"Hm, at least you acknowledge you hold no use anymore."

"Of course you won't apologize for your wrongdoings. Your type never do." He hissed back. "You simply need to keep yourself away from Echo. She's a better person now than she ever could have become with you around."

ㅤ no , mina. i’m here to show you the consequences of your actions , make sure you damn well understand ‘em , and do what i do best. ㅤ

ㅤ twenty years. ㅤ

+ said. And before you say it, the little time you had with her and Overwatch's expectations were no excuses for being so cold to her."

ㅤ believe i wouldn’t care. after * ℯverything. you are denser th’n even i am. ㅤ

Bristling immediately at that, a low rumbling of a growl coming from them. "You were cruel when she failed instead of guiding her hand, being a /proper/ creator. You were /supposed/ to teach her to be better, not immediately see her as a failure."
