Welcome to Calamity Corp! ....Where almost everyone is dead. Disasters have been getting worse and harder to survive for everyone, a lot of people have passed left and right nonstop.
Eventually, it all stopped, two people remained. However, they'll most likely never be able to feel true happiness ever again.

Model 08 was picking up things that contained people's spirits, the ones that had a terrible fate, and putting them inside of a box. Model 08 wasn't sure on what else to do besides that, their purpose was now useless. While Model 08 was searching for anything that they were missing, they found Theta's hat.

Theta's hat was in perfect condition despite everything that had happened, it had some dust on it, but it can be cleaned. Model 08 puts down the box and picks up the hat, staring at it. Model 08 froze for a moment, as if they were trying to feel something however their programming refrained it from feeling emotional feelings.

Model 08 slowly puts on the hat, their emotionless facial expression not changing. Model 08 then went back to picking up things and putting them in the box.
Model 08 stopped when they couldn't find anything else, closing the box.

Model 08's eyes turned to God Machine, who looked like he just saw a ghost.

God Machine was still in shock even after the disasters ended, Model 08 slowly approaches him. Model 08 stood there, staring at God Machine. God Machine was on his knees, hugging himself, and his grip tightened occasionally before softening his grip.

God Machine looked up at Model 08, his eyes widened with fear. Model 08's eyes were cold, very cold.

"What's the matter?" Model 08 asked, their robotic voice still sounding the same.

God Machine is silent for a moment, for once not knowing on what to say.

"...I'M AFRAID YOU CAN'T HELP ME." God Machine responded, his voice was trembling, it was still recognizable but it was more broken than ever.
"How so?" Model 08 asked again.

"I can tell something is bothering you. I can not ignore someone's distress unless if there is nothing I can do or if they want to be alone." Model 08 tilted their head, their monotone voice made God Machine's stomach churn, it wasn't comforting to him in any way.

"WELL... I CAN'T ASK YOU, I JUST CAN'T. YOU JUST CAN'T HELP ME AT ALL."
"NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRY TO." God Machine couldn't look at Model 08, he stared down at the ground.

"...I see." Model 08 hesitantly said, realizing that they weren't helping God Machine.
"I'm sorry that I can't help." Model 08 said before walking away, leaving God Machine by himself.

God Machine clenches his hand around his shoulder as in an attempt to calm himself down, to feel something besides distress. God Machine's breathing increased in speed, his heart beat getting louder.

It felt like his entire world was falling apart around him and he wasn't sure on what to do.

God Machine finally shatters, tearing up, and breaking down. God Machine covered his face with his hands as he sobs and sobs. His crying wasn't really real and neither were his tears but mimicking a strong human emotion was the only option left for him.

Model 08 stops walking and turns around, watching God Machine break down and be in a vulnerable state, Model 08 couldn't understand it.

Model 08 would never understand God Machine, no matter what they go through.
Unlike God Machine, Model 08 isn't very sentient.

Model 08 just stared, not having any sort of reaction or feeling from witnessing such emotional pain, they couldn't feel anything.
The only thing they felt was pity.

Pity.

It was a confusing concept to Model 08 at first but now they understood it, knowing that they can't help God Machine.
Model 08 understood God Machine's reaction in a way, as both of them had lost almost everyone, including the ones they've loved.

Model 08 slowly turned away from God Machine, looking up at the sky, the sun was setting.
The sunset compliments the destroyed environment, making it appear more orange-ish.

There was rarely any sounds besides from the wind occasionally blowing and the sounds of God Machine crying.

Calamity Corp will never be the same ever again, they'll both never be the same ever again, as they have the feeling of the world caving in on both of them.
