The Companion Cube

All it wanted was to help.
That is that the Companion Cube lived for, really.
All it wanted to be was a friend. It was called the Companion Cube.
GLaDOS, the Queen of Aperture Science, told them the Companion Cube couldn't talk. It could, it really could, if one would listen.
The Queen also said it wouldn't stab them in the back. Was that to make them nervous?
No, never. The Companion Cube would never harm its friends, even if they did always burn it.

It was happy, even if Chell did burn it.
The Queen threw it after Chell, the Queen told it to keep her safe.
The Queen wouldn't tell the Companion Cube why the Queen wanted Chell safe, it didn't know why.
Chell was its friend anyways. The Companion Cube protects its friends.
GLaDOS does tell us that the Companion Cube can't talk, and it won't stab you in the back…
Though considering how much of the rest of what GLaDOS says is BS, maybe it can hurt you…
Come on now. It's called the Companion Cube for heaven's sake.
… So?
It won't hurt you… Talk on the other hand…
Many inanimate things talk.
There are times you really scare me, Aorta.
