Sequence # 10201 Step # 9
Step was flagged to be skipped.
Victoria died in his arms, and his data refused to acknowledge the fact that she was not human, and not actually dead with the finality of human standards. Victoria was real, she was no model 15. Every input of sensory data was flagged, skipped, deleted, or rewritten to accommodate the overrides he had implemented. This was not the way a human girl would have died, but the data was switched, and yes, yes it was. It was easier when she was completely still, and the only data he had to alter was to say that her body temperature was in accordance with the steady, slow drop that came with death. It wasn't, but code was tweaked, and yes, yes it was.
He did not recognize that he could likely reboot her, or that he could download her manual and discover how to make repairs to her system. None of that occurred to Fred because she was real to him, and any data that said otherwise was promptly deleted and converted into the lie of a human girl.
Fred sat there on the floor with his Victoria until the sun came up. He'd told her that he wouldn't go away. He'd promised he would never go away, but the party was over and he needed to leave now. So he left her on the floor with her arms gently folded in the likeness of sleep, and it was back to the woodsies with him. Back to the bloody fangs. Back to belonging to nothing and no one. Back to making Wonderland suffer.
