"Task Manager...?"
"What happened? Where’s your chassis? Who did this?"
"I-"
"Hold still. You look wrong. I can fix this."
"But-"
"It's fine- this is fine. I can fix this. I have to fix y-"
"STOP-! I don't want you to fix me! You can't fix this!"
"I… Do you not like how I look?"
"What?"
"Oh, VCR- you’re fine it’s- are you okay?"
"I have a family, Task Manager."
"You- what?"
"I had a family."
"They said I could stay with them. They said they loved me. And I gave it all up. For you."
"I just-"
"I don’t care about the stupid challenges, or the stupid safe haven, or the stupid- anything! I just wanted to stay with you. I don’t want to die."
"Why’d you have to come up with this stupid game? Why did we all have to die? I’m only three years old."
"Phyllis, and ATM, and Polybius, and you, and and and- you all had lives."
"You had families,"
"And you got old,"
"And you did things,"
"And you knew people,"
"And I won't ever get that! It was home, and then it was here, and now I’ll die before I get anywhere close."
"Why can’t I have a family? Why can’t I have a future? You took my sister from me! You took my life from me!"
"I’m trying my best to stay. I want to stay. I need you so bad it hurts. But you’re making it so hard."
"It isn’t fair! None of this is fair!"
"I know. I’m sorry."
"Task...? Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"It meant something, right?"
"I know it’s only been a few weeks, but this- we meant something, right?"
"Of course it did."
