Lost and Lonely [Male human reader x Murder drones]

Chapter 12: Heartfelt confession

Y/n's POV

I stand up, to greet Doll.

"Uh... hi, Doll." I say, feeling oddly mixed about the current situation.

"Y/n... are your hurt?" Doll asks, in English.

"I'm... ok for the most part, they weren't going to hurt me, thankfully. And, uh... nice English." I say, surprised she just spoke English decently well.

"I'm still learning, but am doing so more, to better help you understand faster, than to read my screen." Doll says, clearly still learning, but much faster than a human could.

"Well... I appreciate you trying to learn English for my sake. Are you ok? You look shaken up." I ask, noticing that her whole demeanor is rather tense.

"I... am... fine. I... I saw you get took, and I thought you might have get hurt. I see that you where chain up when I final made my way to you, you must have been by yourself for while." Doll says, expressing a hint of concern in her voice.

Wow... her voice... it's so nice... regal, even. I can't help but smile that she's speaking broken English, to try to communicate better. "Thanks, Doll. And, you're English still needs some work, but you're doing amazing for having only started recently." I say, standing up.

I realize standing next to her, she's just a slight little taller than me, maybe an inch or two. 

Doll looks away for a moment. "Sorry... for net... aroving right away two save you."

I just wave her off, as I walk towards the broom closet door. "Don't sweat it, in fact... I think it's better this way." I say, flashing back to hearing everything V told me.

... I'm going to have to see her again... with what N told me about her, and what V herself said... as much as I'd disagree... V really does see something in me, and... she'll be devastated when she sees that I'm gone... I... I hope that she'll be alright. I hope that N can at least be there to make her feel better. Even... even if they so easily kill and slaughter drones just like them... they're still... people. People just like Annie... just like me... ugh, I hate this.

E... she's just like N, V, and J... as well as L and K... yet, they're all different, just like people... and all people, no matter what the odds are, or what they've done with their whole life... people can still change. I've seen criminals turn their life around, and be a good person again, even though they're responsible for good innocent people losing their life...

But N, V, and J aren't just killing because they have to... they clearly want to, and don't care if they do it in the most... brutal ways... that worker... I'm ashamed for forgetting their name, and... I'll never see them again... their friend will never see them again... it's... it's not my fault, but... it still hurts so much.

I clutch my chest, and force myself to walk forward, but I feel Doll's hand on my shoulder.

"I... know that you've lost your family... I... I heard your... breakdown... with Uzi. If... if you want someone to talk to... who fully understands your pain... then... I am here."

I turn back and look at her, seeing her face. Seeing her here, she's completely different than how she looked when she first saw me. She's... she's a genuinely caring person deep down. Her face shows genuine concern, not the untrusting apathy from before. And she hasn't ratted out E...

I don't know why, but something in me causes me to hug Doll in that moment.

"Thank you Doll... I... I'm ok. I'm fine... but... thank you for showing concern. And... thank you for understanding that E isn't a monster. She hates that she's been forced to... kill and consume drones like you, and... I know that you're an orphan, and you must have lost your parents to the murder drones... so thank you, for sparing her from any pent up wrath you'd rightfully have..."
