*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.*
