I loved the part where Dex realizes that reading books about being a tea monk is totally different from actually doing it. When the woman cries about her cat, Dex's advice just disappears. It is a really honest look at how we try to prepare for life with study, but the world is very different. Seeing Dex fail at first makes him feel like a real person. It shows that caring for people is a skill you have to learn.

I really enjoyed the part where Mosscap says its name comes from the first mushroom. It is a sweet and interesting way to look at the world. While Dex is busy being shocked, the robot is just being itself. This also compares humans and robots. Even a machine can have a deep connection to nature, but we humans, who are from nature, try to get away from nature, and we do things to destroy the world and nature.
