Story transcript
Satou: It's broken… but it still pulses. Like a tiny trapped heartbeat.
Roy Hazama: Careful, kid. That's a drained empathy-core. Messes with your head if you stare too long.
Satou: I could keep it… feed it something sweeter than electricity.
Roy Hazama: Love's not a power source. That thing'll fry whatever you plug into it—including you.
Satou: Only if you're afraid of the current.
Roy Hazama: Tell you what—trade you this universal battery for a smile. Real one. Not the sugar-coated knife you show grown-ups.
Satou: …You're serious.
Satou: Keep it. When your machines start dreaming of me, you'll understand love can be wired.
Roy Hazama: Great. Nightmares with pigtails. Thanks, kid.
