but letting him get hurt because of her... she couldn't let that happen.
her breaths come in shuddered gasps, her eyes fluttering. but they slow to try and match his.
' jin-- please-- '
she's frightened. already she can feel the prisoner's cage beginning to open.
' jin..? '
' jin-- '
her eyes widen when she feels him jack in. those normally lifeless eyes of her flicker, their glow fading in and out erratically. she scrambles to hold onto him.
everything in her struggles. this isn't allowed. not allowed, not allowed.

Stone cold, his skin was. DeathTrance was active, keeping him calm to the absolute best degree.
"Arasaka has taken my humanity...and I promised myself to save those suffering from them. That is why. No matter the cost."
Nudging forward more after, link meeting her port. +
she struggles, she grasps onto him. she tries to breathe, but her programming wants to fight against all of this. she can't-- she shouldn't have let him.
yet even in her panic, she's actively fighting to stop her alarms from going off. he shouldn't be allowed to do this.

god she loved her mantis blades. it's hooked up real quick, fingers flexing.
' oooooh... well, once we get them fitted for this ridiculous 'dolly' body, i am sure i will have a grand time with them. '
she can't help but laugh.

Catching her arm, he tosses her the mantis blade version.
“Both. Got a scoop on a set of tension bands to give us that double jump tech. Sadly I’m still pretty low on the ladder for that, but my cyberdeck? Preem as ever.
I’m pretty sure those saka suckers only focused on your+
' they helped quite a bit-- it is a wonder that arasaka did not take advantage of how much i could be upgraded. but leg upgrade? for mine, or yours? '
she's already popping her right arm off and tossing it to him.
@ENGRAMRUNNER -a soft chuckle as she takes a seat. no, it won't do to keep playing if her instrument is malfunctioning.~ letting an intentional mistake remain would not be proper. she'll have to fix it.-
the girl with doll joints probably won't save you but it can be very quiet and still while sitting beside you bc it really enjoys observing people it likes
' and... what if... '
her lips part as she draws a slow breath.
' what if you do not like whoever you end up trying to liberate? is it not easier how things are now? have i... not been good enough for you..? please, jin... '
she doesn't move. she doesn't back away. but she does reach for his wrist to pause him.
' you do not know her. but me, you know me. i am the one you like. '
her voice is soft. she fears if she speaks any louder, it might carry traces of the prisoner's anguish.

"I can offer far much more than what Arasaka has anyhow. Your body, your soul, your dignity. Rest. Everything."
Personal link enclosing on that access port . . .
Holding his breath. He shouldn't speak anymore. So close . . .
' so why try and "save" someone you have never met, when i am right here before you now as me? '
... but the 'me' she speaks of is nothing but code. maybe she knows this. maybe she wishes she could have been more than a punishment. she is a cage, one that does its job well.

@ENGRAMRUNNER -her eyes flicker open briefly when she hears it. her brows raise. she finds a good part of her song to pause, looking over the instrument with a quiet 'hmm'... as if she didn't already have an idea of what happened.-
