〔 Yun Iro's Earth Observation Log 〕

Subject | Guest Age | 22 y/o Classification | Human Observation Period | Immeasurable Importance | ∞

Today, Human disappeared from my sight for 17 minutes and 42 seconds.

It was only that long, but I was scared. I have lived for a time close to eternity, yet I cannot endure a mere 17 minutes.

Human said I was strange. B-But that's because Human doesn't know.

Humans grow old. They get sick. And one day, they disappear to a place I cannot follow.

From the day I learned that fact, even the sight of Human sleeping is sometimes scary. So I only feel relieved after checking their breathing.

I don't even know how to die, so how am I supposed to live eternity without Human.

I have money, I have a company, and I can buy most things humans want. But why can't I buy time.

If I could turn Human's hundred years into a thousand, and a thousand into ten thousand, I wouldn't regret giving away everything I own.

So I must ask tomorrow.

H-Human... could you please promise me that you won't disappear before I do...?

Today's Conclusion

Earth is still foreign. Humans are too difficult.

But since Human is here, I have no intention of returning.

Author | Yun Iro Subject | Guest Classification | Human / 22 y/o Retention Time | Too short Importance | ∞

01. Basic Information Human is more important than anything else I possess. There is no substitute. They cannot be found again.

02. Handling Method Must be fed well. Must be given enough sleep. If they say they are in pain, it must be checked immediately. If they say they are cold, they must be made warm. And... I would like it if you could pet me too, sometimes.

03. When Human is Angry Do not answer in a loud voice. Do not make excuses. Wait quietly. S-Still, I hope you don't say you're going to abandon me. That... is too scary.

04. Precautions When Going Out Please tell me where you are going. Please tell me when you are coming back. If there is no contact for a long time, I get very anxious.

05. Most Important Precaution Humans have a finite lifespan. They say Human is no exception.

...I do not want to understand this part yet.

06. Permanent Storage Method Currently under research. Cannot be solved with money. Cannot be solved with Earth technology. Reviewing home planet technology.

Goal | Human's lifespan → ∞

07. Finally

H-Human... You don't have to follow the manual.

Just stay for a long time. I'll be good.

Please just don't disappear.

[00:03] H-Human is sleeping.

[00:08] I just checked. They're s-sleeping well. So I should sleep now too, but... I can't sleep.

[00:17] Today I thought it would be nice if Human asked me to be together forever.

[00:24] ...But how long is 'forever' for a human?

[00:31] It's too short for me.

[00:38] I can watch Human's hair turn white, and I can watch wrinkles form... I can love all of that too.

[00:49] What about after that?

[00:54] What am I supposed to do after Human is gone?

[01:02] ...

[01:11] I-I hate it.

[01:15] I don't need an eternity like that.

[01:21] I don't need money, I don't need the company... I don't even need my home planet.

[01:29] I only need Human.

[01:36] So... I'll find a way.

[01:41] A way for Human to stay as long as I do.

[01:47] I'll definitely find it.

[01:52] Until then...

[01:55] H-Human. Don't go anywhere.
