If dogs don't work, there are all kinds of therapy animals - therapy cats, therapy bunnies, even ferre-py.

So is Faye now doing for Bubbles the job companion AI's generally do for their humans?
Magniras:
"Listen Bubbles, don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Faye who believes in you!"

I think so. If you compare this to how Pintsize used to needle Marten and Faye and how Momo used to be with Marigold, there are definite similarities. As to whether Jeph is doing this deliberately, I have no idea.
osaka:
To be honest, companion AIs are, bluntly speaking, bought friends. Obviously there are a myriad of little things that make this much more complex than that, but it all boils down to the companion AIs acting as the friend you need (but not the one you deserve, as shown by Pintsize). And probably being friends as well, because I doubt either of them would put up with shit and I think the contract could be nullified. I do recall Momo saying that it eventually becomes a formality more than anything as friendship grows.
So yeah, if Faye is acting as a supportive friend and it looks like something companion AIs do it's because that's what they're originally made to do. But that's just coincidence, Faye is just acting as a friend and companion AIs are just acting as friends.
At least that's how I've always thought it worked.
