It actually kills me how easy it is to become someone murderbot cares about
Like it gets its first job that it chose and like within hours is invested enough to let someone lay down with it, its upset that it relaxed when there was still someone who needed protection despite the job basically being over anyway
It just watched the preservation team for most of their survey and decided it like them based on things like Mensah driving safely before it was ever ready to accept direct kindness
Its capacity for love is massive when shown even the slightest basic compassion and sometimes even when it can just sympathize with your position despite you hurting it
and it still walks around like “I stepped through the door and I bet everyone flinched because I’m a Terrifying murderbot, which is my name btw, the one I chose for myself”
