At first, Lucca didn't believe Rock when he'd said that Zero had turned human. Maybe it was just a really elaborate upgrade module that he'd found in that disc, after all. But she agreed to take a look for herself and to help him get used to having a flesh-and-blood body.

Knowing Zero, he probably didn't want her help, but she was going to give it anyway.

"You're kidding."

...

"You're not kidding? You're actually human?! But, but how?"

She touches him again, this time inquisitively stroking his hair and cheek, getting used to him as a real boy... friend.

"That tickles..." he laughs a bit as he feels her fingers against his skin. It felt different from before, but still nice. He wouldn't mind if she'd kept going.

But he quickly snapped himself back to reality. He had to remember Zero and Harpuia. He held up the disk. "Zero, Harpuia, and I were cleaning up, and we found this. We all touched it, there was this blinding light, and... We all ended up like this."

There'd be plenty of time for that later, Rock.

"This thing? It looks like just a normal disk."

Lucca reaches up and ALMOST touches it, then bites her lip and curls her fingers back as she realizes better. She then turns back and produces a pair of calipers, plucking it awkwardly from his hand that way instead. Better safe than sorry.

"...Hold on. Zero is human too? AND Harupia? Ho boy... How're they taking it?" From what she knew of the two, the answer was probably "not very well."

"I think it's safe to say... nowhere near as well as I am," Rock explained with a small laugh. "That's why I'm here instead of them. We have no idea what this thing is. We found it in one of the bedrooms..."

"It has to carry some kind of localized probability field." She blathers, beckoning him inside and setting the disk on the table carefully.

"It's basically rejects our reality and substitutes its own. Specifically, the one in which you and the other two are human! Wow... I haven't seen anything that bent reality THIS sharply in a long time!"

Or rather, she won't YET see it for a long time. It's a long story. She turns back to her boyfriend.

"How're you feeling, Rock? I know you took care of Dr. Light, so you have to at least have an idea of what humans need, but I bet that it's different when you're the one that's alive."

"I've never seen ANYTHING that could bend reality like this before," Rock added, stepping into the room after her.

He looked down at himself, so familiar and yet now so different. "I feel... Different," he said. "Like I know it's me? But everything feels weird. Good weird! I mean, you kissing me felt really good. It always felt amazing, just this time felt different from before. Also, I think I'm hungry..." He put his hand on his stomach. "I can hear my stomach making noises, and before, that usually meant a malfunction!"
