Summary
“I can’t send this to the publisher,” his agent announces, before Trent can even say hello. “Are you serious, Trent? If this is some sort of joke, I don’t get it—”
“It’s not a joke,” he says levelly, pouring himself a second scotch. “I’m being professional, that’s all. If I wrote a book about my mother I’d have to disclose she was my mother.”
“Interestingly, the identity of your mother would not fetch quite so many headlines as you being in hopeless gay love with a Premier League manager—”
“No need for the ‘gay’ part,” Trent tells her. “Just ‘hopeless love’ will do, thanks.”

Bookmarker's Notes
I'm a SecUnit, I'm designed to want to keep my human clients safe. I'm a murderbot, I'm designed to enforce compliant behaviour in the humans I'm inflicted on. I hate to see humans I'm looking after in pain (I hate it if I have to be the cause of that pain). I like to see human characters I like in pain if they're not real. I like to see Gurathin, a human I am looking after, in pain, if it's not real. I apparently like to see Gurathin in pain, even when it's real (and he likes it) (does he like it?) (and it's real) (and I like it) (and it's real). I'm a murderbot and I'm a fucking malfunctioning piece of shit.

Summary
The augmented human turned on his heel and left, trailed by a drone. I continued to stand around for a bit, facing but not really looking at a large, leafy shrub that the humans had placed in this area for aesthetic purposes.
Aesthetics mattered to humans. They mattered to me, too, I guess. There were unquestionably things that I liked the appearance of: my favorite jacket, the glitter of lights across the hull of a nice ship, the color of the tiles I’d picked out for my shower. Even some of Ratthi’s handmade jewelry held visual appeal—don’t tell him I said that. But a sentient entity? A SecUnit?
Me?
What a bizarre concept.
In which Murderbot notices a disturbing trend.

ART, can you make me uglier?
ART dropped a sigil of exaggerated horror into our feed. Who told you?

Bookmarker's Notes
Apologies for trying to maintain some semblance of my dignity, he retorted, subvocals strained, but still sounding very much like Gurathin.
I don’t want you to maintain your dignity, I said.
