"Oh are Amentan years like, a thousand years long or something?"

"No... I think they're longer than this planet's but I don't remember how much..." He looks this up on his everything.

"What, you can't be only two of those old! That's way too short to to be you!"

"No it's not!"

"But but but. You know things! How'd you get to know so many things if you're so new."

"I go to school!"

"And at school time passes different or something?"

"No, I learn stuff there."

"Okay but like, you know too many things to be so new. Maybe you just forgot a lot of the time?"

"No, I was born, and I grew."

"That's really weird. Like a rabbit."

"Rabbits... are also born, and grow, yeah..."

"Yeah! I guess I heard Amentans did that but I think I sorta forgot that cause you just look like a person."

"Um. An amalien person I mean."

"Well, all the Amentans your size are gonna be two. When I'm three I'll be bigger."

"That's so soon!"

"Well it feels like a long time to me!"

"But. But. I've taken naps that are more than ten times longer than you've been alive!

"...I think if you nap that long it's not a nap any more it's a hibernating."

"I dunno how that's different."

"Well, a nap is like, a short sleep, in the daytime. Or in the night if you're usually night shift. And the thing you are talking about is a very long sleep, longer than just going to bed and then waking up the next morning. So that isn't a nap."

"Doesn't seem very very long. I've slept longer than that I'm pretty sure."

"Well you're doing a, Dad, wosscalled -"

"Medical coma?"

"Yeah you're doing a medical coma thing when you get hurt and then sleep for a long long time. It's not just a sleep because of it being time to sleep."

"At least a couple of the times I napped long I did it cause I had friends who were hurt and I wanted to play with them, does that count?"

"I guess that's not very medical. But it's still more like a hibernating than a nap," says Kota.

"Ok I guess."

"Gonna be weird when you're bigger soon and I'm the same."
