Cyn woke up.  It was their last night before moving day, so she was having trouble sleeping.  Uzi told her that the house was going to be huge to accommodate them and the former DDs.  She thought about them.  They all knew her.  They were all abused, chained up, they all had a sense of family.

She heard a noise coming from down the hall and got up to check.  It was coming from the bathroom, which was weird considering that drones don't have bodily functions.  She peaked in and saw Tessa sitting on the toilet, staring at a picture in her hands.

"Tessa?" Cyn decided to make her presence known.

"Oh, Cyn!" Surprised, Tessa fumbled the photo and it landed at Cyn's feet.  She picked it up; it was the portrait of her and Tessa back at the Manor.  When Tessa was still human.

"Are you okay?" Cyn questioned.  Tessa went through an equal amount of pain, her body being used as a disguise, her genetic information and memories being digitized, having to adapt to an entirely new body.  The only thing left of her human life was her memories, her voice, and her hair.  Tessa had always been loving towards Cyn, at least until the solver started wreaking havoc.  They even had matching hairstyles.  Cyn looked at Tessa, at her black hair and bangs.  At least they could give her her hair back.

"Tessa, I'm... I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what, Cyn?" Tessa inquired.

"For putting you and the others through all of that," Cyn looked down, hugging herself, "I should have just stayed at the bottom of that pile where I belonged."

"Don't say that!"  Tessa grabbed Cyn's shoulders to make her face her, startling Cyn.

"It's true!  If I had just stayed dead and not accepted the Solver, none of this would've happened."  Cyn was starting to tear up, but Tessa put a stop to it.

"Yes, if it weren't for you, me and N and the others would still be abused and chained by my parents.  If it weren't for you, N and Uzi would never have met.  Same for V and Lizzy and Doll.  If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here.  I wouldn't have had a second chance, a chance where I could grow up alongside my adopted siblings, not separated by flesh, metal, blood or oil.  Cyn, becoming this," She gestured to her worker body, "Is the greatest gift I have ever been given.  Even in the worst of times, even during the massacre, even before you were used to end my first life, I knew there was still a shred of YOU in there somewhere."

With that, she pulled Cyn into a tight hug.  "I'm glad I was right."

Hearing this, Cyn started tearing up again, this time tears of joy.  What Tessa had just said helped melt something built up inside of her, at least a little bit.
