Oh Arthur the Wonder Robot. *sigh*
Looking forward to more.

"When I am not interfacing with you, it feels like there is a glitch in my system, of sorts. Like my programming is corrupted."

Who could say no to that?????

I think that's the sweetest thing any robot has ever said... ever. (And who cares if he's a robot - Wonder or not - he's Arthur and THAT is all Eames should need to know!) Can't wait to see where this is going!!

“No, Eames,” Arthur says softly. “You...you were unique.” This sentence just hits me in all the right ways. Eames is unique, and so it would explain why Arthur...feels like there's a glitch in his system, as you say :) Because how could a robot be programmed to know how to deal with someone like Eames? That's how I feel, at least :D

Loving this!

“But you have become an integral part of my fundamental processes, and...when I am not interfacing with you, it feels like there is a glitch in my system, of sorts. Like my programming is corrupted.”

That's the soppiest, cutest, most ridiculously awesome thing for a robot to say ever!

They both can help but love each other despite the chasm between them!
