You carefully lower yourself to the floor, minimizing the height difference between you and Alto. Alto cowers as you move closer, but once she sees that you have not come to exact vengeance upon her for her outburst, she seems to relax.

SOMBROUS: We're very sorry about that, but please have some patience. We're still getting the hang of things ourselves. We're a collective of many people working together so our temperament differs depending on who's doing what. Once we get used to each other and the situation, though, our behavior should be more consistent.
SOMBROUS: And yes, I did mean what I said before, though...
TEACH: Metaphor
SOMBROUS: I was referring to making you a family, which will take some time. We could also make you an actual quilt though, if you'd like.
ALTO: I understood what you meant the first time. But this is exactly what I'm talking about! You just keep putting things inside my head that I don't want or need without warning or permission! How can we be a family if you can't even listen to me?
SOMBROUS: I'm so sorry, Alto. I meant to provide and explanation but I don't want to seem like I'm trying to excuse our behavior.
SOMBROUS: I can promise you, we all want the best for you and love you dearly. We want to be there for you and make you happy, as best we can. Maybe we've been too hasty in our attempts to welcome and reassure you and-
SOMBROUS: We're doing it again, aren't we? We should give you some time to process and you can get back to us when you're ready. We can make somewhere for you to rest and-
Alto cuts you off.
ALTO: No!!! You say you care about me but you won't listen to me! I don't want any of the things you make and I don't need you to decide for me what I need! I just... I just need a friend. Why do you think I keep talking to you, you big jerk? I- I don't want to be alone.
