-That's classified information, Io. Sorry

Hmmph. Fine whatever, start.

-Alright, let's seeeeeee... What's your new body like?

Tch. What do you think? It hurts, these *stupid* arms get in the way of everything I do, this bulb blinds me. It's like swatting away a fly only for 10 more to come back.

-Sounds rough.

It is. If only there hadn't been an error in the paperwork or whatever..

-Ready for next one?

Just ask me, I'm not in any position to stop you.

-Okay, how does it feel having to-

-wear metal prosthetics?

Well, they're a little heavy, they lock in places so they don't move- Mind you these are Urbanshade arms and legs. Not expecting much on the quality side of things..
But I mean, they get the job done. Combined with this weird new strength I can lift a heck tonne of heavy stuff now. Benefits to that tank-threaded fossil once again.

-Don't let him hear you say that.

Mmm, maybe.

-Io!-

I'm only joking Kim, don't worry. God knows what would happen if he heard..

-You can be so annoying sometimes. (Rude.) Is there anyone you favour in the prison?

What kind of question is- Oh, nevermind I know who asked that, tell him it isn't him and that he should stop sending me weird messages or he's Vultūs food.

-Noted.

But my favourite? I never thought about that. I'm pretty good friends with Sebastian now though. We work on the submarines and maintenance together sometimes.

-Anything you'd like to tell us about him?

That's between us, sorry.

-Understood.

-So, do you think this new body has changed you mentally in any way?

Well. Except for the lowered self-esteem, not really.

-Okay, so who-

Wait. I mean there is this one thing.

-Go on.

It's like- uhm, a shadow? A-a weird like, version of me? In my head. It's like I'm being stаlked by myself.

-...Is there.. anything else 'it' does?

It grabs me, uh, tells me to, erm... kıll.. myself, murdеr other people... harm myself. It calls me a coward. Pathetic human being.

-Why do you think that is..?

...Because you, you *monsters* turned me into this-this thing.. Now I can't look at myself in the mirror, I can't sleep properly, I don't want to eat normal food, I-

-Well, what food do you want to eat then?

...You don't wanna know-

-Io, please.

Promise me you won't hate me after..?

-I'm your friend, too remember? Promise.

...
Flesh.

-...W-what flesh?

...

-Io, answer me-

Human.

-...Io.

You hate me, don't you?

-What? No-no-no no, of course not. We-we can fix you-

No.

Don't bother. Next question.

...

C'mon don't cry-

-S-sorry. Uh, what is your relationship with Z-779? (pAInter)

We're close now. We talk 'out art, I play him a few songs. He has his bad days, like really bad. He tries to end- end his life. Uh. He's hurting, and I want to help, but- he's a machine. All of his memories, his love, his fear, hatred, joy, it's all of printed circuits, and I-I can't risk losing or damaging that because I tried to fix him-

-Io! Hey, we can stop here if you wanna.

Pfft. You need it more than I do. I can tell.

-I guess I'm an open book. But-

Yes?

-Last few questions, in a group. These are from the workers here.

...Hit me.

-Uh. These are kinda heavy you don't have to answer-

Kim, just ask the question.

-Okay. Why do you think you're here? What do you think of Urbanshade? Do you- oh my god f-, not here. Do you think you'll ever see the sun again?

Wait, Kim what does the last one mean? Kim?! A-answer me? KIM!

-Interview over, subject too agitated to

continue. End session.

KIM!! I THOUGHT YOU WAS MY FRIEND? ANSWER ME PLEASE! KIM! KI-

*Kim leaves the room, muffled screaming emanating from the room, Io pounding on the door.
'Great, now we have to deal with this mess.'
A guardsman shoved past Kim and opened the door. Several shots were fired, and Io's screaming subsided, now quietly sobbing. The sedatives knocked her out, but not before she could say,

'You betrayed me. You think you can keep me down here? You're sadly mistaken. All of you

have dug your own graves. I will end every one of you, and you bet, I'll be smiling through it all.'

(ok you can comment now)

Io deserves a hug. Poor Io! :worried:

I'm loving this story though
