    Summary

    Every morning, when Chihiro washes his face, he spends a good amount of time looking in the mirror. Once, he tells Shiba that he calls it fresh hatred, but it’s more than just that. He hates his scar — it grosses him out. Even three years later, it’s still a completely different texture than normal skin, slick and shiny in some places and hard and gnarled in others. It pulls on his face when he speaks and tightens up when he showers, becomes chapped and cracked when the weather turns. It aches and throbs when he gets too emotional, gives him migraines that knock him flat for days at a time. People stare at it until they realize he’s noticed them looking. More than once, a child loudly comments on it before being shushed by their embarrassed parent.

    Summary

    Summary

    Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.

    What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.

    The answer was probably a solid "both".

    All of my organic parts told me to run.

    Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.

    Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
    Gender: fem-neutral

    I shoved the feed ID at ART.

    The negotiator?, it asked.

    She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.
