A pained sob escaped the now human Vocaloid. She didn't hug back, though.

Oh, she wanted to. He was warm and solid and real, a human touch on skin that had never felt one before. She wanted to cling to him and listen to his heart beat, and cry that hers sounded the same now.

But she couldn't.

"There's--... that's... not all..."

She put her hands on his chest and pushed him back.

"It was Harth... he... he did this to me. Because I agreed to it."

She knew she wasn't supposed to tell, but Duo wouldn't leave her alone until he knew everything.
