   Summary

   Charles Ogden Gears worked as a well oiled machine. He functioned on binaries, thought in logic gates, moved through precise calculations. He was a being of objective rationality; if something did not have a use, there was no need to care about it. If something had to be done, there was no need to feel guilt over it.

   Like all good machines, he required maintenance. Like all silly, foolish, irrational humans, he still felt guilt.

   And so he bleeds.
