“Original crew was twenty-three. Now is only me.” That octave-drop … I think it’s emotion. “They … did they die?” “Yes.” I rub my eyes. Wow. The Blip-A had a crew of twenty-three. Rocky is the sole survivor and he’s understandably upset about it. “Wh … er …” I stammer. “Bad.” “Bad bad bad.” I sigh. “My original crew was three. Now it’s just me.” I put my hand up against the divider. Rocky puts a claw on the divider opposite my hand. “Bad.” “Bad bad bad,” I say. We stay like that for a moment. “I’ll watch you sleep.”
Ah my fucking heart 💔
