CLU

I came looking for you earlier, because I found this, I think from the zoo… and I went to that room you had been in, last time I came back from the city, and you weren’t there, but the wriggly thing liked the flowers, and they matched so I brought you these.

Uh, what is it?

That was… very thoughtful. Thanks, sweetness.

The wiggling thing is a snake. Dunno what breed, so I’d be careful not to scare it. Their fangs can contain toxins. Do you want me to drop it off at the zoo?

I can do it if you will tell me where it is. I just didn’t know what to do with the snake… it was in one of the buildings whose insides I was redesigning.

...I have never seen the safehouse so near to empty

Where has everyone gone?

Never been caught when a building collapsed above me

But I imagine it must feel a bit like this.

I’m tired of hiding in a room, until I can work, and working until I’m ready to fall, only to head back to the room.

There must be more than this.

There used to be.

Where’d it go?

So much damage, and so much strain on all the buildings of this...

So much damage, and so much strain on all the buildings of this sector… I can’t imagine what must have happened here.

And we’ve taken far too long to fix the things that need it. I should never have waited, should have gotten straight to work.

…

He’s still here, though, isn’t he? I cannot wait until the day I can retire from exhaustion, and not feel him near me.

Retuning to the safehouse earlier today; apologies.

My energy output has been greater than my intake, and I need to rest before I return to my work on clearing the businesses to blank templates.

Hey, it’s no problem at all. Don’t worry about it.

Someday there’ll be a guy who gives you attention and affection because he really does care. *squeezes her hand* I’m sorry someone broke your heart like this. You really didn’t deserve it.

Perhaps I did. I didn’t believe them when I was warned.

And he is a User. That is what they do. They use us.

I should have known better than to believe in him.

They don’t always use us, Ivy. Sometimes, programs will even use Users! Don’t think it was cause he’s a User—it wasn’t. It was simply because that’s how Dillinger’s done a lot of things to get his way over the years. It’s not the group; it’s the individual.

This is true; Kevin Flynn has never been anything but kind to me.

And my own user was, by all accounts, wonderful.

I don’t know. I’m confused right now, and mixed up.

I’m sorry. Maybe it’s better that I.. go for a walk, or maybe just idle out.

I don’t really know what I need. Don’t know what else I’d say. I just feel all… hollow.

Hurts.

… yeah, a hug’s really all I can give you.

Don’t worry. Ivy. Things’ll turn out okay in the end.

Of course they will. I’ll just— I’ll go back to working, and ignore… all this hurt.

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to heap my problems on you.

Ivy? What happened?

Everything. Nothing— I.

Edward lied to me. About… everything. About love and wanting me, and it was all a lie…

He just wanted me to hurt Kevin.

I don’t know what to do anymore.

… oh, Ivy, I… that’s terrible. Is there anything I can do? Need a hug, shoulder to cry on, someone to talk it through with you?

I have a hug here, if you want it.

Thank you, LUC. I… I need it.
