<I—>
-And then the migraine hits. Hard.-
-She grips at her head as the pain increases, and she ends up losing her balance a bit, and ends up steadying herself against the wall.-
-I-It hurts...-
-She's definitely unable to fight against it now!-
-You're in!-

... The last person I killed was Regina's mother.

"...O-Objectives...?"
-Ai's extremely worried now...-
-...but she can't focus because of the pain in her head. It's worse than her PSY Qualia-induced fainting...-
-...It... hurts...-
-...?-
-It's... getting blurry...-
-Harder to... think...-
-She... feels... weak...-
-The last thing Ai feels are her knees beginning to buckle.-
-Luis, Ai's falling!-
-luis looks down at her and realizes something-
-… he's holding ai-
-HE'S HOLDING AI RIGHT NOW!-
-aaaaaaaaaand he's freaking out now!-
LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!I thought I was protecting Ramona. That's what I said to myself. I didn't regret it in the moment. Killing the one coming after her, it made sense. It'd keep my daughter off the grid. And then, weeks afterward, I met Regina.
There's nothing I can do about it. I can't give her back her mother. I decided my happiness and safety was more important than hers, even if I didn't think of it like that at the time.
So I know how you feel, wanting to just... never open that part of yourself up again. The side that makes that decision.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Sandra leant against them-
It's not the same, I know. I've never been ordered to kill or killed as many, it's just...
If anything endangered you or Ramona, there's nobody I wouldn't sacrifice first. No matter how much it'd fuck me up inside.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
-She gently brushes a hand through their hair-
And now you're scared that's all there is to you.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She clasped their hands closely-
Eires Nada, you're not a bodycount. We've got to believe we're more than just a pile of mistakes. Mortals are lucky, most of them die before they get time to really contemplate all that. But us? We've got to live with it. And we're going to live longer than them and make more mistakes and do more damage than any of them and we've got to make it mean something. Ideally together.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Yeah well I vetoed that option hard.
-She kisses their cheek-
Best move I ever made.

-Wait, what?!-
<I don't want to get rid of my PSY Qualia! It... it connects me to my units, and I cherish that ability...>
-...-
<I just... I don't want to lose myself in it anymore...>
-...-
<Please don't get rid of it!>
-...You know, she actually isn't really fighting your presence much in the first place. She was mostly just startled.-
