[An entire week goes by before Add is reminded that he had arrangements for a "date" with a "robot".

How could he forget such an important event?! Even if he was a bit distracted for that first week, between figuring out what he was supposed to be doing and getting his ass beat in by a crazed lunatic... Ahh, but now he looks completely uninterested, he had such a perfect start and now he's gone and left a poor impression...!

Okay, wait, calm down, Add. She still texted him! Even if she never responded to his post asking about robots (maybe she didn't think it was necessary since they'd already met?) she's still clearly expressing interest in him. Does she really think he's that interesting? That's still a factor that could be played to his advantage. And maybe she just thinks he was busy this week and that's why he forgot to reach out to here? It wouldn't exactly be a lie. That would be a good excuse to run with, regardless...

She seems to be in a good mood, but it's difficult to tell based on text alone... he can't be too careless. He doesn't want to upset her before he has his chance. Ah, is she capable of being upset? It would actually be absolutely fascinating if she was. Aahh, now he kind of wants to try pushing her metaphorical buttons to see if he can get a different response...!

—oh, right. He still has to respond to her text first.]
