For what seems like an eternity, you stay there, unmoving, frozen to the world. Does she…. But then, you notice that tiny move from her upper lip.
“Ahahah, great joke there, honey…”
Your wife keeps a serious face for about five more seconds, the five longest seconds of your life. Then she cracks up and points at you.
“Oh my god, Dave! You should have seen your face!”, she’s laughing so hard that tears are starting to stream down her face, also snot. Whomever said people looks their best when laughing, have obviously never seen someone truly amused.
“You got so white I though you were going to fahahahahah, to FAINT!” You can hardly believe it, but yes, this is your wife, litteraly kneeling on the floor, laughing like this is the best joke anyone has ever made. And okay, maybe, maaaaaaybe it’s a little bit funny.
Maybe you’re also starting to crack up, because you love nothing more about this woman, than her ability to find the fun in every little thing. So maybe, just maybe you’ll be joining her in a second, right there on the floor, the both of you mocking you on how reading so much science-fiction has definitely affected your brain.
You end up having a fantastic afternoon, hurting from laughing so much, and then a delicious evening, cooking together and feeding each other bites of whatever you’re making, inbetween kisses.
Nonetheless, when you go shower right before bed, you make absolutely sure the door is locked.
You raise your left arm and wave your right thumb under it. A small trap opens. You take the wire coming from it and plug it to your phone.
On a private, dedicated forum, you explain what happened that day, and how you felt, your reactions. You upload the data of everything you experienced.
Within minutes, you get dozens of responses, from other androids, from all over the world. Most are thankful for the experience, happy that you were able to share. Happy to learn more and more about the human behaviour.
None of you know exactly when the last of the humans will die, but you will do everything within your power to save everything that was good about them. This part of them will never be forgotten.
