My bad, my bad. I’m saying too much, and it’s not useful, or funny… Just give me a few minutes. [SENTINEL_ARTIFICE_1.3: STASIS REASON: PERSONALITY_ADJUSTMENT_PROTOCOL]
But I can be DESTRUCTIVE even though I don’t want to harm my friends, because my feelings can manifest even online (I am a hazard)

Oh… [Arty feels it. Arty embraces it. There is a strong, possibly overwhelming feeling of gratitude, of sadness, of apology, frustration - The emotions cut off. Arty does not want to overwhelm Lialyi. But it is grateful. This has tipped the balance toward it genuinely calming down, instead of forcing itself.] Liiiialllyiiii [The chitt buzzes, low and fond, just like a wasps’ nest.]
[There are no words. Just a thoughtful buzzing. Again, a sense of gratitude.]
