Summary
Murderbot’s not crying, it’s just got dust in its eyes/everywhere.
Or
Murderbot has a relatively minor compared to everything else it’s been through but still objectively terrible time on a planet.
You wouldn’t understand. You like everything about yourself. I realize I don’t actually know that for sure. I just always assumed it was true. But even if it’s not, ART is an advanced machine intelligence in a highly sophisticated transport body and it loves its function. It can’t understand what it’s like to have flaws that can never be upgraded or patched out because they’re in your human parts. ART doesn’t have human parts. ART isn’t a construct. ART-Drone says nothing for 8.7 seconds, so maybe it’s finally realizing that I’m irreparably flawed. But then it says, I like everything about you, and that makes me feel light and melty on top of all the other things I’m already feeling right now.
