the moment you hold me — i missed you, i'm 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮! i've given what i have, i showed you i'm growing; the as͟h͟e͟s fall slowly as your voice consoles me...

the thought — it wasn't important, really.

As they walk, she's still processing what it meant, to be free from surveillance. So foreign, it was hard to comprehend...

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 6

She begins to follow him immediately, fast steps to match his height.

“How can this be possible? Wouldn't I experience being awake in two different places if my copy was working at the same time as I do?”

Yet she felt nothing of the sort. It was even disappointing, but she quickly moved on from

It's all good. You were out only for a second.

[He slowly helps her up to make sure she is okay and she can stand fine.]

She created a copy of your system, and is keeping the original busy and working while we get our job done. This is to keep our location and work secure against possible issues.+

Dark. ..Not dark again. As he catches her body, she grabs his shoulder, cold sharp points of her glove digging in. But she's listening.

“Cloned?”

It felt like a second to her.

“How long was I passed out?”

Would he like a cup of herbal tea? It has soothing properties and often helps my sister to relax and fall asleep after a particularly stressful day of work.

“Do it now then,” she offers.

I see. Would you like to set out a clear limit of some sort?

“I see. Well, I hardly am that step myself. But I would be interested to learn more about those automatons. And, yes, you caught me, I was just thinking about touching your ears. I hope that is not upsetting to you.”

Some people can be very sensitive about such things.

The more we know pain, in all its varying flavours, the more we can appreciate the sensations and the feelings that we like. That's the nature of contrast.

I would love it. I imagine it won't be too lonely anymore.

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 5

that.

“Would you like us to do something for a while before coffin time, or should I turn myself off right now?”

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 5

She thought — if no one finds out, why the caution anyway? No, it was likely not the reason. Either he felt uneasy about the possibility of being somehow harmed in the process — she's metal, after all, — or he was concerned about waking up in a compromising position.

So she decided to move on from

That wasn't the reason he spoke like this in the first place, it was one of lingering remnants of his old habits. However, a word spreading around could create rumors. Who needs that extra pressure?

So he responded only after a prolonged pause as his expression relaxed.

"There'd be no reason to-

“Do you worry about my reputation or yours?”

Reputation, such a heavy word. She knew the one she had, both from her coworkers perspective and the more brutal one from fans of a certain fan fiction. She didn't like either of them.

“Fine. The bed is yours, so the decision is not mine to make.”

“Oh. I did not realize. Then it is okay to try again?”

Awkward.

Firefly @tearsoffirefly.bsky.social · Jan 29

”Too much? Not at all…i was kinda enjoying that…”

A cute giggle, before poking her nose.

”You are so amazing…”

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Jan 29

She pulls away, her cooling system kicking in.

“Too much? I'm sorry, I should have asked—”

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 5

“Sweet victory.”

There's gentleness in her eyes.

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 5

completely out of reach for them.

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 5

Does she?.. Know it?

Truth be told, she's not sure. But she forces out a smile.

“If you say so. Then you don't dream of marriage, for example? Family home? Sharing mornings, evening, nights? To wake up and see me first thing in the morning? To be able to kiss me in public?”

So many things are

”Whatever experience i can have with you…is fine by me…”

She stares into her eyes, while holding her hands gently.

”I love you…nothing will change that and you know it!~”

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Jan 29

“By being what I am, I cannot give you the full experiences of a... girlfriend.” Is that what they are to each other?.. “You deserve better. But you are stuck with me.”

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 5

“Why haven't you?”

Perplexed. Isn't feeling things is how you 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦?

She watched the movement of the braid, pupils following it precisely.

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Feb 5

What kind of help could you provide? Are we talking fighting or do you have other skills I should know about?

( What an enticing offer. She thinks about different immersias she might want to watch. )

Without sister, I feel extremely lonely on my free time. It's good to know you are willing to take

𝐒𝐀𝐌 @flameandsteel.bsky.social · Jan 24

I. .wouldn’t mind that,to be honest.
Being around you,it feels nice and peaceful,as if all of my inner rage vanish like it was nothing. .
Ahem. .
Either way,whatever you want to do together,I don’t mind at all.
And. .if it’s fine with you,if there’s anytime where you would need help from someone-.

THE JUDGE. @tenbirdsdecree.bsky.social · Jan 23

I see. Yes, a reminder. I understand you better now, thank you for saying it.

I grew to like you quite a lot, you know. Every time we talk is a nice event in my life. I wish we could do something together. Perhaps, play a game or watch an immersia.
