I will fall with roses

J couldn't do this. She couldn't live while she remembered those terrible events. The blood, the explosions... Tessa. She couldn't protect Tessa, even though it was her direct responsibility to serve her. She couldn't do anything. Was she really that useless. Stupid. Completely unnecessary. Her bloody body lay on the floor. She wasn't breathing. Tessa wouldn't talk to her again. Ever. There was chaos all around - broken dishes, overturned furniture, mountains of corpses and blood. It seemed as if J would never forget these screams. The dying, desperate cries of those who would never rise from the earth. J's hands were shaking. She stood there, unable to take a step. The silence around her was dead, matching the bloody picture before her eyes. She seemed to be having a fit. What could possibly go wrong? Everything seemed to be as usual. Cruel parents, Tessa's bright smile, and three drones walking somewhere off to the side, two of which were frozen now, showing no signs of life. But they were definitely alive. Everything was swimming before eyes, and an error message appeared on the screen. It seemed very similar to the aftermath of an emotional breakdown. Wait... Waking up went pretty smoothly. Hahaha, what a dream of course. Just disgusting and bad. Now she will wake up and find herself next to Tessa and... Others, the rest she would call just some losers. But... Something was wrong. Opening her eyes, J looked around in confusion - there was no smell of the familiar mansion around her. What kind of place was this? Her thoughts were distracted by movements nearby. N and V were standing nearby. But they were... Not the same as before, it seemed. A moment later, a deafening sound cut through the air. Two drones took off and flew. Wait... Flew? J noticed that they had acquired rather large, beautiful wings from somewhere. Kill them all Sounded in her head. Ugh, how could she think such a thing? But... Were these really her thoughts? J stood still, suddenly looking back. There stood, swaying, a very familiar silhouette. Native.... Stop. Could it be... Jay rushed towards the silhouette. If it was Tessa, if this wasn't a dream or at least half the truth, then Jay would be happier than ever. Slowing down with difficulty, the dismantler looked into the owner's eyes with warm hope, when suddenly she was stunned. Those weren't her eyes. Instead of eyes, there were two black holes shining and something like pupils in them. The whole appearance was shabby. It didn't look like Tessa... But okay, no big deal! J would accept her anyway. -Tessa! I'm sorry I couldn't do anything! I'm so sorry, so very much! How are you? But all further dialogue was interrupted by just three words that began to corrode throughout the entire core. -Tessa isn't here. - It's... Why is the voice so mechanical? Why does it sound so much like... -Cyn? No... No-no-no-no! It's not true! This can never be like this, under no circumstances, this is all just some kind of nonsense. It's impossible to believe in this, it's just an illusion, damn it, can anything explain this?! -It's true. - Was she responding to J's thoughts? Or to an answer? Submit, flashed through J's mind. It was Cyn's voice. She was now firmly convinced of it. - Do you think I'm such an idiot as to trust you? - J asked angrily and sharply. The body of her mistress was being abused, very badly, and they didn't even deign to bury it. - Why the hell did you put her... Body on yourself?! - No, I think you're smart enough, - Cyn inclined her head innocently, like Tessa once did, - to understand your situation. Tessa is dead, and your friends are killing off the rest of humanity. You have no way out, and no way in. You're here forever. So submit. J crossed her arms over her chest. Listening to a robot maniac who killed your friend - what a joke! It's just not funny somehow. - No. And those two were never my friends. - The dismantler was absolutely firm in her decision when Cyn's eye twitched for the first time. But really, what is keeping J here? N's memories were erased, V is only here for N. But J won't be superfluous. No, seriously, she really could be useful for many plans. But she still can't leave. There's nothing to be afraid of. -And about Tessa's body... Don't worry, I'll take care of it. She and I will be together forever! The last words were drawn out with a kind of mockery, although J didn't envy the fact. She was disgusted by the way Tessa's body was being used. She was disgusted by the one who was using Tessa's body. J just turned around. Yes, she knew that playing games with a monster like Cyn was not the best idea, but critical thinking was replaced by emotions she had never seen before: despair, horror, and a feeling of Absolute hopelessness. She would just leave. Maybe she would die, maybe she would regret it very much. Who cares! She didn't care enough to think about it now! And she didn't want to think about the future. J took a few steps and froze in place. She staggered, clutching her head - hundreds, maybe thousands of voices were whispering and screaming inside her. Where from? What is this? The wrong questions, a little more and she will go crazy! Suddenly, through the groans of pain and fragments of useless muttering, a small but powerful realization managed to break through. Cyn. She looked straight at her, with a fixed gaze. A smile shone on her face, wide and unnatural. Yes, all of Xing was unnatural. Not only did she not resemble a human being in her behavior, but she didn't even resemble a drone. Well, that was disgusting acting, nothing to say. But the voices grew louder and each of them began to utter one single word. Submit Submit-submit-submit! - Children's, adults', old people's, robotic, human, still living or dying, voices screamed on their last breath. They screamed sometimes in disarray, sometimes in unison, sometimes drawn-out, sometimes lightning fast. J fell to her knees in a delirium, eyes closed, head shaking. She couldn't even hear her own thoughts. A desperate cry escaped her throat as J tore off the ground, spread her wings and flew upward. A golden cross appeared on the screen.
