    Summary

    ART said, more cautiously than I was used to from it, This is more akin to physical touch than what you usually find tolerable.

    I knew that, but I didn’t like thinking about it. It was fine.

    ART took me at my word for it, and having it squish me became part of the things we did when I was anxious or plagued by stress toxins in my system. Sometimes I asked it to do it even when I was feeling okay. It was a nice feeling. At the time I thought of it as comfortable and relaxing. Without someone physically present touching me, it registered more like the pressure of being underwater, and that just didn’t repulse me like touching skin did.

    It’s true that it was relaxing, but the reason I liked it so much was secretly that it felt good. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself at the time, but I kept asking ART to squeeze me, and eventually things escalated.

    Summary

    “SecUnit, what’s your favorite smell?” Double ugh. How the fuck was I supposed to answer this without being rude?

    “I like it when there isn’t a smell.” There, that was a positive spin on my negativity, I guess. Maybe I should have lied, though. Everyone in the shuttle was frowning to some degree. Way to bring down the mood, Murderbot.

    “You don’t like any smells?” Iris asked.

    Summary

    It flinches as if you had shot it and its walls slam shut in front of you, thick enough that you know it isn't putting up a show of things. It really does want you out.
