I awaken mid-slumber in my bed, which is always difficult. My consciousness is in two places, but Parent has returned, and lumbers down the ladder and into the sub-basement.

Parent is not built like me: it is difficult for Parent to move amongst other people the same way that I can, because I retain 70% integrity, and Parent has less than 50% remaining. If Parent was exposed to other people, they would become even more embarrassed than Amanda and the other girls in the change room would be by my essential components, and would escalate to violence, although that is not a concern to Parent. Parent was built to withstand. It is more for their sake than Parent’s, and as Parent connects the lateral cable [a dull scape of metal on something hard, but softer] I wonder if Parent loves other people.

Parent reminds me that I am confusing my purpose with Parent’s.

Parent also tells me that the English teacher, Ms. Dorse, was the only teacher to raise concerns with me, concerning my performance during our study of King Lear. 

Parent says that Ms. Dorse understands that I am an excellent listener and am at peak cognitive performance, but the new English teacher arriving to replace her during maternity leave might not be so accommodating of my flat affect and struggle to grasp emotionally-derived subtext.

Parent cautions me that this is a potential error, and I should strive to correct it, and achieve my purpose, or else Parent will have to intervene, and we will start over.

I love Amanda, and cannot start over. 

Parent begins to go over the groundwork for conversion upgrades, and I resolve to analyze my failure and improve as the lateral cable hums to life, and my bed takes me again.
