Obsessed with the spooky robot show

This could be anything from being picked on by kids at school, to facing discrimination from adults for being the child of a disassembly drone and the local outcast/god in the colony.

When she listens to it, she adores it. She loves how extra and dramatic it is, with multiple songs fuelling anime battle imaginings in her head. But when she hears the final song, she instantly knows she’s got to show it to N.

Uzi - Sprawled out on her back. I mean, we’ve seen this in one of the music video teaser images, but I’d go further as to say that she often tosses and turns in her sleep. She does this less if N is with her, as she’d be cuddling him like a koala. It makes her feel more settled.

N - Like a log. He’s quite energetic in his waking life, but he’s a very heavy sleeper. He lies either on his side or back. His sleep is usually enhanced if he’s cuddling Uzi.

V - Whether she sleeps on a bed or hanging by her tail depends on how she feels. If she feels normal and unstressed, she’ll hang by her tail. If she’s greatly distressed, then she will sleep on a bed, typically in the foetal position, as it makes her feel more protected.

J - Similar deal as V, although she will more often hang by her tail, even if she feels distressed. If she wishes to sleep on the ground, then she will take up the coffin position as it gives her a sense of neatness and efficiency. It also works while she still lives in the pod, as space is more cramped in there.

In reality, she gets a better view than anyone else, as N almost always tags along with her, and is more than willing to prop her up on his tall shoulders.

“At his Limit”

Here’s a more experimental piece that I kind of lost motivation for over time. Still, didn’t want it go to waste.

I was going for N losing his patience over a particularly tricky adversary, but now it kinda just looks as if he’s having a breakdown lol

From the pillbady to about pre-teen stage, N takes to it more naturally. He would have a very gentle and doting nature that would be perfect for whatever little tike they’ve got. As they grow, he’d also make sure to teach them about appropriate behaviour and how to emotionally regulate themselves, while also leaving room for their kid to make mistakes.

While Uzi could help in all of these aspects, she generally struggles a bit more, mainly because, simply put, she never really had a mother figure growing up, so she’s not really sure how to act like one. She’s definitely read up on it and taken late advice from her parents, but she hasn’t seen it for herself, so she ultimately needs to figure it out as she goes.

During the teenager and young adult phases however, it completely changes. The heightened emotions, angst and drama of the teenage experience is something that Uzi is all too familiar with. She quickly solidifies herself as a strong role model for their child, helping them navigate their increasingly complex world, teaching them to keep a cool head while also not taking any garbage from anyone.

Now, I’m not saying N is useless in this stage. But here’s the thing: from the show, it’s implied that he just straight up, never had a childhood, and his existence after being salvaged was just working in the oppressive Elliot manor. He never truly got to experience that transition from kid to teenager, and so he’s a bit unfamiliar to it. It takes some time for him to adjust, but with Uzi’s advice, he acclimates to it soon enough.

If Uzi does something even as simple as scratching under his chin, he will heavily lean into it until he nearly topples both of them over.
