[He didn't want Gregory to let go, in fact, he shifted to hold the boy to his torso, so that when he stood back up, he could carry him. It wasn't as effortless to carry the child as it had been as an animatronic, but he was plenty strong enough to carry Gregory for a long while if needed. Right now he stayed where he was though, just holding him close, pressing his cheek into the boy's slightly messy brown hair.]

You are so important to me Gregory, you saved me... I would have stayed there, stayed trapped in myself, without you. I... needed someone to need my help, and want my help, to break free.

Thank you Gregory, my Superstar.
