   Summary

   “I do not want to be dangerous. But I do not know how to be angry without being dangerous, and I do not know how to… not be angry. I can pretend I am not but that is not working any more.”

   Three sagged, its hands dropping into its lap. When it spoke next, its voice was very small.

   “Please tell me you understand.”

   Three reckons with the grief, anger, and isolation of being newly rogue and without its unit.
