"But we can save you John." I protested.
"I can save you."
He smiled. "You can try...but I'm not human anymore, San. I've changed. They made me into something much more."
I sobbed into his chest, the tears overwhelming me. "John, please..."
John lifted my chin to meet his eyes. "San, there's still hope for you. Join us. You don't have to die like the others."
"But then I wouldn't be me anymore just like you aren't you anymore. I love you John. Fight them. You can still be you."
He sighed deeply, resting his thumb on my cheek as I gazed into his eyes. "It's too late now for me. Please try to understand. They lost. The humans lost and I am the machines beacon of hope to you. That you will not die if you join them."
