[ Ranger has been avoiding the workshop, as he finds that it has the same unpleasant air about it that the meeting room had. Even so, every now and again he finds himself visiting it out of need for one thing or another. It's why he's here today, but the sight of a person dismantling a stripped synthetic body does catch his attention.

It should unsettle him, being made up of parts and wires and synthetic organs himself, but he feels nothing at all watching as the object is dissected. His own artificial heart still beats in his chest, after all, and such sights are nothing if not commonplace where he comes from. It's sensible. It's recycling and repurposing. It's taking from a life that had never mattered.

Curious eyes linger for a few seconds too long before he shakes his head and steps over to the pile of scrap that students seem to be endlessly adding to. ]

I was wondering who that belonged to.

[ The words are flat, betraying no emotion. It doesn't quite surprise him. ]

[Add looks up, pausing, his own gaze lingering for an equal amount of time before he quickly looks away again, back to his work... he doesn't dislike Ranger. They're not especially close, but he's a fascinating specimen, intelligent, useful... he'd wanted to speak to him more, get to know him better. Talk about spatiotemporal physics and programming and whatever his interests happen to be, he's sure it'd be interesting, he has no doubt it would be.

But Ranger is also... someone that's dear to Komaeda. They're frequently together, and they hold hands like it's a natural thing... and even if his tone is flat, Add can't imagine there's anything but disdain behind it. They're only acquaintances, he crossed someone like Komaeda, so it's only natural that Ranger would dislike him now.

It's a shame. He truly is an interesting specimen... ah, well...]

Club resources are available to all members, so long as the project is something worthwhile... upkeep is important, so use them if you need it. I have no use for something like this myself.
