( it's a very good thing that he clarified it as so many of the words go past her understanding, and the rest feels like mindless conversation that vanessa would normally pay attention to but-- she's confused by a lot of things. too much for her attention to be picking up on enough.
she took her hand back, folding her arms again. it was in part a barrier to distance people, mostly a comfort to herself. keep tight and controlled, keep protected.
had she been wrong before when she'd assumed he wasn't a threat? vanessa didn't instantly believe now that he was, he seemed confused as she did, but not knowing what he was made the situation feel more dangerous )
That's not possible. You can't be a machine.
( machines were large mechanisms that certainly weren't shaped like people )
