Uzi Doorman didn't exactly know where she was right now. After being dragged into the pit and sacrificing herself for N... she really only remembers falling for a little bit before being engulfed by a bright yellow flash. After that... darkness. She didn't know if she was unconscious, dead, in purgatory, or whatever messed up thing the universe could throw her into now. But she does know she's cold, tired, hungry, and... and alone. Utterly alone in the black void. This... this is where she dies now, if she isn't already, she guesses... only one thing really left to do now. Checking all the old human music she downloaded from a lifetime ago, she picks out one that she hasn't listened to in a while but would probably be... fitting for a time like this. She starts the song and hears the dude humming and the light snare drum for a little bit before the lyrics start.
(You're on your own~)
Understatement of the century.
(In a world you've grown~)
(Few more years to go~)
(Don't let the hurdle fall~)
(So be the girl you loved~)
(Be the girl you loved~)
That girl would be very different than the one she is now.
(I'll wait~)
(So show me why you're strong~)
(Ignore everybody else~)
(We're alone now~)
She thinks about all the times she would go back to her room angry and frustrated that nobody else would believe in her. That she would sometimes just... cry when she was alone to vent.
(I'll wait~)
(So show me why you're strong~)
(Ignore everybody else~)
(We're alone now~)
Then the synth came in.
(Suddenly, I'm hit~)
(It's the starkness of the dawn~)
(And your friends are gone~)
(And your friends won't come~)
She can't believe she actually had a few people she could call 'friends' to begin with.
(So show me where you fit~)
(So show me where you fit~)
Where... exactly does she fit now?
(I'll wait~)
(So show me why you're strong~)
(Ignore everybody else~)
(We're alone now~) (we're alone now)
She thinks back to all the times her Dad would ramble about the doors instead of talking to her. But after everything that began to happen... maybe he was starting to open up.
(we're alone now)
She recalls all the times Thad would be the only drone in the Bunker to check on her and talk to her and be one of the nicest dudes on the planet.
(I'll wait~) (we're alone now)
All the teasing Lizzy would do to her. Her overall stuck up and petty attitude over her that... well Uzi would sure take over this.
(we're alone now)
Doll dying right in front of her. Her mangled-up body dropping as dead as a doornail before her core was brutally eaten by Cyn.
(we're alone now)
Kicking who was apparently her Mom into the same pit she fell down in after talking to her for like ten seconds at most.
(I'll wait~) (we're alone now)
V giving herself up to the sentinels. That despite all the times they butt heads she actually... trusted her.
(we're alone now)
Meeting N for the first time after blowing his head off.
(we're alone now)
Their talk at camp after she got done eating her classmates.
(we're alone now)
His horrified face after she pushed him away with the keys.
(we're alone now)
The fact that she... maybe sorta had feelings for him.
(Suddenly, I'm hit~)
(It's the starkness of the dawn~)
(And your friends are gone~)
(And your friends won't come~)
Hopefully N used those keys to get away somewhere far away from here.
(So show me where you fit~)
(So show me where you fit~)
Then Uzi awoke.
