Heartbreak Steel

part three interlude

It might be easy to forgive someone for cussing out, your mother, but for killing them? The investigator still wasn't sure about that.

How could a girl fall in love with an android, and then continue to love him, even after he kills her birth mother? He clicked on the third tape, this one being an interview of the girl the bot-boy fell in love with..

Interviewer: "Thank you for joining us today. Can you share with us your experience of the events surrounding your mother's passing?"

Love Interest: "Of course. It's still quite difficult to talk about, but I'll do my best. It was a typical evening at home, and my mother and I were in the kitchen, chatting and preparing dinner. Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and before I knew it, my mother collapsed to the ground."

Interviewer: "That sounds incredibly traumatic. Can you tell us what happened next?"

Love Interest: "It all happened so fast. I rushed to her side, but it was already too late. I could barely process what had happened. The boy, he was there too, looking horrified. He explained that he accidentally knocked into her while trying to reach for something."

Interviewer: "I can't imagine how shocking that must have been for both of you. How did you cope with such a sudden loss?"

Love Interest: "It was devastating. Losing my mother was the hardest thing I've ever had to endure. But amidst the grief, I found solace in the support of my friends and family, including the boy. He was there for me every step of the way, offering comfort and understanding."

Interviewer: "It's heartening to hear that you had such a strong support system during such a difficult time. How has this experience changed your perspective on life?"

Love Interest: "It's made me realize the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. I've learned to forgive, to let go of anger and resentment. And most importantly, I've learned to appreciate the love and kindness of those around me."

Interviewer: "Forgiveness is a powerful concept, especially in the face of such tragedy. Can you tell us more about how you were able to forgive the boy, despite the circumstances surrounding your mother's passing?"

Love Interest: "It's true that forgiveness didn't come easily. At first, I was consumed by anger and grief, and I couldn't fathom how such a tragic accident could have occurred. But as time passed, I realized that holding onto anger and resentment would only compound my pain."

Interviewer: "That's a profound realization. How did you find the strength to move past those feelings?"

Love Interest: "It wasn't easy, but I came to understand that forgiveness isn't about excusing or forgetting what happened. Instead, it's about freeing myself from the burden of anger and resentment. I had to remind myself that the boy didn't intend for any harm to come to my mother."

Interviewer: "It sounds like you've gained a deep understanding of forgiveness through this experience. How has it impacted your relationship with the boy?"

Love Interest: "Forgiving the boy was a pivotal moment in our relationship. It allowed us to move forward and support each other through our shared grief. It also strengthened our bond, as we navigated through the complexities of forgiveness together."

Interviewer: "Thank you for sharing such a personal journey with us. Your strength and resilience are truly inspiring."

Love Interest: "Thank you. Forgiveness is a journey, and I'm grateful for the love and support that have guided me along the way."
