At that moment, a horrible thought entered Yotsuba's head, and her stomach turned and twisted into more knots. She was going to help her friends and family, and Rabbit was going to do the same. That would help..but..

"But..what if they decide to not fix it?"

Oh no. Oh no he didn't want to think like that. He held her a little closer, wishing for all the world that he was The Spine right now. The Spine would know how to answer this question better than he would.

"Th-th-they wouldn't l-leave it like this. It.... it's wrong. It's all w-w-wrong! They wouldn't leave us all l-l-lookin' l-like this, sweetheart, d-d-d-don't you wo-worry. They'll fix everythin' an'.... a-a-an it'll be like it ne-never happened. An' yer b-bear will be okay an' you'll be o-o-okay an' I'll b-b-be okay..."

Yotsuba had only met Spine once, so she didn't know if he would be able to answer this question, but that reaction didn't help calm her down at all. Her urge and need to cry increased, and she tightened her grip on Rabbit.

"But..most of the people who run this place are bad! They..they might like this..so..what if we don't go back to normal? What will happen to Daddy when he finally comes here?! What will they do? He'll be so sad.."

Rabbit was starting to panic himself, and he was never very good at hiding his emotions. He clutched her tightly, rubbing her back and trying to think of something to say to that. Because in all honesty the people who ran this place were bad, and Rabbit didn't know if they really would turn everyone back to the way they were supposed to look.

"Th-then... then we'll fi-fi-find 'em an' ma-make 'em change us back!" He had nothing else for it. Even if he didn't have all of his weapons anymore, he still had his mind, wasn't that good enough?

"We'll ma-make 'em change everyone ba-back to the way it's s-s-supposed to be! An' everthing w-w-w-will b-be back to normal!"

This, along with the rubbing, helped Yotsuba calm down a little, and as she put her head on Rabbit's shoulder, she remembered something. Not all of the kidnappers here were bad. One of them was nice.

"Okay..we could do that! We're mostly good guys here! And one of the kidnappers here are nice, so he might be able to help!"

That seemed to be the right answer to the question. Whatever answer would make her happy and alleviate Rabbit's worries was the right answer. He couldn't bear to say anything other than that. He didn't even know where to start looking for these mysterious people. Where they are, what they looked like. If they were effected by this strange change as well.

"Y-y-y-yeah... We'll ge-get his help an' ge-get 'em to change us ba-back if they d-d-d-don't do it. We'll f-f-f-fix this. We can fix this."

Sadly, Yotsuba didn't know either, but she thought that someone else might know, which was why they had to ask around while they were helping people get through this. While they were helping each other get through this.

"We will..then we can go back to normal."

Someone else had to know. As much as Rabbit loved and cherished his big brother status, it hardly elevated him to father. He just didn't have the wisdom for it, or the emotional calm required for the job. The most he could do was just be there and hope for the best, it seemed. Hope someone else had some kind of clue as to what to do.

"Y-yeah. All back to n-n-normal. Ju-just gotta fi-fi-find the right p-people..."

The concept of older brothers was a bit new to Yotsuba, but even she didn't expect Rabbit to be like Daddy. However, she would help him out, and he would help her out, even if they were scared and puzzled.

"Right.." With that, Yotsuba would nod and, with another squeeze, try to smile. "Yotsuba will be brave until then!"

Hey the concept of a little sister was new too. He only had a little brother before this, and he was not like Yotsuba at all, but that was fine. He knew how to be an older brother... Even if he was frightened and confused. Part of his job was acting like everything was going to be okay, so that was what he was going to do.

"We'll b-b-both be b-brave, kiddo. Ain't n-nuthin' gonna stop us, right? We're an unbe-beatable team."

At that, Yotsuba nodded and, trying to push the thought of dying again aside, replied as happily as she could.

"Right! You're a robot, so you're strong, and Enoch showed me how to use a sling! We'll be fine!"

"Y-yeah, real strong. We-we'll be fine, sweetheart. Ju-just fine." No dying here, no sir. Not with the two of them around. It almost seemed impossible that they could die, considering they were just wire frame works.

"An' we-we-we'll fi-find Spine an' everything will be A-Okay."

Sure, it seemed impossible here..but a lot of seemingly-impossible things had happened here, so Yotsuba wasn't ruling it out.

"It will be! Oh! Yotsuba met Spine awhile ago..did you find him? I tried to bring him to you, but I couldn't find you!"

Well yeah, Rabbit had come back from the dead, that was pretty impossible right there. He wanted to be able to rule it out though. Death just seemed impossible right now.

"I f-f-found him, ye-yeah. Ga-gave him a big hug. Like this!" And he squeezed her just a little closer, giving a nice little spin to top it off. Just because he didn't look like himself, didn't mean he couldn't act like it.

Well, so had Yotsuba, but..even she wasn't going to rule it out as they were now. However, at the hug and the spinning, Yotsuba couldn't help but laugh a little.

"That's great! You missed him, and he missed you, so that's good!"

All he needed to hear was that laugh. He hoisted her up onto his wire frame shoulders, and continued down the hall, a little bit cheered up now. At least she wasn't acting sad or scared anymore, that was good enough for him.

"Y-yeah, of course I mi-missed him! We're family, that's wha-what family does! So, where d'ya wanna go, kiddo?"

Well, it was hard to stay sad or scared for long when a trusted family member was with you and helping you plan things out. Yotsuba's smile grew a little as Rabbit put the girl on his shoulders.

"It does! But family always find each other again! And..Yotsuba wants to go down and look around!"

There now everyone was safe and happy. That was all he could ask for. He was sure as long as she stuck by him, everything would be just fine. Down she said? Well that's where he started heading, right for the stairs of the floor. May as well explore and see what's going on.

"That's ri-right, family always does. We stick like g-glue. Alright lets go down an' s-see what's goin' on."

At least, for the moment, they were. In the future, Yotsuba would become quite depressed, but for now, all was well. However, as they moved down the stairs, Yotsuba was puzzled by something.

"Okay! But..what's glue?"
