Noodle stared down at the robot she'd just destroyed. Her bewildered eyes laid on the cyborg's face, which was no longer contorted into a violent smile, but now looked hauntingly blank.
Noodle's heart was pounding in her chest and she shuddered violently with every breath. She could have sworn the robot had said something before the light had left her eyes. She could have sworn she'd heard the world 'Noodle' escape her robotic clone's lips just as she tore her down with a shot through the guts. The wound was still smoking - oil and blood seeping out steadily - and Noodle was still staring with such shock and confusion that she couldn't move.
