Negotiations

[Sage]

I got Aidan. Love him. He loves me. We work. But no one really understands.

And while I adore Nox. We use each other. He's got my back and I got his. And we are family.

But it's still part of the same game.

I get bored easily in the real world. Using my eyes. And my mouth. Being present is hard.

And truly I'm no better than what people think of me. I am a drugged out kid sitting in the corner alone. Except my drug of choice isn't something anyone else can understand.

Back when my chip got corroded and I was told using it would make me worse. Nox took away the wireless connection. I nearly died. It's an addiction I can't say no to because it's part of my brain.
