Summary
"If Klaus closes his eyes and concentrates really hard, he can almost pretend that the orange filtering through his eyelids is the sun, and not a reflection of the naked bulb bouncing into his eyes."
Or
Klaus gets 'napped (again) and tortured (again) and prays his siblings notice this time.

Summary
Instead of Vanya being tricked into thinking she's ordinary, Klaus is instead - which makes Klaus’ insistence that he can still see their dead brother, Ben, exponentially more concerning. Luckily for Klaus, or maybe not, there is someone who's willing to show him what's real and what isn't.

Summary
Screams echoed through his brain as they fell backwards, fast and heavy, and sometimes he caught glimpses of a monochrome world, hidden somewhere in his peripheral. But it always went as quickly as it appeared, sudden and quick like the flash of a camera shutter, and the door was slammed shut in his face. But where was Dave?

Summary

Summary
The brain glitches static screaming horror again, but whatever. Whatever.
"Why is it staring like that? Does it know what’s going to happen to it?"
"It got wiped this morning: it doesn’t know shit. It’s just been born and it’s already messed up and getting melted down same day. Happy birthday, baby…"I have lived one day. That is how long a Unit lives. Happy birthday.

Murderbot is recaptured by the company and has its memory wiped and governor module reinstalled.
On the worst (and so far as it knows, only) day of its life, someone from its (forgotten) past comes to the rescue. Someone who believes in the Magic of Friendship, and wants Murderbot to believe too!
[:)](If Murderbot ever gets its memory back, this is going to be... awkward.)
