Repairing an Endo

For the next three days I kept helping Michael fixing the endoskeleton. Thanks to a little more explaining on his part, I know that his name is Ennard and that he has parts of various animatronics inside of him. He was quiet sad when he mentioned this animatronic circus baby. Rumors said that this place got burned down, just like the rest of the branches. Now that I think of it, wasn't  Freddy Fazbears that branch? Hopefully it won't get burned down, especially if the animatronics are still inside. I couldn't bear knowing that Sunny and Moon died in there...so maybe Michael felt the same with baby?
„You know...if you have a rare skin disease or something like that, I won't judge."
„Why do you come up with that?"

I looked down to him, since he was trying to get the cables out of the foot.
„You Are always covered up with clothes. Either you're trying to kill me or you are ashamed to show yourself. And I really hope it's the second one."
„Well aren't you a smart ass. Don't worry, I have no intentions to kill you."
„So...?"
He sighed and stood up.
„...Look. It's not that I'm ashamed, but careful. I don't know you that much-„
„Yet inviting me to your creepy shack in the woods countless times."
„That's different. I'm afraid you will run away and tell the next science foundation about me."
„Oh come on, it can't be that bad."
„A rotten corpse however is."

The ticking of the clock got louder and louder each second that went by. The only other thing I heard was my breathing. Not any other.
„Stop with the jokes. You're clearly alive."
He didn't say anything. He just stood there and waited for something I don't know about.
„...Can...can you show me? Believe it or not, this is not the craziest thing I know."
„If you promise not to tell anyone. This might be as pointless as trusting you, but-„
„I promise. And I never break those."
„...than don't try to freak out."
He lowered his hood and put his hair out of his face. Blank eyes stared back at me. His skin was not rotten, but purple and shriveled. I really want to know how the fuck he is still alive, but that might be a bit sensitive.

„Ok. I believe you. And I keep my word, so don't worry."
„No hard feelings, but trusting someone is my weakest strength."
„Yeah I get it. But how can you speak? Or eat?"
„A voice box and no. My organs got scooped out."
„Scooped? Like with a spoon?"
„A big one. It was made for dismantling animatronic."
„...ouch. I can imagine it clearly. How long has it been?"
„Years. Me and Ennard, who by the way leaded me in the scooping room, made a truce. He can see the human world while he helps me with moving. Yet he got stuck in a fire, which is why I have to repair him."

Something isn't adding up.
„If you and Ennard were together all the time, why haven't you asked about your father sooner?"
„Cause that pile of wires kept it for himself. I asked him multiple times, yet he denied knowing him. After a little fight, he left me alone."
„How Are you moving if he isn't inside you?"
„Simple: electric shocks. It brings signals to my muscles. I put all over my body some knobs so I can move whenever I please."
„Doesn't it hurt?"
„Yes. Surprisingly, having an six foot tall endoskeleton inside you is not so harmful as electric shocks."
„Well you are quite tall."

He is indeed definitely 6.3 or something. Kinda jealous of his height. It seems that nature mocks me with friends that are taller than me.
„Do you think the memory chip is still intact after the burning?"
„Yes. Sometimes it happens that the memory chip mixes with the A.I or in Ennards case, directly at this body. That's why it's so difficult to repair him."
„...Do you think he felt the pain?"
„I hope so. It would be a shame if not. Could you forgive your killer or feel pity for him?"
„...it would depend on why. If ts reasonable, I might forget it sooner or later."
„He used me as a skin suit for years! He killed me only to get out!"
„How Long has he spent in this place?"
„Are you on his side now?"

Michael glanced at me with hatred in his eyes.
„I'm on no one's side. People do crazy things if they see no other way anymore."
„He is an ANIMATRONIC! He is not a person!"
„He is sentient isn't he?! He developed a personality so he IS a person!"
„He still has no right to kill me!"
„I agree on that, but if you would have killed someone, wouldn't you try and earn their forgiveness?!"
He twitched and put his hood back on.
„...I know he wouldn't forgive me. Even after decades..."
„He...? Have you already killed-„
„PLEASE. I-...it's hard to talk about it. It was an accident. It wasn't supposed to happen! I...let's continue with Ennard. We are getting sidetracked."
