[2B's words are surprising enough that 9S lifts his head to look at her, though all he manages is to stare for a long moment. Of all the things she might have said, he didn't anticipate something like this. Not from the soldier who did her duty no matter how much it pained her, time after time. And he knows it now, just how very true that is. Just how many times she had carried out orders dutifully regardless of herself.
