Shortly after Doll's rather.. disappointing funeral, Uzi made her way into the hallways of the bunker. She glanced around her, making sure no one was around as she arrived outside Doll's unit.
The purple haired Drone sighed and started to wedge the door open with some difficulty, but managed to push the metallic sliding door wide enough to squeeze through. Ever since Doll passed, her housing unit had it's electrical power cut, since there was no use for it anymore, the residents inside were all decreased afterall.
Uzi sighed out of relief and squeezed herself through the opening and dusted her black dress off. She continued inside, careful not to accidentally step on the robo-roaches skittering across the floor. The inside was pretty dark, if not for the faint red lights just barelt illuminating the place.
She walked up to the dining table and held back the urge to cringe as she looked at Doll's parent's corpses, their faces contorted into terrified expressions before their last moments. She quickly looked away as she spotted one of the roaches crawling out of Yeva's mouth lifelessly hung open.
She turned her attention to Doll. Her corspe, seated in a chair at the dining table with her parents, her screen was shattered with a mix of blood and oil trickling out of the hole in her visor. Uzi sighed and pulled up a nearby chair to sit on the opposide side of Doll's corspe.
Why the hell was she here? She had no reason to be here, the only reason why she dropped by was because her dumb brain thought it was a good idea. Just some stupid thought about how it was the right thing to do after her funeral.
After some hesitation, she spoke up while she diverted her gaze to another side of the room.
"..I know this is.. stupid. Coming to see you when you're.. yknow. Dead."
Uzi spoke quietly.
"But- I.. I just wanted to see you I guess."
Uzi paused again, as if weighing each word that she spoke. She looked back at Doll's corspe, as if she subconsciously expected a response.
"The funeral just ended. It was.. pretty lame. V's still pretty salty you tried to kill her. Heh.."
Uzi forced a chuckle as a pathetic attempt to lighten the dead atmosphere. She paused for a bit as she thought about what to say, her digital brows furrowed with slight frustration.
"Ugh.. why the hell am I so nervous about?? I'm just talking to a corspe!"
Uzi whined and rubbed her temple as Doll's corspe just looked back at her lifelessly. The purple haired Drone sighed.
"..look. I know you're.. not here anymore, and its pretty stupid that I'm here in the first place."
She gently tapped her index finger on the table and fidgeted with the hem of her dress.
"I dont know why it took me so long to realize that.. all those times. You were just trying to help me. And yourself too i guess.."
"..."
"..I'm- I'm glad that you were trying to help me. And- I'm glad that you tried, even if you're dead now. I just wanted to let you know that."
Her fists clenched as she spoke, and glanced back up to Doll. She groaned and shook her head.
"Who am I kidding. This is stupid."
Uzi said with some frustration as she stood up from the chair but continued staring at Doll.
As much as she hated that stupid red-eyed robot, she felt some sympathy for her. After the events of her saving the universe, she had sometime to think and let everything sink in, every event that happened leading up to the big fight. She felt pretty bad for Doll. All she wanted was to avenge her family and save herself and Uzi.
She started to recall Doll bleeding out from her torn open chest started. Watching as her body was dragged away and her core was ripped out and devoured.. She cringed and shook her head to stop herself from recollecting Doll's last moments.
She grumbled something incompressible and looked back over to Doll. Her digital optics softened as she started to dig through the pocket of her dress and pulled out Doll's button eyepatch, holding it by the torn straps.
"I found this when i was.. uh.. Whatever, I just thought it would be nice if you had it."
She said softly and walked closer to Doll. She carefully picked up her limp hand and placed it on the table, she placed the eyepatch in her hand and helped to close her fingers around the eyepatch.
"I hope.. I really do hope that you're at peace right now."
Uzi gave the corpse a small sorrowful smile before letting go of her hand. She stood there staring at Doll for a few seconds before she quietly made her way towards the door. She squeezed her way out of the opening and dragged the sliding door close with a soft clank.
