How he always managed to get sucked into having company was beyond him.
"You robots ever heard of baseball?" asked one of the humans sitting across from him.
Casshern normally wasn't very talkative, but these humans fascinated him so much that he actually replied. "Baseball?"
"Human game." The older human of the two held up what looked like an oddly shaped wooden pole. "Someone called the pitcher throws a ball and someone on the other team has to hit it with one of these." He shook the pole. "A bat."
Casshern didn't say anything as the human swung at the air. "People could play it at school or do it as a career."
"Did you play baseball?"
The guy nodded. "Yeah. I wasn't the best at it, but I wasn't bad. It was fun."
No one said anything, so Casshern stood and started walking.
"Wait."
He turned.
The human hesitated before speaking. "A woman told us that Luna takes away the ability to die. Gives people immortality. Do you think she was right?"
"Yes. Luna does nothing but take away mortality." He turned to keep walking, but stopped and looked back once more. "Who was the woman? What was her name?" He didn't know why he asked, but a gut feeling told him to.
The human shrugged.
But, just as he was almost out of hearing range, he thought he heard the younger, quiet human say the name of the person he missed the most. He froze, eyes widening. No…she was dead…it wasn't possible.
Was it?
