    Summary

    I have to hide it somewhere safe. But where? Since Tanaka found out about the fragment, the company probably could too. Maybe even easier than Tanaka did…

    Maybe he should give it back to Hikaru after all. But Hikaru had refused it before, saying he didn’t know if it would bring him back to normal. He even said it might disappear into his void forever. Maybe Hikaru should eat the fragment anyways. Even if it disappeared, that would still mean the company wouldn’t get their hands on it, right? Or would something crazy happen if Hikaru tried that…?

    Eat the fragment…

    No way…

    That was… certainly one place to hide it.

    Summary

    The illusion of solitude has been shattered now, and Kris will probably close the piano. Like all the other times when Noelle tried to connect with them on a level in which they didn’t wish to be understood.

    They open and close their mouth a few times. Their eyes are wide, as if surprised to hear their own voice.

    Kris turns to face them a little bit better. “Any song requests?”

    Noelle blinks. What?

    Susie and Noelle overhear Kris playing the piano. A conversation without the SOUL ensues.

    Summary

    As they traveled together, Falst learned that Dainix had a wake-up routine of punching and kicking at empty air. It was incredibly weird.

    Or: Falst joins Dainix for his morning exercises, and in the process, he gains a new perspective on martial training--namely, that it doesn't have to suck.

    Summary

    'The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… A mode of terror or pain is always the cause of the sublime.'

    Or, -

     

    "If I come out," Hikaru says, "all the way, you promise you won't be scared of me?"

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
    “Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
    “Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
    Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.
