[There's definitely some level of intimacy going on. Although he's only done this so they both can be comfortable, it does hit him that this is quite intimate to do. Oh well, Monika isn't complaining, so he isn't going to bother with chaning position again when they both are comfortable. .... If he was bigger, he would've let her sit on his shoulder though.
That aside, what Monika said strikes a chord.
Scared and alone...
He can empathize with her, there. He's been there before. No one to rely on, no one to go to, being so lost. Perhaps seeing some reflections of his past self in Monika that has him also feeling... Protective of her? It's strange; he's only known her for a day, yet he can't help but feel strongly protective.
When he was alone and scared, a couple of kind souls stumbled across him and helped him get on his feet when everybody else rejected him. He could show the same kindness for someone else who is or has been terribly alone for a long time.]
Heartbeat? What is that?
[That answers that, doesn't it? He knows what a heart is, but not that. Though he lacks a heartbeat, that doesn't mean there's no sound inside hin. Monika should be able to hear a low hum of air and low pulsing energy sound inside him.
Soundwave is flushing a little seeing how peaceful Monika looks as she rests on his chest. Being lightheaded from alcohol does make him less touch aversed. Still, he won't disturb her rest, but his hand, once again with some hesitance, gently and slowly rubs his finger on her stomach.]
