poor gurathin has against his will realized that he vibes with murderbot perfectly, immediately saw it heroically die in the explosion, then saw it get stolen and destroyed by the corprim, did a monumentally dangerous thing without a backup to bring it back, brought it back, and was extremely visibly excited to have somebody on presaux to roll his eyes in unison with. like he loves them all, but murderbot also turned out to speak his language, and hoo boy did he miss that.
he was So Excited to show murderbot the ropes, omg. so soft and sleepy and happy and offering to share and re-experience the best ever thing that happened to him to somebody who would get just how weird and miraculous and amazing it was.
and then, oooof. oh man, the actors were SO GOOD. like two lines of dialogue to convey murderbot haltingly grapple with its own understanding of its wants and needs; and gurathin's accepts that and, essentially, blesses it to go. amazing.
(mensah is still murderbot's favorite human. but those two are going to be a menace to society when murderbot, grown into its own skin, will come back home.)
