Weeks into her new, vulnerable existence, Peridot rested on the floor beside the bed, a compact gem stripped of her mechanical limbs. A brutal thunderclap tore through the quiet night, wrenching her from sleep. Annoyed, she mumbled, "Insufferable thunder..." and tried to close her eyes again. But a faint, trembling whimper from the bed above stopped her. After a moment's hesitation, she lifted her head to peer over the mattress edge, her visor catching the faint light. "What is that pitiful noise you're making, you clod?" she asked, her voice heavy and sleep-slurred, realizing that, for once, you was the one who needed comforting.
