Hopefully Alfred doesn't run into any Material Emancipation Grills!

I don't own Hetalia or Portal.


"Hey, look! It's a Weighted Storage Cube!"

Alfred held up the cube to show Matthew. "Er… Al? That's a Weighted Companion Cube." Matthew smiled shyly at Alfred.

"Huh? What's the difference? It looks the same?"

Matthew pointed to the side. "See the hearts? They're there to create attachment in testers. In newer chambers we sometimes use Weighted Companion Cubes to create false feelings. Almost always, these Cubes ultimately get destroyed to solve the puzzles."

"Oh. That sucks," Alfred joked. "That's also kinda messed up." He laughed loudly, nudging Matthew with the box, trying to knock him over.

Alfred gazed at the old, rusty Weighted Companion Cube.

He held Matthew in his hands, the Sphere whirring quietly.

"Is something wrong, Alfred? You've stopped. I thought we were going to the surface?"

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Sorry, I just remembered something."

"Was it sad? You looked sad when you were quiet."

Alfred gazed at the Sphere, at Matthew. "No, it wasn't sad, it was just unexpected. Come on, I'm going to try and bring this Cube with me."

"I don't think you'll be able to carry both of us at the same time, we are both oddly shaped objects to simultaneously carry."

"I'll figure it out," Alfred said, setting Matthew gently down and picking up his portal gun.
