Her smile disappears now. He wasn’t Lucas…? That was strange. Even if he didn’t recognize her, he should’ve recognized his own name… unless she hadn’t remembered his name correctly. Still, she was certain that this boy – whatever his name was – used to be her friend, so no matter how upsetting this was, she wasn’t going to just leave him alone.
“I… I guess. But – but it’s been a long time, so… so maybe I won’t find him.” Though she very much wanted ‘Lucas’ to grin and say it was a joke, or at least look at her like he recognized her… It hurt to hear him talk so stoically, but Emi was used to being disappointed, which was why she wasn’t crying right now. That, and the amusement park around them didn’t seem like a good place to start crying.
She kept a grip on her hair just in case he said something that hurt even more, but she forces another smile, still sounding a bit upset but not as close to tears as before. “But, um, it’s okay, ‘cause I found you instead! An’ I’m sure we’ll be friends just – just like me an’ Lucas were…! Oh, what’s – what’s your name, then? If you’re not Lucas…”
He just stood there for a few moments, despite asking about this ‘Lucas’ and intending to give an answer on where this girl could look for ‘Lucas’, it didn’t prove to be successful.
Now it just seemed this girl wanted to stick around him further, which was troublesome.
"Wouldn’t it be more productive to continue to search for your ‘Lucas’?”
Upon being asked what his ‘name’ was, he wasn’t certain how to answer this question. He was never really given a ‘name’, Master Porky didn’t seem to think it was necessary as in his own words, humanizing a weapon or a toy was just silly. His subordinate pigmask infantry never bothered addressing him anything outside of ‘Sir’ and ‘Commander’ either, so the thought of a ‘name’ never seemed important or relevant to him before.
“I don’t have a ‘name’, it’s unnecessary to my purpose.”
Considering this child wasn’t part of the pigmask army, her addressing him as commander or sir was inaccurate. Considering how secluded he was to the public and the citizens outside of the Empire Porky Building, this problem was never really an issue until now.
“You can address me however you like, its no concern to me.”
