When I first watched the 2nd season my first words after ep 8 was "DOES THE PHONE HAVE DADDY ISSUES!?" guys I called it so fucking fast

Cobs had always been distant. Mephone never had a 'father figure' in his life. Why should he? I mean, his 'childhood' lasted maybe a month or less before being thrust into the harsh reality of life.

That childhood could barely be considered such anyway, most of his time struggling to complete his tasks, and anxiously waiting for the approval of that jackass of a creator.

Sometimes, he felt jealous of other organic objects. Most of them got to have childhoods with.. fathers. Parents. People who cared. He hated being jealous, especially of Bot.

  Their situation was fucked up, but Fan and Test-Tube were so accepting of them wanting to be their own person.

  It hurt. They get to have a childhood. He knows he should feel happy for them, but he feels resentment to his own childhood or lack of thereof.

OJ was kind enough to him. He let him stay in his hotel even after suing him, and after Mephone crashed a plane into it. He'd ask him if he was okay sometimes. That made him feel that same longing from last night. OJ was responsible and caring, he acted almost like a... father to Mephone.

That thought scares him.

  He had spent 12 years on the run from Cobs, the man who created him, the man who was supposed to be like a father, the man who ruined him. The man who ruined many other of his creations. 3GS, 4S, Mepad, probably countless others he'd never met before.

He's scared that it wouldn't be different.  That OJ would hurt him like Cobs did. It's irrational but, better safe then sorry. He'd rather have no one then to be hurt again.

He generated a cookie, and he took a bite. Digital tears stream down his screen.

Could it be different?
