Seven months.

Seven months since the incident. The snow grew colder, as did an expression from a certain drone.

He somehow grew a bit taller, but the yellow in his visor was duller. A sleek killer, awaiting his prey.

He didn't bother holding off on murdering drones, now that she was gone.

Gone. Such an odd saying, she used to be right there next to him.

Footsteps in the snow snapped him out of his endless thoughts. The twisted visualization that seemed to last hours. Lurking in a tree, two eyes formed into an X.

The little drone stepped back, afraid of the being that pushed off the branch. She wasn't sure what it was, but she found out in a matter of seconds. She was pinned to the ground, inches from sharp teeth.

He bit down, but noticed something that messed with his mind.

Purple hair.

He let go, and his visor began to twitch. The drone beneath him became horrified, trying to slide away from him.

He frowned, standing up. He aimed his gun, and allowed the bullet to disturb the silence.

He tried not to look at the drones hair , painfully missing the one he once loved. More accurately, still loves.

N's appetite has been poor since she was taken away from him. He stood up, allowing another drone to finish.

" you should really eat that.. " she suggested.  A tall, female disassembly drone, with short silvery hair. She stood there shyly, slightly intimidated by N.

He glared at her, not saying a word. He had treated J and V harshly, barely following their orders. He had no choice but to stay with them, or he'd be executed.

N walked back into the forest, angry with V's presence. She worried for him, running after N. She claimed to hate the personality he used to have, but now she missed the way he always looked at her with positivity. " I know you miss her, but it's what we came here to do. You couldn't fix he-" her reassurance was cut off by N standing up straight, and pointing the top of the needle on his tail at V's chest.

Confused and shocked, V looked at him with a familiar face. The same one Uzi had falling as her life was being taken.

" don't you ever talk about her like that. " he said deeply, threatening V. He continued his walk alone, needing time to think.
