ZoeB:
I know Bubbles isn't into hugs... but I wonder if she'd like to try the aroma of a nice, blended Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey, with just a tiny drop of pear juice?

I'd like to help put her in a happier place, and to demonstrate that we care. OK, she's an AI, and a completely fictional character in a comic, but such matters are trivial in comparison with other matters. Far easier to do it for her  than for members of the NC legislature, but to graduate from the advanced class, you have to be kind to them too. While making sure they don't backstab you, and limiting the damage they can do.

i'm not sure I'm ready for the advanced class yet. That I'm willing to even entertain the thought is more than I thought I could do.

I really hope Jeph will take Bubbles out of the place she's in with that last panel. It's a place few can remain in for long without lasting damage, and she's so vulnerable now, she could do with some help.

Darn, Jeph's good, isn't he? Just lines, solid colours and then displayed as pixels on a screen, yet emotionally involving. That's talent.

Method of Madness:
I hope she doesn't take this as evidence that CW is right.

That WOULD seem to be the direction this is going. Of course, one of QC's running themes is people actually acting way more mature than the sitcom tropes would suggest, so maybe Bubbles won't start secluding herself again.

BenRG:
I think it will be more of a case of a frustration that she can't nail down humanity into a single cohesive most probable response. After all, she's met new friends who have given her only acceptance; she's met... Emily; she's met people who hate her for no other reason than being a Synthetic. I suspect that she's going to vent to Faye at some length about how no two humans respond to her in entirely the same way and this makes her feel uncomfortable and unsettled.

I think that she wants some kind of assurance that she knows how people will react to her when that simply isn't possible and that fact may frighten her.

I've said this before but I really do think that talking to Claire and Dora may prove to be eye-opening about living with being different or, more importantly, the perception that others may view you as different and what it can do to you if you let that fear dominate you.

Your consideration of the advanced class sounds a lot like a third doctorate to me, so allow me to slow clap.

And while BenRG might be close, I don't think that she's frustrated, or at least not only frustrated. It's a scary world after all, even if you're an 8 ft tall anti-tank combat AI.
