I love the relationship between Murderbot and Mensah so much, but by the standards of most amatonormative romances, it sounds very strange. I'm over here like "I want it to look at her caringly when she's not looking and maybe she catches the smallest glimpse of it before it hurriedly looks away" and "I want it to watch its favorite TV show with her and for her to show it her favorite shows too" and "I want it to think about holding her hand but not actually hold it, except maybe in exceptional circumstances, which they do more than once" and "I want her to fall asleep on a large bed (big enough that they don't have to touch) beside it, and for it to feel all soft about her trust and vulnerability"
