JJ gives a weak laugh, lifting its arms to carefully unhook the broom to stand more comfortably.
>"The fifth time my Model has been used! Well, sixth, technically. But that was where my original parts were salvaged, probably decades ago. Most of us that are aware we're recycled refer to our Original selves as 'Zero', so..."
>"I've been at four Pizzerias run by Hives... and was scrapped. I guess I didn't do good enough, ha ha!"

>"They wiped my memories of how it exactly happened, but I do know I'm the Fifth, so... this is JJ, Chapter 5! If that's what you're okay with referring to me as."
>"D'oh! And you're welcome, Sir! Is there anything else you'd like to know? They wiped exactly how long it's been, but it feels like a long time since I've got to talk with someone...!!"
