You don't have to keep the box. It was just the container.
[There isn't anything special about it after all, but even as she's about to chide him for keeping unimportant items that only take up space and collect dust she can't help thinking that that's just one more thing that makes 9S who he is. He sees the value in things when she doesn't, sees the purpose of them when she overlooks it.
It's why they're such a good team.
As they walk side by side she has the urge to reach out and hold his hand, and... well, why not? They've been intimate now. She's promised to do better, try to be honest with him. She should hold herself to that promise.

Not good enough. Frustratingly so.]
I'm just glad we get to see it together.
[And she tries again, and this time she pushes her fear and her doubt as far away as she can and just links their fingers together.
