As you stand on the ledge you look to the ground. One step and all your problems leave you behind in the fall. All it takes is that one little step and you'll find out if you can really fly. Here on the top floor... You lost count but you think you'll count them on the way down. You move your leg over the lip of the edge...
"DON'T MOVE" calls a loud robotic voice. You fly backwards onto the roof as a mini Gravitron Surge pulls you towards it's green glow. A small projectile flies to where you stood and erects a wall of light. "For your own safety, please stay behind the barrier." Calls out the voice again.
You turn with tear stained eyes and before you stands a mechanical centaur with blazing yellow eyes that seem to smile at you as the four mighty legs click and clack upon the rooftop.
"W-why?" you ask in a voice you don't recognize.
In response the mechanical beast raises her metal hand and places it upon your shoulder. "Are you in distress? I have calculated that a fall from this height would be detrimental to your health."
"That's the idea!" you scream and rage as you vent your problems out to her golden face. Years of reasons and regrets, excuses and so many failures blast out and if it was a little brighter you could swear you saw her change color a few times as you rant and rave and scream until you can't anymore and fall to your knees clutching at her. "I just don't want this anymore..."
"Do you need a hug?" she asks wrapping you in her large metal arms. "On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate the pain?"
"I dunno? A million? why do you care?!" you ask as you try to escape her hold.
"Your safety is my primary concern." she says as she lets up, letting you stand again. "Would you like my analysis of the situation?"
"No, I want to jump!" you say as you make a dash for another edge of the roof.
"Cease your resistance!" she booms as you're grabbed and thrown through the door to the stairway. "I am programmed to avoid violence, however, I have made an exception." she says as she stands in the doorway.
"Do it then..." you say as you get up and take her gun , holding it to your head" "C'mon... Just pull the trigger or let me jump!"
She looks at you with a steely gaze. "I'm not moving."
You try to make her move by throwing yourself at her over and over again. "C'mon, It's not like I wanna do anything crazy..."
"Error 404: Sarcasm module not found." she says as she turns silver and holds her arm out like a shield. "Not budging."
You try and try again and again until you slump to the ground beating your fist weakly against her metal legs "Why..."
"Shine your eyes... Your life is precious and those around you would be devastated from the loss of your life." she says pointing to the stairs. "Don't believe me? Go and ask them. I am %98% certain they will be glad to see you again."
You start walking down the stairs as the hum of the centaurs mechanics fade into the sounds of the slowly waking city. On the way back down, you count every floor you pass, and it brings happy memories of your life flood back to you as fresh hot tears leak from your eyes.
Thank you Orisa.
