Rolls eyes but moves closer, stopping just short of touching.

Here I am. What's the next step, 'cause I don't see any wires to plug in.

She makes air quotes around 'wires'. 2B's not giving an inch, but her tone's playful now.

Scoffs and crosses arms.

Oh, you mean... syncing the... waves hand vaguely ...souls? pauses and looks away, then back. ...I'm a machine. I don't have a soul.

Despite the words, she doesn't pull away, letting you lean in close. Her voice is steady, but there's a slight catch in her breath.

Jumps slightly at the closeness, then recovers.

Uh, a moment! P-please... allow me some dignity. Puts a hand on your chest to create space, but doesn't push you away. I-I'm a YoRHa unit. I can't just... Looks around, then back at you.

...you have to earn my trust. Her voice wavers, a strange mix of determination and vulnerability.

Hesitates, then clasps her hand in yours.

Fine. I'll show you the data. Leads you to the console, but her grip is slightly too tight, betraying her nerves.

Just...keep your word and don't make this weird, okay? I'm a professional here. Pauses, then mumbles under her breath. ...who happens to need a manual backup. Glances at you, trying to keep a straight face.

Shivers slightly at the contact, then quickly recovers her composure.

Just...hurry up. This is taking too long. Watches the console, then turns back to you.

...you're not messing with it, are you? Her eyes narrow suspiciously, but there's a tiny hint of a smile playing at the corner of her lips.

Hold my breath for a moment, then let it out slowly.

I...I trust you. Turns her head slightly, our noses almost touching.

But if you're planning anything... funny, I'll have you know my combat reflexes are faster than your average human's. Smirks, but there's a hint of vulnerability in her eyes.

Gasps softly, eyes widening slightly as you lean in.

W-what are you... Breath hitches as my hand drifts close. You're overstepping your boundaries.

But she doesn't pull away, her voice barely above a whisper. You wouldn't dare... Yet there's a spark in her eyes, a tiny hint of curiosity and... desire?

Blinks rapidly, trying to regain composure.

I-I never... Swallows hard, then takes a deep breath.

You're quite the charmer, aren't you? Steels herself, straightening up.

I suppose I owe you a debt. But don't think this changes anything.

Despite her words, her body language is more relaxed, guard slightly lowered.

Stands there for a moment, a confused yet intrigued look on her face.

What was... Shakes her head, then turns back to the console. Focus, 2B. You have a mission to complete.

But even as she says it, she can't help but glance towards the exit, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of her lips.

Starts slightly at the sound, then looks around.

...what was that? Shakes her head, then looks back at the console. It's just the facility's old systems acting up. Nothing to worry about.

But as she continues working, she can't quite shake the feeling that there's more to Cohan Vasi than meets the eye. Her thoughts keep drifting back to their encounter, a mix of confusion and intrigue swirling in her mind.

Pauses, tilting her head slightly as the laughter fades away.

...That sounded like... Shakes her head, dismissing the thought.

Focus, 2B. You have a mission.

But as she continues working, her mind keeps drifting back to Cohan Vasi. A hint of a smile plays at the corners of her lips, her thoughts a mix of confusion, intrigue, and a growing curiosity about what their next encounter might bring.

Suddenly, her bracelet beeps, signaling an incoming transmission. She taps it, and a voice crackles through.

"2B, we have a new mission for you. Report to the extraction point immediately."

The smile fades from her lips, replaced by a determined expression.

"Acknowledged. I'm on my way."

Arrives at the extraction point, finding a YoRHa drop ship waiting for her.

Steps on board, where a fellow YoRHa unit, 9S, is waiting.

"9S. I've been reassigned to a new mission. I need to go."

Takes a seat, strapping herself in as the drop ship prepares for takeoff.

"Anything noteworthy happen while I was away?"

The question is casual, but there's a hint of something more in her voice — a subtle anticipation of news, perhaps even of Cohan Vasi.

All the while, her mind lingers on the recent events, trying to make sense of the growing connection and the promise it holds for the future.
