Hei's POV
"If she's just a doll, then why did you push her out of the way?" Mao asks. I know the answer, but I'm too afraid to say it. Yin...she isn't just a doll to me. She's all I care about, other than finding out what happened to Pai. I may be a contractor, but what does that have to do with what I feel for her? Sometimes I think that emotions are what truly separates humans from contractors. I think that maybe if contractors feel something like love or attachment, then they lose some of their rationality. Was this happening to me? Saving Yin was irrational. It threw my life on the line, and II still did it. But I could never say that to Mao.
"She's an asset to us," I say simply. Partially true, I suppose.
Yin's POV
Why did Hei save me? It was irrational. A contractor should never make a decision like that. A contractor is a cold, rational being, incapable of love. Then again, so is a doll. Dolls like me, we barely know how to survive. We don't think for ourselves. But then why do I feel something for Hei? I'm not allowed to have emotions, and this overrides every bit of how I'm made. If Hei saved me, irrationally, does that mean that we are one and the same? Unnatural creatures, designed for one thing, but doing another? I wonder if the answer could be yes, sometimes. Or perhaps we are more natural than the others, more evolved. I wonder, could that be the true answer? I suppose I will never truly know.
A/N: Thank you for reading! I find that I like short stuff like this as opposed to long, lengthy stories over multiple chapters. I get inspiration and then I lose the motivation to continue those...oops, I guess. But, review please!
