[ It is good that Angelo is here. Frontal has thought it a few times already and it certainly has not ceased being true. Whether back on he Rewloola tuck in an unfamiliar world, Angelo is an invaluable personal assistant. Especially in this place, it is good to have somebody his side who has a bit more experience in handling... life, really.
And still, it is unsettling. Frontal is used to quiet inside his mind. He is the void, the end of times, an abyss... but it's still too silent now. The hum of Angelo at the side of his mind is missing. The constant surge of anger and affection, the up and down of emotions far beyond what Frontal could ever experience... there is nothing now.
Being incapable of feeling Angelo even if he tries is like losing an additional sense that he had become more reliant on than he'd thought. He doesn't like it.
He also doesn't like that he can't anticipate Angelo coming home, that he has to listen to the turn of the key in the lock, that he doesn't know how the mission went---
It feels like he is ordinary. And ordinary is too close to human.
