"Thanks." She placed everything back into the pantry that needed to be there. She seemed to be spacing out a bit, daydreaming.

Peri had seemingly disappeared back to her little lab of sorts, doing who-knows-what to the toaster.

Sombra began to start on the dishes. "Adriannnn," she said in an almost sing-songy voice. "When are you gonna ask Peri out???"

[grey matter]

"Never. Sometime. Maybe." Adrian rapid-fire responded. "There's no way I could! She's busy all the time and I can never find a good moment and I don't think she'd like me that way and it might ruin our friendship and if we break up it might make working together awkward and-"

"Oh my god. You'll never know if you never ask. She'd be an idiot to say no anyway. Then you'll know you dodged a bullet." Sombra said in a somewhat rude tone.

[hatsune mewku]

"Eh, I understand. Just make sure this *air quotes* 'crush' isn't really just an obsession." Sombra said, walking away. "If you need any help sliding into her DM's, just let me know, she called from halfway down the hallway.

[grey matter]

After a few minutes of silence after Sombra left, she said, "Well, it's not an obsession. That's good."

(gonna pop a pov switch here and focus on Peri for the time being)

Peri was working vigorously and swiftly. This was more progress on this AI and robot body than she had made on anything else!

Sombra popped her head in, to bug and possibly plant an idea in Peri's head about Adrian.
"Hey Peri, so what do you think about Adrian??" She said, quite suddenly
