   Summary

   Battat is their favorite thing to mess with. They usually love teasing him, bringing out his negative emotions and encouraging his curiosity. But he has stopped playing the game altogether. He has stopped doing anything at all.

   For a reason it can't identify, they don't like seeing him this way. They aren't the emotional type, and neither is he, so they decide to help in a way that is unconventional. A way that he won't realize is helping at all.

   It has the right idea, doesn't it?
