[The calm that settles in around them doesn't do anything to alleviate his own unease. Still, 9S releases his grip on his sword, allowing to to flicker back into place behind him. It seems at least in this area that they've cleared their opponents, and it doesn't take long to be sure of that. Even so, it takes him several moments longer to push down his own concerns and turn to face 2B again]

We made short work of this group, didn't we?

[As though nothing out of the ordinary just happened, he simply carries on. It's been the way of things for a long time, because he doesn't know what to do with the reality of his circumstances. The reality of what he knows. All that he's sure of is his fear of causing 2B more pain, assured that she has endured far too much for his liking as it stands.

Wouldn't it be worse to tell her the things he knows? The things he's done? She'd said in that recording she left in her flight unit that the time she'd spent with him was like light, and he fears now that he'll dim it by saying too much, or perhaps anything at all. This, it seems, is safest for all its difficulty.

Still, he presses on, because at least this way he believes he can't make it worse for her]


How do you think the others are doing?
