"3" has never been more annoyed by Lan predictive modeling until now. Scans show that Arl is fading away. It is the expected demise of a copy. Spirit/Soul dimming and eventual soul energy collapse.

Just today, Arl got up in the morning and sat with them for morning food. He put a hand on my hand (something he avoided for years because he understood my problem. The dilemma I do not myself understand). He looked at me and said, 'What brings you girls out here on vacation?'

I turned away like I have seen the Wroug do. I cried. Lots.

Arl came up, hugged me and cried too. He said, 'Don't cry. Please. I hate it when you... uhm who are you? How do I know how you cry?'

This has not been the first time.

He proposed marriage to each of us on separate days over the past months. We indulged him in the earth ceremony. The other two acting as witnesses. We created ring in fabrication devices. He would often forget by the next morning.

We discovered that the ritual of bonding dance would temporarily break him out of disconnected memories.

The eldest of us, "1", has been using the synaptic overload diagnosis technique when Arl becomes disturbed or frightened.

Arlow Tsai will not last much longer.
