GC understood that it might be disturbing- almost traumatic- to learn that your best friend was the same guy that had caused you and your loved one near death multiple times. Still, Michael shouldn't have been so quick to judge.
Indeed, after watching the eight-minute-and-three-second clip, the boy did seem considerably less angry at his friend. He was still in a slight state of shock, but at least the girl was starting to sympathize with him.

"So…" Christopher said, taking the portable stick out of the computer and hanging it back over his neck.
"Well," Flamegirl reasoned slowly, "I guess we can't exactly get mad at you for what you did. But this still doesn't completely explain what happened to TOME- it barely explains it at all, in fact."
The boy nodded and looked at his new 'hoodie buddy' with a puzzled glance. "Yea, I'm confused about that. Can you please tell me how exactly you got into the real world, for starters?"
The AI chuckled. Or- she supposed- she didn't need to refer to herself that way anymore. Was she technically a human now? She had a human soul… Well, that was not the matter of concern at the moment.
"I'll explain how I got here if you'll explain how I came to be," she ordered. "I assume you'll be able to put it into words better than I."
So Chris did. And from one explanation, came another question. For a long time, the group sat in the shed, learning about the coming of TOME from the thing itself and one if it's creators- indeed, it's parents.
Then, when everyone was caught up, SOFDTI finally started explaining just exactly went down on the fateful night that seemed now years instead of months in the past.
