Stress Test Anon Bad End: Hold Me Close.

>"These Warranty extenders are expired" The Desk jockey said, looking at you with a glazed over look, obviously not caring that he's just given you the worst news of your entire life "New Ones have been put out and company standards say we can't accept the old ones anymore" he explained flatly.
>You just stood there for what feels like an eternity, Those warranty extenders had been the only thing keeping Lulu from being declared an Outmode, from being taken away from you, From ending up being recycled or scrapped entirely.
>You barely remember shambling off after the uncaring employee flatly asked you to stop holding up a line that didn't exist, the numbness of despair screaming inside you as you lurched into your car and barely resisted the urge to run yourself off the road by thinking of the horrible thought of leaving Lulu and Sammy alone, fearing what would happen to the both of them.
>Sammy can immediately tell that something horrible has happened by the look on your face, and rushes off to get Lulu seconds later.
>Breaking the news makes the sickening pain and horrific numbness even worse, Lulu is inconsolable and Sammy is beside herself with rage.
>Finally you speak, and the tiredness in your tone is enough to immediately still them.
>"Lulu, I promised I'd be with you until the day I died, remember?" You ask softly, gently touching her face.
>"I-I-I do, but if I'm an Outmode they'll take me away Sir!" she wailed in despair.
>"It's not fair!" Sammy Raged "We go through so much pain, overcome so many obstacles, and then this happens!?" the usually chipper Maidbot shrieks on the verge of hysterics "I can't lose you just as much as Master can't!"
>You hug them both close, and then a memory comes to mind.
>"Hug the Mannequin for eleven seconds, please" You ask from behind a blast shield, looking at a stop watch.
>At exactly 10.1 seconds a deafening explosion rings out, and when you peek out from behind the shield both the Nandroid and the Mannequin are completely destroyed.
>"Lulu, Sammy, let's all go out together" you say, confounding the Maidbots.
>"At a Time like this you're thinking of spending a night on the town!?" Sammy Cries "How could yo-" She tries to rant, only to fall silent when you place a finger on her lips.
>"I don't mean going out into town" you say dead seriously.
>Lulu figures it out before Sammy, a look of realization and horror spreading on her face but when it clicks for Sammy it's simply a look of understanding.
>"I couldn't live without you Lulu, and Neither can Sammy, and I couldn't dream of Leaving Sammy behind so let's just all go together" you explain, feeling oddly light at the idea.
>The Maidbots look at each other for what feels like forever, before their faces steel in determination.
>You write a simple note, Maryanne gets pretty much everything but a few odds and ends you think Johan would like, you don't have any family or next of kin so it's not like it could really go anywhere else.
>The next thing you know, the three of you are sitting on the Couch, watching one last Episode of Our Sleepless City together, and despite what's coming you feel content.
>Smooth Jazz plays as the credits roll, you turn off the TV.
>Lulu hugs you first, nuzzling into you as if your body would shield her from all the hurt in the world.
>Sammy follows immediately, holding into you for dear life
>"I'm scared" Sammy admits softly, 4 seconds.
>"So am I" Lulu replies as you wrap your arms around them, 7 Seconds.
>"I love you both" You say calmly, 9 Seconds.
>"We lo-" they start to say, a deafening explosion drowning out their words in a second of heat and sound followed by nothingness.
>The Police are called, coming as quick as they can to the report of an explosion going off, there is no one injured, but one fatality.
