She told me that she's been here before. That's kinda why we became friends…she worked with Tadashi and she got how weird it was that people knew previous versions of us. [Ruby's been Hiro's confidant for a lot of things in the colony. The only other person besides Yu who knows what happened after Tadashi's death. The only person he's willingly allowing himself to maybe be a little more emotional around. Ruby's changed a lot of the way he thinks.] She'd probably think Mars is really cool, too, knowing Ruby. She really idolizes heroes because of the hunters and huntresses back in her world.

[All the more reason he wants to be a hero here, too. He whines slightly, ducking under her hand with a "Rei, stoooop!" and swatting as he dances away.] I never thought having a hugs-a-lot bot would really help me pick up girls. [He rolls his eyes before settling on something else.] I want to do my best for her…is that weird?
