[OOM: Matrix and AndrAIa: clean AND dirty? No warnings; it's a fade-to-black.]

Someone is looking rather content today.

Very content.

And, to other cyberspace denziens, he smells quite clean. Like Refresh soap and some other flowery scent, to be exact.

If he'd known getting his link command would make him feel this good, he wouldn't have needed Dot to strongarm him into the wedding ceremony—he'd have done it as soon as Daemon exited stage left.

This means he'd be agreable to non-viral company tonight.

You're non-viral, right?

"Positive."

Pause.

"And I'll just bet that being apart is making Dani feel the same way you are, right now."

"Can't. She's got no circuits," Enzo points out.

Pause.

"What did you do when you felt like this?"

"Circuits or no, the emotions have to be the same," he says, wondering if his other self is just being smart with him.

"What did I do?"

Punched walls, punched people, shot things...

"Well. Let's just say that anyone who angered me when I was like that had an abrupt end-of-file."

"'Swhat I thought."

This Enzo doesn't default to anger in the same way, but some of it's in the code, and he really could use a release.

"Maybe I oughta study for my other exams for a while."

Well, they are almost the same person, so...

"And which ones would those be?"

Oh, he knows. He just finds it interesting to have his other self say it.

"Mêlée and ranged combat."

You're speaking Matrix's language now.

"Do they allow you a study partner?"

Someone could show Enzo the finer points of target practise.

As well as how to throw a punch strong enough to break Mike Tyson's jaw.

"It's encouraged."

"Right then. What do you want to learn first? Hitting or shooting?"

At least AndrAIa can't disapprove of Matrix helping Enzo with his classes, can she?

"Hitting," he decides. Blow off some steam with physical exertion before blowing things up.

"Then if you're not doing anything else important, we can go out back and start the lessons."

"You bet!"

As they head for the back door, something finally percolates through to Enzo's consciousness.

"Why do you smell like flowers?"
