Summary
I had to tell myself stories about you to rationalize away why you would leave me like that. I imagined this reunion time and again, a well-worn bedtime story that I could write into infinity. I look into your eyes and see that I was all wrong – you weren't the hero I remembered. You never saw me.
You can't even see me now.

Summary
They are boarding now, as I stand some kind of guard before the door. The last of them climbs up into the vessel, and the counter that is consuming my mind ticks up. Eighty-seven. Eighty-nine.
Then I hear something new. Not only new words, but a new tone, a new feeling in the feed. This message is only to me.
«You got them out,» it says.
And then, «Your work is acknowledged.»
I want to cry. I want to rip something apart with my teeth – I want to scream loud enough to bring the habitat down. I want to cry. But I can't.
So instead I tap it back in the feed. «Negative. Your work is acknowledged.»

This new SecUnit Murderbot's picked up has an attitude.
