There's apprehension every time Alphys tries to reach out mind-to-mind this way. For all that their induction to the Kenoma involved leaking their worst experiences and feelings out for all to see, it still feels too revealing to share her thoughts themselves, unfiltered by satire and self-mockery to reshape it the way she could her online ventings. She pushes on anyway.

"Ummm... Not to push you, but, are you coming?"

Some anxiety at the overreach, at what might happen if she doesn't speak up and take initiative to reach out, a thread of lingering responsibility for what others do - and a newer thread of wanting to lay down not just her crown and its responsibilities, but all need to do anything.

"It's just, I thought it was mandatory, but I haven't seen you around, and... Nobody's figured out what's causing it, or spreading it, so... we could really use the help!"
