Aigis rank 10 does live in my head forever. Giving Hamuko a screw, a part of her, then asking to etch Hamuko’s fingerprint into the physical part that holds her technological psyche at the back of her neck, technology so fragile it’s forever altered with a press of a finger, irrevocably storing a part of Hamuko in herself, cutting all power to her extremities so she doesn’t spasm as it burns. And they’re both girls. Crazy.
