too successful. But he's still learning a lot and his database can keep growing. Sounds like a normal person to me.

[And yes, maybe it's a little morbid to offer to dissect his best friend who's a robotic person, but he doesn't seem to be too perturbed.] A lot of it is just writing code but I want to see if I can install some solar panels into his frame so he can get a charge from the sun just in case he's away from his charging station for a while. [Like now.] As long as his chip isn't damaged it won't hurt him at all. It'll be better for him. …I mean I know Tadashi never intended for him to be anything but a robotic nurse but he had way more potential than that. So…I might need you as back-up anyway.
