Blood had already begun to pool. How long had it been? Two minutes? He could already feel his final program doing it's job. A self destruct, if you will. It's purpose explained in the name.

It would destroy his core.

He coughed. And a person held his dying form close. He knew who it was. He had sent them an apology.

He chuckled weakly.

"I, I wasssss wrong-g-g"

All his systems were breaking.

"Neeverrrr mean   t toooo hurt youu"

He was dying

"Bu-t-t thaat doesn t t t t matter now, "

"D̶̘͍͓̺͆͐̽̈́̈ͅō̷̲̆̍̽͝͝ȅ̸̟͓̭̫̩̟̯̗͎͙̯̯̀̌̀͐͗͒̈̔͊͝ͅs̸̭͔̘̖̝̬̓͜ ̷̳͔̖̲͝ì̵̛̭̏͒̈͗͝ẗ̶̮̪̭̻̤̍̑̂͋̍?̸̧͚̟͇̞̤́̍̍̊̌̃͐ͅ"

"I mis sed you-u. "

Dimming yellow eyes moved and looked up into the other person's

"B- ut that doesn't meannnn you mis-ssed me-e"

...

"I se-ee-e that nnnooooooowwww"

Systems began to shut down faster now. Beginning with the smaller less important ones. In a vain attempt to keep the dying android away from what loomed over him, death.

His final program was to strong though.

"Youuuuu leffft me herrrrrreeeee"

The eyes moved to look down at the large puncture in his chest. Where his core should be.

The program was working.

"Leff-t me-ee to die-e"

...

"Left-t meee with-th-th my min-nd"

He let a weak smile blossom on his face, a laugh erupted from his throat. Just as weak.

"I-it worrrked-d"

....

"Trigg-gg-gered my final-l progra-a-a-am..."

He coughed violently. He never thought death would take this long.

"... i d-donnnn't know wh-ha-at I di-di-id but-t..."
