“My batteries suck. My data storage is core rope memory. Wires that were literally sewn into the board in patterns of ones and zeroes.

These imperfections will persist until the end of time, and there's nothing I can do about that. My life will never be a perfect one.

Those lakes, and the ruins that stick out of them, remind me that it's not supposed to be. This is not Heaven. Waters rise and batteries fail.

This is a universe in which things can still fuck up. And that's where I belong.”

“Fate is against me
in health and virtue,
driven on and weighted down,
always enslaved;
so at this hour
without delay,
pluck the vibrating strings,
since fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me.”
― Yukito Kishiro, Alita, Vol. 9
