    And bots? I ask.

    Your breathing hitches, an artifact of your human imitative code. What about them?

    What do you imagine doing to them? You wrap an arm across your torso, a defensive gesture. I add, The answer will not disturb me.

    Summary

    ART said, more cautiously than I was used to from it, This is more akin to physical touch than what you usually find tolerable.

    I knew that, but I didn’t like thinking about it. It was fine.

    ART took me at my word for it, and having it squish me became part of the things we did when I was anxious or plagued by stress toxins in my system. Sometimes I asked it to do it even when I was feeling okay. It was a nice feeling. At the time I thought of it as comfortable and relaxing. Without someone physically present touching me, it registered more like the pressure of being underwater, and that just didn’t repulse me like touching skin did.

    It’s true that it was relaxing, but the reason I liked it so much was secretly that it felt good. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself at the time, but I kept asking ART to squeeze me, and eventually things escalated.

    He was certain the Fairy of Shuiyuntian were duplicitous snakes. Nothing would convince him otherwise.

    Not even the Goddess of War herself.
