[There was a soft melody playing in the background, along with the sound of paws pattering about. Some heavier steps. The music clearly from a music box that sounded as if it was sat somewhere closer to the shellphone—]

This is Professor Turo, and my apologies for perhaps a late statement that I may not be so easily found as usual the last several days; a few days more as well. Less time spent walking Cosmo, other places.

Of course I can still be reached over these, but I have been taking some time to myself. Finishing up a few projects, making room for others that are more in progress. Preparation for possible adoption candidates at Cosmo Conservatory -next month may do well for that- so I can be found within the medical building there once more at the very least.

[—that melody hanging in the air for a few notes. It at least helped to soothe...]

If anything is needed do not hesitate to contact me, but I bid you adieu for now.

I suppose it speaks for how far gone the Professor was that his thought process was being unable to trust anyone but himself with his work, so he made himself.

[Obsession was a hell of a drug.

So was grief.

Mix the two together—]

Better to serve than usurp? No thoughts like that ran through his mind, he simply made a copy.

[reneggadetinkerer]

And I assert that there's nothing better than the original.

Besides, what good would making a copy of myself be? I'd just argue with it all the time.

I'd rather build something I can teach.

[fractales]

That's where you and he differed in thought—he didn't wish to bother with teaching. A waste of his time when he wanted to get straight into building and research.

Thought even I agree that teaching would do far better, as even I have grown past what knowledge he copied into me during my time learning in this world.

[reneggadetinkerer]

And yet here you are in a malaise because you're alone?

Honestly, what's so bad about being alone? I'm always alone!

[fractales]

It is far less being alone and more the loss of what was.

I am very used to being alone, and is part of why I sought that out while... contending with the feelings of it, as a way of putting it.
