"Was the head of the whole company..." Dendy corrects.

"But he doesn't feel like he's been helpful on our quest--is that what he means by background character?" Jenny deflects the blasts, "But still! It's not true, he's just as important as the rest of us...you hear that, Darrell?" she looks at the shadow.
"Unimportance, eh? Hm....maybe we could remind him of things he's accomplished in the past, and that might help?" Kasen thinks, "...no, no, maybe not.."

Hapi covers Dendy's mouth with both paws. "We don't want to make him feel less important than he already does, wan! What if Hapihapitchi said Mametchi is smarter than Dendy, wan? That Hapihapitchi would rather go home than spend any more time here?" She pouts. "Hapihapitchi is putting a stop to this..."
Flying back over to Darrell, she gives him an angry look. "It really hurts the people who care about you when you say you're not important! If you say you're insignificant or a nuisance, imagine how Jenny would feel, wan!"

Darrell would stop running for a moment. ''J..Jenny..'' He murmured, his voice clear for a moment. The shadow around him seemed to start giving off wisps, and he sprinted away, finding a place to hide.

"Don't you realize all this is hurting her, too, wan? She doesn't want you to feel like this," Hapi persists, following Darrell.

The shadow had found a corner, and crouched in it, his “front” facing the wall. His paws were wrapped around his head, and he seemed to be shivering.

Hapi just glares at him, slowly blinking.
Wander gently pulls her back, sitting down. "I think that's enough..." He sighs. "None of us want ya t'feel like you're irrelevant..."

Darrell just sat still for a moment, before his shadow seemed to slowly devolve back into a solid being. It was a tiny creature, small enough to fit in one hand. It looked like Darrell, but with the monochrome coloring seen earlier. It also had two mechanical cat ears and a robotic tail. Crouching on all fours, it watched the others with an empty look in its eye.

"...I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing," Marx cautiously approaches the changed form. "Did it get worse, or is he going back to normal?"
Hapi and Wander back away, offput by the change.
"I think it got worse, wan..."
"Whose fault was that?" Marx glares at Hapi.
"..." Hapi's stalk turns blue, ears drooping. "Hapihapitchi yelled too much..."

''Just... just leave me alone..'' Darrell murmured, looking away.

"You tried, Hapi," Doremy says, "Just...maybe a bit too hard."
Jenny approaches carefully, "Darrell.." she says quietly, "I..Is it my fault you feel this way?" she wondered, "I--I'm sorry if we made you feel this way, Darrell. But you're not unimportant...you're very important. To me, especially. You're my best Robo-friend, you know..?"

Darrell’s ears twitch, but he keeps looking away. The dark mass surrounding his brain seemed to shake.

"Everyone means somethin' to someone, y'know?" Wander smiles. "There ain't really such thing as a background character. You're the main character of yer own story and it isn't endin' yet."
Hapi is face down on the ground, sulking again. Wander nonchalantly pets her head in an attempt to calm her down, but still watches Darrell. "Just because you feel that way doesn't mean other folks do, Darrell."

''..'' The dark mass seemed to shake again. The tiny Darrell seemed to let out a pitiful mew.

Wander pets Darrell. "I get how it feels to think you're unneeded, but the truth is, you're worth so much more than yer aware of," he glances at Sylvia and smiles at her.
