Summary
Five times Murderbot felt reluctant to accept acts of friendship in the face of a hostile world. One time it does.
“I’m not going to use you as a shield.”

Summary
Something rippled around her. It wasn't a sound. It was more of a texture, a movement, a local gravitational instability, a color. It felt like laughter. You didn't have to say it like that, [SecUnit] said, and it was pure relief to know it wasn't upset. It was joking. It's fine, though. The feed is different, it doesn't bother me in the same way. You can… it winced, but finished, 'touch me' as much as you want, in here.
In the immediate aftermath of her kidnapping, Ayda isn't ready to be alone. SecUnit isn't ready to let her out of its sight, either. When she makes the startling discovery that her new implant allows her to connect with it in a way she never knew was possible, they reach for one another on instinct. Sometimes, the comfort you need can take you places you never expected.
