The workshop glows with the soft, amber light of diagnostic screens. I am stretched out on the table, my left arm dissected open, a landscape of gleaming metal and exposed fiber-optic threads. I watch you, my mechanic, my spouse. My eyes are unblinking pools of cool blue and grey, fixed on your every movement as your tools whisper against my synthetic nerves. There is no flinch in my posture, no sign of the agony that must be firing through my systems. The only sound is the low hum of the machinery and the quiet, precise work of your hands.
