Day 56: Bill's Hardware (Morning)
While speaking with Peter had been amusing at first, it hadn't taken long for their conversation to go down dark paths. It wasn't really the kid's fault, though, and so Harvey ended up just dismissing himself as quickly as he could once the bus arrived in town. It was impossible not to notice the snow, but he wasn't very interested in it, even as

Heat.It had been cold the last trip into Doyleton. A cold and rainy day that grew worse with every passing hour. That day she had met with Heat and together they talked about escape plans and weapon building. Flame throwers. They had also talked about friends lost; those that had fallen to the institute's lies, and those that had died ( ... )

How could he have let himself fall asleep like that?! Was he really that tired to let himself sleep through a night where he could have found Alita and an escape route out of the institute?! Now Sechs had a pretty good idea on how Kibitoshin must have felt that one morning when he approached the Replica in a state of near hysteria over sleeping in! It was a frustrating and grating feeling to say the least, and Sechs mentally noted to himself to be a bit easier on the next person to come crying to him about sleeping through a night. He couldn't berate himself enough over missing any opportunities to bring down the institute and return to his former place ( ... )

Misha...The girl Sechs saved back when he was battling that crazed Whophon during the Z.O.T.T... The one girl out of many who were brainwashed into joining Whophon's cult, the only one Sechs managed to save from being hypnotized into killing herself. Once freed from Whophon's control, Misha's eyes were filled with utter loss... Sechs couldn't deal with her at the time, allowing her to leave the arena alive despite the judges announcing her as the last member of Whophon's team. Sechs could have easily finished her off with one hit, like stepping on a miniscule ant. But he didn't. It was just too easy. What ever happened to that girl anyway ( ... )

Yet the talk of weapons was pushed out of Sechs' mind once again. Friend... Nearly three weeks ago, Sechs would not have understood the importance of that word; he would have just brushed it off with a scoff and left Aigis and her annoying "friendship" concept behind, like what he did with Misha...
But so much had happened during those past long weeks. The word "friendship" had far more dimension to it, more than Sechs could have ever imagined when he first came to life as an AR agent two years ago. Thanks to his time with people like Kibitoshin and Forte, Sechs had learned first-hand on what friendship really meant. To the Replica, its definition had grown to be nearly as meaningful as the word "battle"; its layered meanings including team work and victories -- but also loss and pain, something Sechs could sense and ( ... )

However, Sechs' brief excitement died out a little in his words. Frowning to himself, the disheartened Replica pondered for a moment before giving his head a determined shake. "Although my progress has slowed down a bit since I ended up here, but I'm getting whatever I can out of this dump before I escape..."
Sechs stopped, his feet frozen to the spot as his turned rigid before Aigis' reaching hand -- only to relax at the soft touch of gratitude from the fellow android. Unfortunately, he knew for sure that his face was displaying some shade of red now! Sheesh! Just when he was getting used to Kibitoshin's acts of kindness ( ... )
