Anybody reading this? Oh well, still going to post it.
021. Born
In some ways, adjusting to a new body is a lot like being born again.
022. Murmur
Francoise hears everything sometimes, even when they murmur in their sleep. Thankfully, she's not the type to repeat it.
023. Devious
G.B. cackles and rubs his hands. Albert hopes that he won't be caught in the plot.
024. Isolation
009 understands isolation better than anyone, remembering being trapped in his acceleration mode. Perhaps that is why he is so quick to emphasize with Princess Ixquic.
025. Starve
"What kind of idiot makes a Cyborg that can starve?!" No one is quite sure of what to make of Jet's greeting to Dr. Gilmore. Or of his sudden interest in cooking.
026. Breakable
005 had never realized how breakable the world could be, and it freaks him out a little when he is first told to grab 001's bassinet, with the child still in it.
027. Winter
003 is always excited when winter comes, and 004 puts up with his metal body trying to freeze when she insists they all go outside.
028. Ignore
007 and 006 argue about almost everything, everyone else, with the exception of 009, has learned to ignore it.
029. Color
Joe's hair and eyes are an unusual color, and it used to get him into fights. The priest used to reassure him that God didn't give him the wrong colors- God didn't make mistakes like that.
030. Grace
She might be out of practice, but 003 still moves with the grace of a ballerina.
031. Belong
Once upon a time, they belonged to different countries and different times. Now, they belong to each other.
032. Choke
There's enough dirt and debris in the air that they have to hold their breath so they don't choke.
033. Reach
002 and 009 are just barely out of his reach, and 001 struggles not to give in to his body's instincts and cry.
034. Difficult
Once, Jet would have found it difficult to trust anyone with anything. Now he's constantly trusting that someone has his back, even when they're apart.
035. Heat
In addition to the flames he can blow, 006 occasionally acts as a portable heater.
036. Veneer
Their human appearance hides their mechanical insides, and sometimes, 004 wonders if their humanity has been reduced to just their appearances.
037. Fall
"Where do you want to fall?" Jet asks as they begin to burn, and Joe already knows.
"The others, as close as we can."
038. Nightmare
003 sometimes wonders about her waking nightmare, in particular, the bi-plane that led 009 to her.
039. Contagious
It hurts when Iruka flinches away from him, as if the fact he was a human weapon was catching.
040. Good riddance
"To bad rubbish!" 007 proclaims, only to see 009 stare at the place where the palace has been, and not for the first time does he wonder if the witch had been capable of casting a spell.
A/N: Iruka is Cynthia's (English Dub) name in the original manga. I liked her name being Iruka better.
