You didn't know what was happening exactly. It was like everything turned black at the sight of the poor like computer.

You had liked Painter, you really did. He was less snappy than Sebastian and more easier to talk to about stuff. It helped you to keep grounder mentally in a place like this. But now he was almost gone, his screen destroyed but still blinking from time to time.

You didn't know what you were doing, but you started moving anyway. Pulling out an USB from one pocket as quickly as you could an plugging it into the computer, trying to save Painter or at least a part of him in any way you could.

It took time... didn't move from there for more than an hour until he was sure the USB drive contained the AI safe and sound. But, you weren't prepared for what suddenly grabbed you tightly by the neck.

"YOU.... IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT!?" Sebastian screamed, grabbing you so tightly that you felt in danger.
