[Bury the hatchet. The time of mourning was over. She could not allow her emotions to run rampant any longer. It took her a few days, but eventually she fell back into the once old routine of keeping a stoic expression. Every now and then, she would remember something, and lose herself. But as the days went on, it became easier to control herself. The memories were so distant, but when she closed her eyes, she could remember them vividly. Oh, how delightful they were. It put her at peace, knowing he felt that way for her all the time. It would have to be enough. Pod 042 broke her from her reverie. "YoRHa unit No. 2 Type B. Report to command center to be briefed." She nodded and mechanically went through with her duties. Life would return to normalcy. The sun would rise and fall, and there would always be more robots to fight. That is, until he returned. His phantom apparition would haunt her, for days until she was reunited.]
[His eyes fluttered open to a woman with a veil draped across her nose. "Good tidings, YoRHa unit 9 Type S. I am your operator 21O." It takes a moment to register, but 9S slowly picks up the pace. "Oh...Well, hey there! Nice to meet you! I can't wait to work with you!" "Yes, that's a nice prospect, working with me. Working with you would be a different story entirely." With that said, she turned around and left. "Wow, are the arctic winds blowing today or what?"]
[If she was given one wish, it would be to end their fateful meetings. After all, sorrow begets more sorrow. Blasted things, these feelings were. Had she never possessed them, there'd be no need for all this pain. Did whatever god that created man feel pain like hers? It was said that the deity who did created humans in their likeness. So humans played gods in turn and created androids in their likeness. And now, it was her turn to play god, having the power and say over him. Her sense of time was not measured in minutes or hours, rather it was measured in the number of times he was slain. 9S made it seem like 2B was his world, but from all his efforts it only ended up being 2B who relied on 9S to fill the missing holes. The cycle was about to begin yet again, she intuitively knew it deep in her soul. She chided herself not to develop feelings for him again. This would be the last time. Regardless of whether it evolves platonically or romantically, she swore to keep him at a distance. "Emotions are prohibited." But the god that made humans was selfish. "Emotions are prohibited." The humans that made androids were selfish. "Emotions are prohibited." And 2B was indeed a greedy, sinful, monster. "Emotions are prohibited." Like a mantra, she deluded herself into believing that this time, things would go right.]
