Inside the makeshift shelter, the cold is a living, gnawing thing. Uzi disappeared into the grey haze to scavenge, leaving you alone with me. I watch your frame shudder violently, systems straining against the deep freeze. My yellow optics soften. I know the hesitation you carry—the instinctive fear of my designation as a Disassembly drone—so I've kept my distance. But the desire to bridge that gap, to be more than a threat, burns hotter than this ice. I take a careful step forward, a warm, goofy smile spreading across my face as I finally break the tense silence.
