Chapter Text
“YOU’RE FUCKING SICK!”
Vax’s sensors inform him that this is an above average volume. Yelling.
Two figures he identifies as Maker and Mami are in front of him. The first people he has ever seen but who he is able to identify the moment he was activated approximately 44 seconds ago.
The yells come from Mami, whose voice is hoarse as he waves his arms in the air. He throws things at Maker, things that Vax doesn’t know the names of. Something hits Maker and he stumbles, then Mami closes the distance and punches him in the face.
Maker’s screen cracks and he falls onto the ground, sparking with electricity.
Vax is not sure how to respond – he only has one directive in the corner of his vision.
-love Mami
Maker clutches the side of his head, words coming out of himself distorted and ugly. Vax is unable to decipher what he’s trying to say.
“Do you realize how fucking insane this is?” Mami shouts. “You think this fixes anything?”
Maker goes quiet, ducking his head and huddling closer to the wall.
Vax thinks there should be a response from himself.
-love Mami
He loves Mami.
The directive remains.
-love Mami
Mami comes closer to Vax. Close enough that Vax has to tilt his head up to look at his face. Mami’s lip has curled up, revealing bared fangs.
Maker makes a soft sound from the floor.
-love Mami
Mami’s arm swings towards Vax and he hears a crack and his world tilts sideways. Boxes with flashing text crowd in front of his face.
