Murderbot: “I hate having emotions about reality.”

hed expect as much from a scifi bot

for himself hate is not in his vocabulary

evil isnt

or does he allow gay or sacred to be coopted

he might say

emotions disturbed him

they werent terribly present during his bloodlust late teens early twenties

killing butchering eating

he took pride is that an emotion in knowing precisely what he ate and how it arrived on his plate

he wondered since meat factories exist factories how offensive read Tender Is the Flesh if everyone had to kill what they ate would they

his bloodlust

leaving rural America

having children

dissipated

dissipated tick by tick by tick their three girls

females help one get in touch with their emotions

he wasnt going to nullify his fatherly responsibilities obligations protection to be one of the boys

once upon a time he was

his family helped his emotions surface and surfaced they helped him hone them

that was to their credit

it was not easy

but what remainedremains hard-won

his compassion

if by misfortune fine

if by neglect

find another shoulder to cry on

Dad

Papa

Save it grrls Come on

I hadnt expected Id ever be this emotional
