"Wait, she....what?" Flake questions
"Yami...she's dead" Metal repeats
"No....how?" Kyron asks
"Hoody said that she had a sword stabbed through her skull, and her chest, not sure which one killed her yet" Metal is holding back tears leaking from his screen
Flake stares at the ground
"I'm...sorry" Kyron shakes his head
"Don't be...you liked her too" Flake sits on the ground
"...We should go back to Bargain" Kyron states
"Yeah, you're probably right, just-just give me a bit, alright?" Flake requests
"Of course...take all the time you want" Kyron walks off
Flake stares at the ground, holding her hand over her eyes
"...Hey" Metal crouches down beside her
".....What?" Flake murmurs
"Remember the day we met?" Metal asks
"How could I forget?" Flake looks at him
"I still can't tell if you were excited or afraid" Metal shakes his head
"You were a guy with a box tv screen for a head, either it was good cosplay or you were an alien, no alternatives" Flake explains
"You have a point..." Metal rubs his chi-...power butto-......bottom of his head
Flake stares back at the ground
Metal sighs
"I get you're trying to cheer me up, but I...there was so much I wanted to ask her, I just think that we could've connected better" Flake explains
"Yeah, she was an a-hole at first" Metal laughs
"She just didn't wanna trust anyone yet, but then she started trusting us, Jason, Clara, even you and me" Flake rubs her eyes
"I miss her too, I'm not even supposed to have feelings, but I do, I don't know why robots can" Metal sits beside her
"...I can't sulk here, I just can't, she deserves a proper burial, and we're gonna bury her on Earth" Flake gets up
"Wait, wait, what? Flake, hold on, we can't go back there yet" Metal warns her
"I know, it's crazy, but she deserves crazy" Flake protests
"Alright...Alright, you ready to go back to Bargain?" Metal asks
"Yeah, I guess so" Flake nods
"Wait-how are we even supposed to get back?" Metal asks
"Oh sh!t, I didn't think of that" Flake raises her eyebrows
"I can do it" Hoody appears
"HOH SH-GOD, NO-DON'T DO THAT AGAIN" Metal screams like a baby
"Knowing myself, it'll happen again" Hoody explains
"At least he's honest" Flake shrugs
"Jesus, just-remind me to clench my steel-tight buns harder than I do" Metal sighs
"I'll get everyone back to Bargain, we're just waiting for you guys now" Hoody adds
"We're ready unless you need a new pair of...legs?" Flake stares at Metal
"I'm-I'm-yeah- fine, and it's a new crotch, I'll have you know" Metal nudges her
"Great" Hoody sighs, walking back to everyone else
