「 Be safe, Enker. 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThey watch him go. Desperately do they want to run to him, to find that age old comfort in his arms.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤBut they don't.

( ..I love you. )

( Enker is almost tempted to say something more, but once they make it clear they want to be left alone, he just nods. )

I won’t cross that boundary, then. I hope that you find peace, Maestro… and that we will speak again sometime soon.

( He forces himself to turn and head back into the woods. )

「 ..I don't know. I'm so scared that my reasons will never be my own. 」

「 At the very least, I need to be alone right now. For my nerves... 」

( He looks up towards Maestro again. )

I know I fight for my /own/ reasons now… and perhaps you haven’t found yours yet. But for me, the search was worth it.

I don’t want to see you wither away in this place. I want to /help/ you, and I’m sure Darma does as well.

「 How am I supposed to trust myself with anything..? Everything I've done in the past decade wasn't even my own choice. This is something I /know/ Ra Moon wouldn't want me to do. 」
mirrorbusters.bsky.social
( He frowns, gazing away again upon seeing that he isn’t helping Maestro’s mood. )

Your concern and care for your loved ones is yours.

If you cannot trust yourself to protect all others, then… the ones you care for would still be a reasonable start. But isolating yourself isn’t the answer.

「 No! God no! I-It's just... 」

「 ..I don't know how many of my own /aspirations/ are truly mine. I can't trust those, then I can't trust anything. 」

/You/ do not have ulterior motives behind it, unlike Ra Moon, as far as I know.

You would not forcefully control other robots to complete that task... right?
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 Well... yes, intentionally. I /want/ to protect Earth. But I'm not sure if that's for good, or because Ra Moon wanted me to. 」
dawnbroken.bsky.social

mirrorbusters.bsky.social
Not /intentionally,/ though, correct?

You cannot be held at fault for something outside of your control; and certainly something you weren't aware of.
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 How do you know that? Everything I've done has been to help Ra Moon— all except for helping Darma and leaving the Tower. 」

mirrorbusters.bsky.social
But you /are/ different than that. You would never harm anyone undeserving… that I know for myself.

Your origins do not define who you are now, Maestro.

( Enker can say this from experience. He hopes that helps a little. )
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 No. Darma and Duo took them out... but I knew I couldn't be a /security guard/ with that knowledge. 」

「 Especially since what Ra Moon wanted me to do was... protect the Earth on their behalf. The same thing I've been doing this whole time... 」

Every day, I fear the idea that Dr. Wily may try to reclaim me…

( He sighs. )

Is Ra Moon still out there, in that temple?
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 ..a few months ago, Darma and I returned to the Lanfront Ruins for answers. And Ra Moon... brought me back to who I /was./ Who I really am... 」

「 ..a violent champion of their reign. 」

「 Maestro is a mistake. A beautiful, wonderful mistake, but... I can't help but fear I'll be fixed again. 」
mirrorbusters.bsky.social
( He raises his eyebrows, expression growing even more concerned. )

Why do you say that…?
dawnbroken.bsky.social

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThere's no getting out of this without explaining what happened, is there?

「 ..I'm a danger. 」

( Enker picks up on the pause. He’s too observant not to. )

I believe you. But… will you allow me to ask why?
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 No, it's alright. I'm honored, honestly, I'm just... 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤA danger. Better away from others.

「 ..more suited to be out here. 」

( He wonders what they were looking at; or if they were looking at anything at all. It’s too dark in there for him to see. )

If you insist. I apologize for being overbearing.
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 I don't have temperature like you all, so don't worry. I can't feel it. 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThey shake their head, looking back into the cave. But before Enker can comment on it, they look back at him.

( He’s silent for a few seconds before he decides to tell them. )

… You always have a place among me and my family, if you require alternate housing.

That isn’t meant to patronize you. I simply… worry for you, staying out in this freezing weather.

「 It's clear when you're thinking about something. What else is it? 」
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 It's clear when you're thinking about something. What else is it? 」
mirrorbusters.bsky.social
Y-Yes, I’m fine.

( It’s an awful lie. )

Perhaps I worry a bit /too/ much, that is all…
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 ..are you alright? 」
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 ..are you alright? 」
mirrorbusters.bsky.social
I see that now. You have always been quite resourceful, it’s very impressive.

( His voice is quiet. He’s clearly holding back a few words. )
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 I know I can. I just... haven't needed anything. 」
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 I know I can. I just... haven't needed anything. 」
mirrorbusters.bsky.social
I see... I'm very sorry to hear about that.

( Enker returns to sitting down, this time against the wall of the cave entrance. )

... If you need anything, you know you can contact me.
dawnbroken.bsky.social

「 I was at the Tower for a short while, but... 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThey trail off, looking away as well.

「 ..it didn't work out. 」
