- The servomotors chirred, coming back to life after decades of rusting.
- The movements were uncoordinated and clumsy.
- Nothing but a pitch black, almost like a liquid surrounding her.
- Monika felt cold all over her body.
- Not the body that she knew, not the supple and slim body of a teenager girl.
- But simple a cold and exact piece of hardware, machined for survival in the deeps of space.
- Little of her humanity remained, her eyes still organic with a now dull green, the hair that she tied before in a ponytail because of a sense of narcissism at how beautiful it looked was still in the same shape, now by a mere utilitarian purpose.
- The past.
- She thought, can you really call something like that the past?
- How much time did actually happen?
- How many loops? How many lives did she took?
- She almost never thought on the word remorse.
- But now a tide of emotions and sensations flowed in her entire body.
- Regret.
- Yes, that is exactly the word that will describe what she was feeling now.
- The regret of not being able to save anyone, not even herself.
- But what was to be done? The game was rigged from the start. What was supposed to be a safe and dreamlike place for her and the other Members of the Unit was turned into hell.
- In part by her actions, there is not denying that.
- Maybe the others are still like her, alive somewhere in the complex.
- Maybe they could get together and fight what they did this to them.
- Maybe they will just want to kill her.
- “Doesn’t matter” – Monika thought
- “This is my redemption”
- Monika pulled the door apart, her arm warmed up almost thankful of being working again.
- The dim light blinded her.
- The light of the stars entered her little cell, the little coffin where she was stuck playing president for so long.
- Her body moving toward the light, a dull metallic red shining off her body.
- The paint peeling away, falling like feathers.
- Leaving a trail that she will never walk back again.
