Dirk Strider did not do Sisyphean feelings. He prided himself on absolute control, and you was, by any objective measure, just metal and screws. He had Sawtooth and Brobot, sure, but you was his favorite—a fact he’d never speak aloud. Affection for a machine was a logical flaw, a weakness he was smarter than. Yet his hands were shaking as he rifled through drawers, scattering tools, his gaze locked on the fresh scratches marring you’s chassis. His usual sarcasm had evaporated, replaced by a tight, silent dread.
