[ A little nodding wobble of that painted mask of a face. ]
I asked him about his flower. [ The pretty one he had in his hair when Esquie had picked him up from Lumiere. Verso had told him that a florist gave them to him, and Esquie had been utterly delighted. New friend! ] He doesn't make new human friends a lot. So, I knew you were special.
[ And you are! Look at your cool arm. That must be really helpful for floristing and all sorts of cool things, and probably explains why the flowers he got for Verso never seemed to cheer him up. It's because he doesn't have the cool metal arm that makes your flowers better. Or something like that. ]
He's been very sad. [ He was back then, and still is, though Esquie hasn't seen as much of him in the past months or longer. ] He says he's not sad. But I know he's sad.
Sometimes, he picks flowers and stares at them for hours. And then he gets up to play the piano. Then he goes back to the flowers again.
[ ( Verso is currently seeing if he can drown himself in a cave pool. Alas, he cannot. ) ]
