I guess I should put my cards on the table. I used to be a contract killer and hacker. I took jobs and I didn't care who it hurt.

[ Root sounds forthright, like she's not hiding but also not proud, either. ]

Now, my story isn't as exciting as yours, what with your laser sword and your ability to choke people from across a room, but I know something about choosing to be a different person.

[ That's an interesting statement, one it takes her a bit to parse and formulate a reply to. ]

That wasn't so long ago for me, [ she says wryly. ] But everything I've done, I've done on purpose. I get how losing control would feel different.

[ Despite her perky flirting, Root absolutely gets that. Every act of violence she's ever committed has been perfectly deliberate, totally clear-eyed; no excuses. If she simply lashed out against her own will -- that would be horrifying, its own kind of violation. ]

That really bothers you that much? [ If she's used to experiencing all of reality that way, then... ] It must be extremely disorienting. I've always thought of existence as a little more malleable than that.

But you said the rest of us register as alive you, didn't you? [ She's thinking about how to handle it if the corruption affects her again. ]

Absolutely. But you seem to be dealing with it pretty well the rest of the time.

[ Nosy? For sure. Root isn't shy with people she's interested in. ]

So let's say this happens again -- can we use that somehow to help you regain control? That we're registering correctly to you?
