Sprinkles felt a bit comforted by Sweetpea's weird wording of friendship. At least, Sprinkles assumed they meant friendship. They did not seem attracted to Sprinkles in any other way, so it only made sense.
"If you mean together like friends, then I'd love to. You've been fun to talk to... And if you don't mind, I'd like to hear more about your sisters. I don't really have any siblings, but, well..." he looked down at his phone and fidgeted with it a bit, "Ganymede feels like a little brother to me, and my roommate is a NEK0 named Natsuki that I see as a sister."
Sprinkles had tried so hard to not admit it to himself, but it was becoming ever apparent. He saw a lot of the NEK0s like a family he wanted to protect. A family he knew wouldn't last for long with their short lifespan.
