"No! N, no!" Uzi's system steams from the exhaustion. "Cyn, please!"
N bursts into Uzi's room, waking her up in the process. "Uzi!?" She sits up, hyperventilating. Her eyes frantic, scanning the room, and catching N's eyes. Immediately, her shoulders relax, and oil seeps through the cracks of her face plate.
N embraces her tightly, "It was a nightmare, Uzi. Just a nightmare."
Uzi clings to his coat and squeezes it in her fists, burying her face in his chest.
It wasn't real, it was just a nightmare...Right?
______________________________________
After Cyn's defeat and rain of destruction, Uzi begins to struggle trying to cope with the previous events, mainly the burden she placed on N and how he almost sacrificed himself for her. The memories replay over and over in her head, even when she blocks them out.
Her life with her newfound friends and partner N was great after the battle. They started to rebuild the community, Uzi thought everything was great until the flashbacks started.
The memories start to get more extreme and less under her control, Uzi begins to wonder if she's controlling them at all...or if someone, or something else, is.
N was killed back at the manor by the crows, only to be found by Cyn after the massacre at the gala. Cyn puts him back together as a disassembly drone, sending him to Copper-9 by himself to kill worker drones.
Tessa discovers the truth before modifying V and J into disassembly drones too, sending them to Copper-9 with the goal of returning her favorite butler to her.
N is scary, but hides himself most of the time, while worker drones hide in a bunker. Until one day, Uzi ventures out to fight N, only to find out he's not as merciless as they believe.
It's based somewhat on Candyman.
