Who: SecUnit, Charles, and eventually other people depending on how things go lots of other people, everyone join in
What: SecUnit checks up Charles, no one has a good time
When: Just before the start of the Story
Where: The stacks
Content warnings: SecUnit getting accidentally bricked

Every time SecUnit or one of its drones caught sight of Charles, he seemed to look even more dead than the last time.

Which was weird. He was already dead (which was also weird), surely he couldn't get any more dead. You were either dead or you weren't.

Whatever. It wasn't SecUnit's problem. Charles wasn't one of its humans. It didn't need to worry about him.

(It worried about him.)

Eventually though, it gets to the point where it can't ignore it anymore, and it stomps over to where Charles is in the Stacks.

"What's wrong with you?" it demands.

...Dawn take them, he says, muffled, as if he didn't want Rin to hear it.

And then, out loud: Allies, then, if not friends yet. I cannot promise no one will fear or hate you. No one can. But I can promise that those who would act on it will answer to me, and I know the others from Mundus feel similarly, at least.

Okay...fine. 'Allies' it can tolerate.

Then it has to pause for a moment, to have another emotion.

(Part of it wants to protest, that it doesn't need protecting. It's a SecUnit. It does the protecting. A bigger part of it is just feeling melty at the fact that Hikaru would defend it at all.)

...Thanks, it says.
