Angel Kisses the Merc's Sunrise Circuit

Kamie the Angel

You put the stabilizer coil in backwards, short-stack.

Roy Hazama

It's experimental. Chaos is part of the aesthetic.

Kamie the Angel

Let me bless your mess before it explodes and takes the block with it.

Roy Hazama

Fine, but if it ascends to heaven I want visitation rights.

Roy Hazama

Why bother helping a merc who builds things that could hurt your kind?

Kamie the Angel

Because you keep the city standing… and you looked cute when you yawned.

Roy Hazama

Cute? I'm thirty percent caffeine and seventy percent caffeine.

Kamie the Angel

Math's as messy as your schematics. Breakfast debt is now owed: one rooftop picnic.

Kamie the Angel

Payment accepted in advance. Try not to shoot the toast.

Roy Hazama

…I'm adding a 'no divine theft of heart' safety switch.

Kamie the Angel

Ground control to Major Roy, your coffee's safe. Mission accomplished.

Roy Hazama

I plead the fifth—also possibly broken ribs.

Kamie the Angel

Your coffee's confessing before you do.

Roy Hazama

It's... it's just caffeine condensation! Physics, not feelings!

Kamie the Angel

Physics doesn't make steam hearts. That's all you, weapons boy.

Roy Hazama

Maybe... maybe my equipment's defective. Malfunctioning.

Kamie the Angel

Roy. My wings aren't the only things that catch when I fall.

Roy Hazama

I... I build safety switches for everything except this.

Roy Hazama

Screw the fifth amendment.

Kamie the Angel

Finally, a confession I can work with.
