"To be human is to love"

Y/N's POV:

"Cameron, I'll be going to sleep now." I say.  "Okay Y/N, goodnight!" He smiles.

I nod and head up to my room, closing the door and laying down in my bed.

I guess I'll have to infiltrate the CyberLife Tower alone...

I know Markus and the others are deviant, except, I still have to be careful. I know they aren't lying to me about deviancy, but I still need to put my walls up.

I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep...

~Morning~

I open my eyes and stretch. I get up and look around for a second. I should see Markus today and tell him....I just hope Connor doesn't tell CyberLife about any of this, especially the location.

Then again, he'll be destroyed if he tries to contact CyberLife, right?

Speaking of which, I wonder where Connor went last night? He might've just stayed at Hank's place...

I open my door and go downstairs to see Cameron making breakfast. "Good morning." I yawn. "Good morning Y/N." Cameron smiles.

"Where did Connor go last night? And....are you okay?" Cameron asks. "I'm fine, I just don't really like Connor anymore....he probably went to see Hank." I sit down.

Cameron hands me a plate of food. "Oh, well I hope you feel better soon! I can sense you aren't doing very well, but I won't push you to talk about it if you don't want too." Cameron walks back to the kitchen.

"Thanks..." I say. I start eating the food and get lost in thought about everything.

So everything Connor said, everything he's done....it was all an act? I was played....even Connor said that my emotions can be played with easily and to be careful about my emotions....yet he was the one to toy with me...

I should've been careful of him, I trusted him too easily.

"Cameron, I'm going to the office today and I think it's best you stay here, I'm only going to pick up some files, I'll be back later." I get up and grab my coat.

"Okay Y/N! Be careful." He waves to me as I leave.

I open the church doors and go inside, it's almost time to start the protest, I'm sure Markus will go peacefully. Showing violence will only make the humans more violent and scared, showing if androids care will show humans that they mean no harm and there's nothing to be afraid of.

I meet up with Markus and grab his shoulder.  "I need to talk to you about Connor." I say.  "Alright." He nods and we go over a wall with no other androids.

"He's not deviant....he was playing with me, and you, he was still on his stupid mission! He knows the location of this place and I'm afraid he'll tell CyberLife about it!" I say. "Do you know where he is currently?" Markus asks. "No....I pushed him out last night and I have no clue where he went." I say.

"Damn it....okay, Y/N you might need to go into the CyberLife Tower alone." Markus says. "And do what? I can't turn androids deviant! I don't have that power like you!" I say.  "Right....I can't go either, there has to be someone." Markus looks down.

Maybe I can use Connor....he may not be deviant....but he is wanted at the CyberLife Tower to be shut down, if I hand him in, I can force him to turn the androids...

"Markus, I have a plan but I'll need to think about it! It's risky, especially with Connor not actually being deviant, but I know he'll listen to me." I say. "Probably..." I whisper.

"You're still going in with Connor? What if he hurts you?" Markus asks. "Then I'll hurt him back, I'm not afraid to hurt Connor, I can protect myself Markus." I say.

"....okay....I trust you with everything! Please, don't hurt yourself." Markus looks at me sincerely. "Don't worry....I should go and see where Connor went, before anything bad happens." I say.

"Go ahead." Markus says. I nod and leave the church.

Imagine what would happen to me if I was found out....about supporting these deviants... I'd probably be killed on the spot, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

I hesitate for a second, if Connor is here...

I stop, maybe I shouldn't....I should wait, waiting might be better.

I turn around and begin to go back to the apartment. Yea, I'll wait until the day of the protest, that might be better.

It starts to get colder, I pull my zipper up more and sort of cuddle up as I continue walking. I should've brought money and ordered a taxi...

I turn the corner and keep walking. It's not really late out, but seeing as I had to walk everywhere....I spent almost all of my day just walking. The sun is literally almost down by now!

Why is everything so far apart? And why don't I bring money?

Oh right, because I don't think about anything! God....I need to start using my brain.

My foot trips over something causing me to fall. As soon as I tripped I headed a loud yet small cry.

"What the fu-" I look behind me. "Oh...." I sit up and look at what I tripped over.

It's a kitten...

It's shivering and clearly hasn't eaten in days, you can almost see it's bones. It's fur is very messy and very muddy.

It's constantly meowing over and over, I definitely won't just leave it here on the street.

I pick up the kitten and try my best to warm it up as I start walking to my apartment faster.

There's no vet clinics around me....I'll need a car to get to the nearest one, I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I reach my apartment, I'm only suppose to have one pet, but I'm sneaking this guy in.

~~~~

I reach my room and close the door. I quickly take the kitten out and rush to the kitchen, not bothering to take my coat or shoes off.

"You got back really la-" Cameron stops as he sees the kitten.

"Can you find something small to put milk in so I can feed it?" I ask. "There might be something upstairs in the bathroom." I add. "Alright." Cameron rushes upstairs.

The milk I have won't be super nutritious for the kitten, but it's enough to feed it...

Cameron comes back down with a small bottle.  "Put milk in it please." I say. Cameron pours milk in the bottle and hands it to me.

I begin to feed the kitten, luckily, it's eating.

"Where did you find it?" Cameron asks. "On my way home, it was on the street." I say.  Speaking of which...

It's a girl.

"I guess she was left behind or thrown out, poor girl." I say. Boomer bounces over to us, very curious about what I was holding.

Boomer jumps up my leg, trying to get up. His legs are too short to even reach any handles.

"Cameron, continue feeding her for moment." I hand the kitten and bottle to Cameron.

I take off my coat and shoes and put them away. I really didn't expect to find a kitten on the way here...

Under all that mud and dirt, she looks like a tuxedo cat, the black and white ones. Her eyes are a dark green as well.

I guess I'll really need a house now, I can't keep two pets in here.

(Can you guys suggest names for the kitten? If you want an example on how she looks when she's clean:

So yea! Please suggest some names for her! (Also the people in discord know, but my tuxedo kittens name is Athena, and I wasn't gonna use that name... unless you guys want me too???)

You might be thinking: "wow, how original. I've NEVER seen this type of cat in EVERY book EVER" HEY. LISTEN HERE. I ONLY KNOW THREE TYPES OF CAT BREED, TUXEDO, RUSSIAN BLUE, AND MAINE COON.
ALL THE OTHERS ARE BLACK CAT, ORANGE CAT, WHITE CAT, BROWN CAT, GREY CAT, CAT WITH STRIPES. lEaVE mE alOnE)
