The rain patters against the solar panels covering the roof, two stories up. Feeling nostalgic for a moment, I look up. I don’t look down. Putting solar panels on a skyscraper, what a farce. Too little, too late. A raindrop seeps past the waterproofing on my cyber-eye, and I lean a shoulder against the wall to steady myself, lest I fall off the outcropping my toes are currently tensed around. I’m still a little unsteady, unused to the weight gain after my last bender. Some nights, all I can do is eat. And cry. The explosion plays always in my mind. When I lost my arms and eyes. When I lost Mohammad and Amara. I’ve managed to scrounge up enough to replace an eye, and with this, I’ll have an arm, albeit a basic model.

I look through the window. There she is, the next link in the chain. I wiggle my pinky toes to see that the blades still work. Then I click my teeth and tell the computer to open the window. I leap. Soon, I will be one step closer to the answer.

Came out super cyberpunky and grimdark, and I didn’t manage to fit all the things into just those paragraphs, but I still say it kind of works.
