Panel 1: Miko sitting on her computer chair, her legs folded to her chest, feet presumably on the seat, her arms wrapped around her shins.
Miko: Look, you can have the server back. I just... It's not a big deal. You're right, I can just buy another one.
Mium: I do not currently require more processing power, Miko.
Miko: Because you had to turn off whatever you were using that server for. Look, just take it back. I'll use the same override to give it back if you need.
I just... needed something to distract me. But that was petty. I'm sorry. I... you didn't used to care about stuff like that.
Mium: I do not have an emotional attachment to load balancing, Miko, nor am I concerned by the perception of victory or loss.
Miko: You've learned that letting people win makes them happy, which is why I suspect I was able to get it back in the first place. But now that I think about it like that, it just makes me feel guilty.
Panel 2: Miko, in profile. Her feet are definitely on the chair. There's a shelf with various small boxes on it to the left of her chair.
Mium: Miko-
Miko: Mium - override allocate machine Miko zero zero five, parameter seven hundred and twenty to all. There, you have the server again.
Well?
Mium: What would you like me to do with that server, Miko?
Panel 3: Miko, face and shoulders, looking annoyed.
Miko: What do you want to do with it?
Mium: ...
...
... processing query, Miko.
Miko: Wow... That's ominous.
Panel 4: Miko face and shoulders, slightly different angle, closer up. She still looks annoyed, but is now a bit more animated.
Miko: If you dedicated it to beating Naomi at paint-tag, could you beat her? That's what you're doing with the other prototype, right?
Mium: That is a peculiar request, Miko.
Miko: Not really. Humans are petty.
Panel 5: Miko standing, in profile, head to hips.
Miko: Anyway... I am hungry. I suppose I can probably go outside to get something. There shouldn't be that many people.
Mium: Would you like me to come back to take you somewhere, Miko?
Miko: ... so there are people out there will probably try to kill me again, is that what you mean?
Panel 6: Miko from behind. The background looks the same, so she's probably turned.
Miko: Hmmm. I guess there is food in the kitchen. I could try to make food I guess.
There is stuff in there I can just microwave, right?
Hmm... Mium when are going to be back?
Panel 7: Miko sitting back down in her chair. She is, for this frame, sitting more or less normally. It's clearly just transitional.
Mium: Did you need something, Miko?
Miko: ...No, food is too much trouble after all.
I will eat tomorrow I guess.
Panel 8: Miko, back to her normal pose.
Miko: I guess that means I have nothing to do... Peter is busy... too tired to do anything useful...
Mium: You could go to sleep, Miko.
Miko: Nah, not till you get back. The house will blow up or something.
- Yawn*
Panel 9: Miko, in her chair, presumably normal pose, red blanket covering her legs and shoulders. She looks like she's asleep.
