Machines totally make errors. It breaks hearts too. Which Nida would have told her had he been there when she had gone to the machine. As it was he was just heading down the street near the machines. Someone called in about a broken car up the road and little mechanic man has to deal with it.

Except he hears the words. And he knows the voice. Enough to stop and look, just in case. No way it was possible. Give him credit, he doesn't drop his toolbox. But he does change paths toward her, a soft and fond smile on his lips.

"I don't know, Rin, you could do anything you set your mind to."

How is he supposed to know she isn't the same Rinoa he'd spent almost a year living with. Not that it would matter. So much of the good of his life lately has come from a Rinoa. So he trusts her. Bone deep.
