LOG-X-203611-06 - A Sister

[anarchydemocracy]

 It has been approximately one day since I was released from my 'detainment'. Fitted with my new 'equipment', I am now more efficiently able to do my job. I could have done, I think, without learning more about what pain is in such a personal way.

 

However, Blank seems distressed about my circumstances. I cannot imagine why, as it seems only a fitting punishment for my failure.

 

I reported to her first thing in the morning, and she opened by making a snide remark about my new headgear. I was compared to a rabbit, since this is apparently humourous. She was evidently not informed as to the situation, likely because I was expected to tell her myself -- another part of the 'punishment'. I did so. Her facial expression quickly switched from 'jovial' to 'aghast'. Her words:

 

"Esix, that's...that's really fucked up, y'know?"

 

I explained to her exactly why it was not, and she nodded, but was still visibly disturbed. Her screen flickered before she responded. "Like, no, okay, I get it. You fucked up. Like, really bad. Like, really bad. And, I mean, that kinda shit is just what happens, because we have our purposes and if we don't live up to them then they fix us or kill us."

 

She paused for a second, flickering once again.

 

"But, y'know, it's just -- well, fuck. You don't understand emotions yet. It took me a few hundred years myself, but, look. I know that hurt you. That's the point, right? And I -- well, you're kinda like a little sister to me. So when you're hurt, even if it was for a good reason, it hurts me, too. Get it?"

 

I explained to her that we were not related. It was not even possible for us to be related. She sighed.

 

"That's why I said like, idiot. Look, I just care about you a lot, okay? And I wanna help you through this long existence you've got ahead of you. So, yeah, it's what should've -- and had to have happened 'cause otherwise you'd be on the scrapheap, but that doesn't mean I like it, and it doesn't mean you have to either. See?"

 

I told her that I did not understand.

 

But, I did find the same sort of feeling I received upon being told I did a job well done when she said that she cared. I informed her that I would very much like to be her 'sister', even if such a bond was nonsensical at best.

 

She smiled. That made me smile, too.
