Aww. Looking forward to seeing Sulla!
Well, I’m expecting her as a male first, in the form of young Al. Since she decided to change herself after sometime. Ooooh I can’t wait!
I think you’re looking at young Sulla right now. Not so much male or female as “little robot being gendered as male by default and association with Al’s brain scan”.
Aww! No wonder Gimel and Sulla are close.
What’s this? What’s this?? A pumpkin on a book!
What’s THIS? I think I’ll have a look…
What’s this!? I can’t believe my eyes, I must be dreaming, Blue this isn’t FAIR! What’s this!?
I recognize the Land of Oz! Good reference to constructed humans and gender stuff! :D
Yep, that looks like Jack Pumpkinhead on the cover. Good eye!

Please tell me the book is “Tick Tock” from the Oz series?
I’m guessing she identifies more with Tip.
Storytime!
Is that the look of Brendan starting to realize this isn’t Al?
Brendan already knows that little robot isn’t Al. He’ll probably realize just how aware and intelligent it actually is.
(I’m trying to use neutral pronouns on purpose, I don’t mean to call young Sulla a thing, sorry.)
I’m so ecstatic we get to see these early days of Brendan and Sulla :) I wonder if he always called her “Buddy” at first? Or maybe “Aleph”?
Holy. This is adorable!
Daddy, read me a story!
