On being stuck in cerealia for months and the lack of certain people

[zerotohiro]

You know…this totally didn’t work the last time you made me do this. Sure, last time was different. What about this time makes it better?

[A heavy sigh follows.] Look. Of course I miss them. You don’t think I do after hearing Baymax introduce us as the Big Hero Two? It’s pretty lame. But what’re you really expecting? It’s not like I’m going to be able to yell “HEY, COME GET STUCK ON THIS ALIEN PLANET WITH ME TO OVERTHROW A COUPLE OF EVIL ORGANIZATIONS” and have everybody show up. Would you?

[…] Yeah, that’s what I thought. [There’s a pause.] I’ll be okay. Really. Just sorta makes me wonder how it’d work out with us and them together again.

Is correct math embarrassing?

[They're two... what is he supposed to do.]

[zerotohiro]

[Siiiiiigh.]

No, but it sounds a lot less impressive than six don't you think?

[roboticalnurse]

[Aww, don't sigh, Hiro. Have some head patting.]

I believe a boy your age helping people in danger is impressive.

[zerotohiro]

[Somehow that always works.]

Heh. Thanks buddy...[Have an arm pat.] Still doesn't change that we'd work a lot better if we were all together. Right now it's just you, me and Tadashi. [...and his other friends, but that goes without saying.]

[roboticalnurse]

Tadashi is there. Does that make it Big Hero 3? [Maybe his counting was wrong? He doesn't like having wrong facts.] Teamwork has higher chances to be successful.

[zerotohiro]

You know Tadashi's different than the six. Even if he's got his ViViD gear and he wants to be part of our team. [So he says.] You think we should let him?

[roboticalnurse]

[That's actually a big question, for many reasons. The fact Hiro is asking Baymax for like-- an opinion? Permission? is huge. He's just a robot helper after all, right? Well, in his (now blinking) eyes anyway.]

Does Tadashi want to be part of the team? How does that make you feel?

[zerotohiro]

He might. He's made his own gear and everything but--[There's a hesitance. Of course he wants Baymax's opinion on this. It's one of the few that counts in this situation.] I mean you know Tadashi as good as I do. He's not exactly super-y. He's kinda weak for a human.

[Says the small nerdling.] I mean not weak but. I don't really want him in danger either.

[roboticalnurse]

Hiro is not exactly: "super-y" either. [Another blink. Baymax is a bit confused about these points. (It's called hypocrisy, buddy.)] I do not think Tadashi wants you in danger. Both of you fit the same requirements to belong to the team.
