GUARDIAN ANGEL.

# systemsred : as a heartless killing machine, i was a terrible failure.

that's an order. don't get yourself killed.

i don't know why, because it's one of those things i'm not contractually obligated to care about.

i didn't want to talk to them.

i wouldn't have wanted me either.

no, there's nothing you can do about it.

i'm out of practice at controlling my expression.

confession time: i don't actually know where we are.

also, you may have noticed, i don't care.

as the only one here with experience in these situations, i'm your best resource.

you may have noticed that when i do manage to care, i'm a pessimist.

it's a weird coincidence, isn't it?

if there's a chance we can save lives, we have to take it.

but i wanted to kill them.

you have to kill me.

i didn't want to kill myself, but it was going to have to be done.

and it makes a better story that way.

that was private.

there has to be someone else here.

not that i'm bitter, or anything.

and even to me, that sounded like a stupid thing to do.

because that's how i think of you.

we need to talk about our next move.

why are these people doing this? what is worth this to them?

i was indifferent, and vaguely annoyed. do you believe that?

wow, that was brave. and very, very stupid.

we have to stay together, use our heads.

i panic all the time, you just can't see it.

this doesn't have to end in violence.

i'd hate to be wrong about this. it would make me feel pretty stupid.

not that it matters. none of us had a choice.

this doesn't have to go badly for either of us.

you have no option except to trust us.

you shut the fuck up. we're not leaving you.

i think you can learn to do anything you want.

we'll talk about that when we get you home.

i don't know what i want.

it's that i don't want anyone to tell me what i want, or to make decisions for me.

i know, it was a surprise to me, too.

i'm sorry i frightened you.

it's not supposed to be realistic. it's a story, not a documentary.

i liked being right.

so we both have a secret.

we aren't friends. the first thing you did when we were underway was threaten me.

that's what i think happened. but i need to know for sure.

so you're bored? i'd be the best toy you've ever had?

i don't understand why this is a difficult choice.

you probably aren't surprised by that.

not that i'm bitter about that, or anything.

it was a bad idea to come here.

you just have to survive it and go on.

we'll start over. we did it once, we can do it again.

right now we need to find a place to get out of sight.

but it's not like i'm not afraid, so that's good.

but we all know that wasn't an accident, don't we.

you need to get better threats.

this is my surprised face.

getting proof wouldn't be hard.

i wasn't annoyed at all. not one bit.

you can't tell anyone i'm here.

it couldn't be this easy.

it doesn't sound like you.

i want to make sure it's safe.

now i have to check it out to prove you wrong.

we're friends, and friends call each other by name.

i hadn't realized this was a perk until now.

i didn't know what i wanted.

but don't mind me, it's not like i know what i'm doing or anything.

oh, a running joke, those aren't annoying at all.

it shouldn't be weird, but it's weird.

yes, that was sarcasm.

i mean, if i was going to attack someone, i couldn't have picked a better spot.

the only way out of this is to kill them.

why are you pointing that at me?

i know you know that, asshole.

do you have any idea what attacked us?

telling the truth was sort of working out for me.

but old habits die hard.

give me your weapon.

does that sound terrifying? because it was terrifying.

sorry, it's not personal.

oh, that's not suspicious at all.

you were there when it counted.

possibly i was overthinking this.

i should be over this by now.

well, that was all useless.

i mean, there's a first time for everything.

not i said "supposedly."

okay, i was scared.

i didn't know if i could trust them.

yes, you should worry.

why should i trust you? you obviously don't trust us.

i forgot what an asshole you are.

i'm almost glad you're here.

i'm not your enemy. i'm just cautious.

i'm going to touch you, don't freak out.

i handled the situation very badly. i apologize.

i should have had more confidence in you.

it made me feel like a person.

i can protect you.

i wish you trusted me, but i understand why you didn't.

no one gets to walk away from that.

you have no idea what i am.

you're afraid, you're hurt, and you need to calm the fuck down so we can get through this situation alive.

i don't want to be here.
