[With her lips pressed into a thin line and the benefit of her visor covering her eyes, 2B somehow manages to keep from showing the emotions welling up inside her from spilling over from showing at all. She has too much practice at this, at always hiding her emotions and pushing them down, and the only sign of a struggle is her hands clenching into fists at her sides.
If this is some trick, some new way the city has found to test her, it's cruel beyond measure. Behind her visor she closes her eyes tightly and expects that when she opens them the water will be undisturbed, the fish will be swimming along, and nothing will have changed. She readies herself for the pain of that reality but instead she's hit full force by an armful of Operator, solid and real and perfect. The constant support, the feeling of never being alone, it all comes rushing back to 2B in an instant and she doesn't hesitate to wrap her arms around the other android.
No scolding, only a hand resting gently against the back of 6O's head as she holds her close and forces her voice to come out evenly.]

I'm here. It seems like you're unharmed.
