What happened, was not your fault. But what you did trying to fix is everything. I love you... Mom.

Fink
[Roz, Fink and the gosling are spending their first night in their new hut. However, Roz is struggling to come up with a name for the gosling, as she can only assign him numbers as if he were also a robot.]

His name can't have numbers! It's like someone didn't even like him!

Roz

My name has numbers.

Fink

It's got to be personal!

Gosling

Personal!

Roz

Processing personal...

Roz
[Roz looks closely at the gosling, her vision highlighting his bright yellow bill.]

Bright. Bill. Brightbill! [She holds out her hand and the gosling climbs onto it once more.] Is that satisfactory?

Brightbill

Brightbill? [He straightens up, pretending to be a robot.] Processing... beep, beep, boop boop! [He gives a little jump and a smile.] Satisfactory!

Brightbill
[The seasons have changed, and Brightbill is now an adolescent goose. He walks through the tall grass, mimicking Roz as he takes slow steps and makes whirring noises with his mouth. Eventually, he stops, mimicking the sound of a machine braking with a hiss.]

Scanning. [looks from left to right robotically before he notices a squirrel eating some acorns, then starts making beeping sounds] Possible animal friend sighted. [crouches, mimicking a robotic whoosh as he does so, before moving his wings back and forth like a machine] Activating interspecies outreach protocol.

Brightbill
[Brightbill pokes his head out from the tall grass while making a robotic whirring sound. The squirrel looks round, confused by his unusual method of approach]

Hello! Bonjour! Hujambo! I am Gosling 0186, but you can call me Bright-

Brightbill
[The squirrel interrupts him with a scream, alarmed by Brightbill's behaviour before running in the opposite direction, leaving four of its acorns behind. Brightbill sighs glumly as Roz emerges from the grass next to him.]

I expected to have at least one friend by summer but they all just-

Roz

Scream and run?

Brightbill
[smiles back at her]

Yes!

Roz

I have experienced the same phenomenon.

Roz
[Roz puts a finger under her chin while she says this, thinking, and Brightbill does the same with his right wing. Fink then emerges from the trees.]

Fink?

Fink
[sarcastically]

Beats me. Nothing weird about you two.

Roz

Thank you.
