Angsty Caveline

hyperspecific headcanon ive always had about this particular little alcove right next to the entry corridor to GLaDOS' chamber is that this is a place Caroline frequented. Like, a lot. Like, "second most common place you'd find her apart from her office" type of a lot. Just kinda sitting there. Watching the chamber of the machine Cave only dreamt of grow in size day by day. Watching it sprout more and more roots as they hook GLaDOS up to every little thing they can think of. Only walking right inside whenever she has to, but waiting at the lair's front door every single day. Maybe daydreaming of it all suddenly and irreperably collapsing, the whole project just another classic Aperture dud, finally ridding her of all of this. Maybe just thinking of the day a part of her will enter that room and never come back out. Was she afraid? Resigned? In some way excited? Awed, or terrified? Neither? Who knows, really.

four yearning songs and arranging the turret opera aren't enough for her
