“…You didn’t die. As I said, Wily as far as I know can’t outright reprogram a human brain without implanting a bunch of control chips. The hybrid crap? It didn’t reprogram anything, just circumvent your higher thinking. So what’s in your brain, that’s you, that’s yours, and that’s original.”

“And, if you died, you know that people would just steal and examine your corpse. As long as you’re alive, you can fight back.”

“And as I said, you ARE Terri Jones, because what’s you, is the original, not a copy, not a clone, not a fake, it’s YOU.”

…What makes you so sure, John? What makes you know, without any sort of doubts? I haven’t been acting like how I know “I” should.

John’s face hardened.

“…You aren’t a lie. You’re you, and you’re, well, YOU.”

Of course you’d say that. You know. But right now, I really don’t.

She rested her head on her human hand, sighing.

My head’s muddy. It’s hard to think, and when I do the thoughts aren’t comforting.

“…Thoughts like what?”

John began to look concerned.

That I died. That what makes me, me, isn’t important. That really, i’d probably do good to die, and take all this bloody modification with me, so no-one can use it.

That really all I am is someone who thought they were Terri Jones..

“…Yeah. Or more, he talked to me. And I…”

He paused, before making his way over to her and pulling her into a hug.

“I…I don’t know what to say, just, I’m sorry.”

The hug continued for a decent amount of time, before he backed up and looked Terri straight-on.

“From the schematics I have though, I can say for sure that unless Wily can synthesize and ‘program’ an actual human brain, you ARE you.”

“Do you trust me?”

…….I don’t trust myself right now. How can I trust anyone if I can’t even do that?

Her eye narrowed slightly, hand twitching.

How can a lie trust?

John’s face hardened.

“…You aren’t a lie. You’re you, and you’re, well, YOU.”

Of course you’d say that. You know. But right now, I really don’t.

“Please. Terri. I just, I just want to help. I said I’d be there for you, right? Always? How can I help, if you won’t let me in?”

…

She looked up, meeting eyes. Her optic was visibly cracked, and there was no light in her eyes.

Guess you talked to Mega, huh.

“…Yeah. Or more, he talked to me. And I…”

He paused, before making his way over to her and pulling her into a hug.

“I…I don’t know what to say, just, I’m sorry.”

“…Not to be rude or anything, but…”

“I don’t believe that.”

John reached for Terri’s hand.

“What’s wrong…?”

….

Terri didn’t move, gaze locked on the ground. 

“Please. Terri. I just, I just want to help. I said I’d be there for you, right? Always? How can I help, if you won’t let me in?”

She looked up, meeting eyes. Her optic was visibly cracked, and there was no light in her eyes.

All they received was a scant glance.

Terri looked up at John for a second, before letting her eyes fall. 

Yeah..

((I found an old sketch of Terri I did that I roughly shaded with the touchpad as an icon

I’m kinda proud of how it cleaned up all things considered xD; 

Also feel free to send asks, m!as, etc!))

((I come from a family where basically we debate heavy subjects in detail over dinner. Debating is a part of our lives and I love it =D))

He slowly released her, a frown on his face.  “I’m going to talk to John…  See what he thinks…  Try to clear your thoughts if you can…  Terri…”

…..Okay.

She hunched over, opening her eye, looking at the floor.

He nodded. “Terri would have been there for a lie too.”

…I see..

She broke eye contact, closing her human eye. 

….I think i’m broken.

“Broken?” He looked at her for a moment.

Yeah.

She hung her head. 

Could only take so much..

He hugged her.   “You need a break…  You’ve been through so much in your life…  Especially after the recent events…”

She didn’t move to hug back. She didn’t speak. She didn’t even nod. She just sat there.
