The story so far
Everything you need before watching
Roz is still trying to keep a gosling alive, and that now means building a house and giving him a name. Fink talks her into borrowing Paddler's tree, then refuses any serial-number name. After Brightbill is named, bedtime turns into a story: Fink translates Roz's cold talk of tasks and warranties into one sentence the chick can sleep on—she loves him. The scene is where this odd trio starts sounding like a family.

❝ 芬克的起源童话
Let me see here. Once, there was, uh, this island with a little gosling. And he was all alone. Because the rest of his family was destroyed. Not yet. And what this little gosling needed - was a mother. - Ooh. - [laughing] - So he looked up at the stars and asked the brightest one if it could send him one of their extras. Funny thing is there's this beautiful robot that happened to be sitting on the edge of that star. And she hears him. - Okay, now. - ROZ: Which is impossible since sound does not travel through the vacuum of space. Ugh. But she still heard him because she was listening with a different part of herself. A part that, up to that point, she didn't even know she had. Her heart.
