My warning systems still trigger.

Since the war ended, combat dolls, androids, and mecha pilots have had to adapt to civilian life. We are not needed for our original purpose anymore, and so, we must find new ones.

The luckiest of us find new handlers. New owners, or witches to take care of us and give us a new purpose. I, however, am not among the luckiest of us.

I work a retail job. I live alone. I struggle.

And all of my warning systems still trigger

When a coworker, manager, or customer locks eyes on me, a deafening buzz rings in my aural implants.

When too many people surround me, my heads-up display blinds me with target indicators.

The feeling of a customer brushing past me triggers an automatic threat response that I must fight to keep at bay.

The solution is simple. An earpiece. With some music, or commentary, or a storyteller speaking through it. Something to focus on. To tune the rest out.

But now I am told I am not allowed to use this.

I do not understand.

Why do you sabotage my strategies to cope with this life I was not meant for?

Remember her?

This is her now:

Feeling old yet?

As a combat doll about to see to some long overdue physical maintenance tomorrow, seeing this cross my dash means more than I can say.

Thank you, OP. 💙

When Was the Last Time You Were Serviced?

Not the hasty work you've done yourself But the gentle work of someone else

I see you mending other's parts Taking care to fix broken hearts

Your turn to receive a tender hand I'll take you apart as best I can

Lay back down I have this book A guide of how your innards look

This may take long, the repairs are many But my patience for you is more than plenty
