"No...but close...Heartbreak..." Y seemed to drift away as he began. "The tests were excruciating and I always left them drained and hurt. But one of the scientists...she would always come to me afterwards. She would comfort me, tell me that everything was alright. She would tell me stories about the outside, and fairy tales from far away lands."
Y clenched his hands together. "She would always start her visits with 'Y...what happened..what did those filthy organics do to you?' and I would tell her everything. I loved her...she was everything to me...she was my mother, sister, friend, and lover. Everyone thought of me as a machine to be worked on, but she understood."
Y's eyes were practically shimmering now, with the closest thing to tears his nanites could imitate. "Then one day, she asked me to come to another room...one that I hadn't been in before. I followed her and she told me she would be right in after me."
Y's voice seemed to change suddenly as the memory brought back the rage he kept hidden inside of himself. "But then the door closed behind me...it sealed itself shut. I looked around the room and saw HER behind a pane of glass in another room. I asked her what was going on. Then she began telling me how she really felt...creature, thing, monster, worthless, machine. Then she turned on the generators. She electrocuted me again and again. It only lasted an hour but it felt like eternity. I couldn't stand it anymore. I overloaded the generators and smashed through the glass. Then I returned the favor. I told her how I felt and tore her apart, atom by atom, keeping her alive until only her brain was left. Then they threw me in that box. For 3 years I screamed how much I hated her...hated humanity...HATED EVERYTHING!" Y screamed these last words and slammed his fist into the concrete wall, causing a massive crater to form.
