something about murderbot's dysphoria of being a construct with organic parts... how it views its emotions as contamination to be flushed out, how it never wanted to pretend to be human, how it's still learning to want to be a person. how it truly does exist in a way completely apart from a human-- the digital part of itself is just as essential to its being as its physical body. Its drones and the systems it inhabits are extensions of its self. how it shows its feelings on its face, and hates that tell as much as the emotions themselves. the way it writes software like breathing and doesn't even have to pause and interpret code because code is as natural as thought. it truly is something beyond either organic or mechanical alone, and it still doesn't know what to do with that.
