….It hurts.
...A gunshot hurts…
...Heh, I am such a fool aren’t I? Trying to protect others despite never shooting a gun before…
They came right through the defences… mostly Lessers, I guess we weren't worth more than that to them...
The other engineers were too slow, only a few managed to even fight back… I had to do something…
Heh, Rasmus would sneer at my stupidity wouldn't he? I should have just hid and not play hero.
...It is cold…
Ah… I can see Fea… So Rasmus made it after all… I knew she would not die so easily… I am glad.
...That girl… Alicia, she is with him it seems… good. Rasmus will need someone with him… He is too kind for his own good… Even if others can't see it. I can… she will need someone with her when I am gone…
Rasmus is running over…
“There are two other survivors inside… They are hiding in a storage closet…*cough cough* help them...”
“Alicia. Help him.”
“Hehe, I am glad. You do care after all.”
*cough cough*

”...I Don't think there is anything the little kid can do for me, I am not as sturdy as you.”
I grab her hand by the sleeve, to make sure she looks at me. She must listen.
“Save the others… stop that bastard…”
Please… do this for me...
“Okay.”
Hah… I can rest easy then.
“Take-*cough* Take care of yourself.. It was an honor...”
Gazing at the concerned face of the one I love…
...It is not a bad way to go.

*Pov: Rasmus*
…
“So, what will you do?”
There is nothing to be done.. He is dead
(“...Rasmus? Are you ok? Your wound is bleeding”)
“You are such a failure, you know that? So painfully close to human, but just a machine where it counts. “
… Shut up…
(“...Rasmus?...”)
“Just a cold mechanical man, no heart or purpose. Its no wonder that everyone knows.”
Shut up.
(“Rasmus. Say something!”)
“That you are just a broken weapon”
Shut up. Shut up sHuT uP “SHUT UP!”
*grap*
“Rasmus…*cough* Its me… I cant breathe…”
Alicia is in front of me… I am holding her by the throat….
A familiar figure appears next to her.
“So what is it going to be, Tin-boy? Run away, like you always do.”
She gestures at the burned camp and Lee’s body
“Or are you actually going to do something?”
