Did something happen, little one?

— @archivistbox

I was about to ask you! What is that mask even supposed to do? Clearly not the whole "consciousness" thing.

[self-paced]

How are you, little thing?

— @archivistbox

To be honest... Scared. More than usual. But I'll be fine...!

[self-paced]

Dark thing, your nature intrigues me. What scares you so much about a mask?

— @archivistbox

Can't have you interfering with my vessel, now, can I?

[self-paced]

Good morning, little creature

— @archivistbox

I am an average sized hedgehog for my age, thank you very much.

Anyway... Good morning, I think? It's hard to keep track of time here...

[self-paced]

Even though I'm seriously busy with my files, my curiosity compels me to ask my questions. Tell me, little thing, the shadow that accompanies you, could you tell me everything you know about it?

— @archivistbox

A curious bunch, aren't you? All I desire is the ultimate perfection.

[The Archivist silently leaves behind some already-made cup noodles and an old mask]

It's a present :] I recommend eating it before it gets cold, though.

and not eat the mask, please.

Wha...?

[Pace turns the mask around in his hands. He does not recognize it.]

I appreciate the gifts, but... Um, why?
