[Talk - Tiffani]

Tiffani squatted by Ping’s battered remains, poking at them with general disgust.

Tiffani

Jesus. Someone really had it out for her, huh?

Timaeus

What do you mean?

Tiffani

Uh, dude. Look at this pile of broken shit and tell me whoever did this didn’t have a hell of a grudge.

She gestured down at the floor with a sharp, humorless laugh.

Timaeus

…I guess it is a bit overkill, huh? I didn’t think any of us disliked her that much…

Tiffani

I mean, I thought she was an annoying lil' fucker. I can’t imagine I’m the only one. Oversized Fisher-Price toy Vocaloid-sounding bitch…

Timaeus

Wh– how can you say that–

Tiffani

What? It’s not like she’s actually dead.

She kicked idly at one of the disembodied metal limbs.

Timaeus

…Guess not… Hey, wait a second!

I stooped down to get a closer look at one of her arms– its hand was locked in a tight fist, but there was a piece of paper sticking out between its fingers.

Timaeus

Do you think we could pry her hand open? It looks like there’s writing on that paper!

Tiffani

I don’t know why you’re asking me? Just break her fingers or something if you think it’s that important. I’m not a fucking mechanic.

Timaeus

Jeez, I was just asking…

I tried to pull her fingers apart, but the metal wouldn’t budge. On closer inspection, though, it looked like most of the paper had already been torn away… The best I could do was wriggle out the last remaining scrap from between her dented knuckles.

Oh well. Even if I couldn’t make out any words, the fact that the paper was there in the first place had to mean something, right?
