…
In a lot of scenarios, he's not the best.
I know you don't need to hear that, but…

… the point is, i'll do my best for you whenever you come here.

「* holding her close, being gentle.」

If things get scary…
I'm here for you, ok?

S-She was worried you hated her. B-because I was. I was scared I was losing the version of her I knew for a bit and… thーthat was my fault.

I'm the reason that… you and her got in a fight, and that…. I didn't intend for that.

She… she cares about you too, ok…
…

< too worried about static in every way. That was made clear with how he talked. He wanted to prove his care, that he loved Static even still.」

「* Though, regardless of everything, he had shrunk down to a handheld size at this point, before looking at the other, screen still black.」

Y-you can be there for that kid too… L-like a good big sister. I'm sure that'd be amazing…

We can…
W-we can … s-start a new version of the show maybe, even, with you and the littler one.

「* Ah… he didn't even know what gender the kid was just yet, he actually hadn't properly seen it yet, he was… >

I know… i know, it's… it's why i was so scared. Scared that I was just doing nothing but huritng you in every way.

I…

「* He whines more, nuzzling his own child like she was his emotional support, what a mess.」

It's… I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
I want… I want you to get along with the new one.

「* Aw…. little baby…」

I'm glad you think so. I try so much….
I want to create a safe space for you, as much as I can.

He never cared. Sure, 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫, but not me. never me anyways.

You're not.
I… sorted things out mostly.

You know.
I realized that things would have turned out better for Static if Spamton wasn't her parent in the first place.

I know I can't take back what happened, but…

… I wish that just you and me were her parents from the start.

.. You didn't.
You were just born, that's not wrong, ok?

「* A gentle pet, despite how sad he looks.」

… I know that those two are your parents, but… if they ever make you scared or uncomfortable, you can come here, ok? I'll do my best for you.

Don't apologize, love.
You didn't do anything wrong. I just…
why … is that girl like that?
Why is she such a damn mess…

comfortable with midori.
and me, and… the littler one we recently had.

i want to care for all of you.
i…
i really do.
i want to be a good parent, static.
i want to … iー ghh..

「* back to sobbing.」

i thought i could do something good.

at least a little bit.
i thought you'd be proud of me, saving a younger version of you and trying to make an effort to give her something happy. a family that cares.

i wanted it to maybe make you feel more comfortable.

….
…… i don't blame you if you don't believe that though.

but regardless, the point is.
i was hoping, when i saw the littler you… that she'd have a better chance, but they're a mess regardless. I don't know what to do to help her.

< you an actual proper family.

i never intended to make you feel replaced. or remind you of the sad things that happened when me and him 'broke up'. i don't…

i don't even think we were ever together.
i think he was using me.

… You're fine, I…
Want to tell you something.

「* He falls silent for a moment, curling up a bit more.」

ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑒.
your dad. he… even told me that, once.

it's why when i got with midori, i…
… quietly hoped that things could work out. that… because i found you again, we could give >

Midori…

「* Carefully lifting her. Holding her close, gentle. Seems he knows how to handle a baby.」

…
I'm fine. I just…
… Wish that things could be better for you.
