The Engineer fidgets with their wrench, bitting it nervously. Their feet tapping onto the floor repeatedly. Their goggles covering some part of their nervousness. Remembering some part of the Medic's and Heavy's conversation.
"What dockor mean? Engineer isn't Dell?"
"Well- right now, he's Engie. Dell isn't Engie. I know that it seems strange. But- you know about other personalities, right?"
Why does Medic know? How did he know? They have no idea. But they do know that Medic thinks that they're unaware of that they're a personality. Oh how he's so wrong. They let out a sigh as they place the wrench back onto their workbench. Letting their mind goes over the reason why they're here, and why they're protecting Dell in the first place.
They know why their host is like this, why he wants to hide away and never come out. They let themselves shut their eyes.
They recall the memories of being touched, not the friendly kinds, going to forbidden places, pain following everywhere it went. They remember Dell trying to push his tormentor away. They remember him getting punched. Yelled at. Called names. They fidget with their glove at the Memories.
They recall screaming, crying, begging for whatever to stop. They slammed their hands against the workbench. Useless, worthless, they don't know how much they begged and pleaded for the things they did to stop.
A small yelp escaped them as they slam their head against the workbench without knowing it.
...they really should go to sleep.
