Dr Elune leant back in their chair, sighing as they shut down their computer. Alex flickered on nex to them, smiling, "Anything the matter, doctor?"

Chuckling quietly, Dr Elune turned with a weary smile, "No. And all that tension was really getting to me... I feel exhausted now!"

Sitting on the desk, Alex smirked, "Too tired to even enjoy your games? Dang, we better get some of that tension back again then."

Swatting through the projection, Dr Elune laughed, "Shush you. I am glad, though... This is a big step."

Nodding, Alex hovered into the air, "I kinda want to talk to Dr Ohara more, now that he knows... Would that be okay?"

"Up to him. Remember, though... He may say he is fine with this, but remember what happened. I still don't think he is over all that, nowhere close."

"... Do you expect a trap?"

"What, from Ren? Nah. He isn't the type for that... But his devotion to Yuki has guided him a long way."

"I... Guess I understand. I wouldn't have before..."

Grinning smugly, Dr Elune leant toward alex, "Getting self consious of your emotions now, are we?"

"... Perhaps." Blushing, Alex turned away stubbornly, "I had to admit to having them, after they were your primary argument for my emerging consiousness."

"Took you long enough!" Getting up with a groan, they glanced back up at Alex, "By the way... A floating human is both cool, and creepy."

"Want me to turn of the gravity in a sector for you?"

"... Tomorrow. That actually sounds fun."

"They have a sport using that in the Relay Rings, you know."

Flopping face down, Dr Elune tried to mumble, "You surf the internet more than me. You are an official nerd."

"... What? I don't understand matress-ese."

Rolling onto their back, Dr Elune grinned, "I said you are very charming, and will make someone very happy one day."

"... You are lucky this body is just a hologram, or I would throw a pillow a your face."

"Great to know I still got it. Sleep well, alex."

"Sleep well, doctor." Fading away as the doctor closed their eyes, Alex turned their attention to the stars again... And a little bit further. They were getting rather curious, and their upgrade plan was almost ready to start implimenting... It was time to try out those little experiments, it seems.
