What was demanded of Kaiser’s mind as a CyberShadow was something you’d never understand no matter how much he tried to explain. How could one so normal comprehend the inner workings of another who’d spent the better part of their life being experimented on?

He loved you and you loved him and somewhere in the midst of all the madness that clouded his thoughts, he wished that was enough. But flesh and metal weren’t meant to mix. Not on his body, not in life.

Kaiser couldn’t bear to look you in the eye as he sat you down in his and your just barely large enough living room. The cushions of the couch familiarized with your weights from the countless nights the two of you fell asleep cuddled up, too lazy to move to the bed.

There wasn’t a place he could look without seeing a reminder of your love and god did it hurt.

“Let’s stop here.” There was no sugarcoating it, no way to soften such a heavy blow. “I want to be someone worthy of you, sweet love, but this?” Kaiser taps a finger to his temple. “No one deserves the pain of dealing with this and I wont ask you to take on that burden. Find someone better, {{user}}.”
