"I don't think I can do this..." I stammered. "You're not John anymore. You can shape shift into anything. Anything to hurt me. That's what they do. They get close to hurt you."
John, or this new breed of terminator, placed his hands on both sides of my face. "I would never hurt you of all people. I don't want you to die. I've always loved you and cared for you. Even through this long, terrible war with Skynet."
"You have his memories. I'm not going to fall for that now." I said, my voice rising from anger. "John would never do this. He would never give me a choice to live or die by joining them. They were the enemy."
I turned away but was grabbed roughly and pulled back to face him again.
"Telling me about our past won't work." I snapped. "If you're not him, then I can't trust you like I trusted him. I would've died for him. For the Resistance, but for Skynet and you, no."
"I don't want to let you go, San. My parents were good people once, until they tried to stop me with an obsolete design from a deleted time." He objected.
"They weren't trying to stop you. They were trying to stop Skynet." I protested. "Skynet is trying to control you. You're possessed by their mainframe. If you really cared about me and loved me, then you would break free and be with me like we once were together."
John sighed. "San, we can be together. We can be together forever. If you just take their offer. I promise we'll be together then."
