I wouldn't expect you to. The Machine and I have a special relationship, [ Root assures her, though it sounds more self-satisfied than like she's trying to comfort her. She wouldn't want someone to be able to replace her so easily, has always found it meaningful and affirming that the Machine recognizes her as someone unique. ]
... But it's nice to know neither of you will be alone without me. My two best girls, working together.
[With a heavy sigh, Shaw fully leans into Root, going boneless. It's a move more born out of exhaustion and resignation than true relaxation, but it's still comfy and cozy.]
I dont get what's going on at all. I'm so sick of trying to figure this crap out, Root.
I guess it's like trying to reach infinity, [ she whispers, feeling like her soul fits her body for the first time in ages. Shaw in her arms, the Machine's servers cooing peacefully around them, her own voice in her ear. ]
You know that it's there, you just don't know where -- but just because you can never reach it doesn't mean that it's not worth looking for.
[ One of her favorite quotes. They'll never reach it, certainty, no matter how hard they try. But they can keep looking. ]
