It's been a long, hard fight. 

Not just this once - not just against the maddened 5S, not just against those fucking Red Girls. Not just against her own most recent demons.

Not just the fight she took up from her replacement, the young girl with her face and even deader eyes. 

The fight she's been in since she was rolled out, a little over five years before. 

She's never known peace. 

But neither will these fucking assholes.

Gunner number 13 - G13 - the closest to a name she's ever had - destroys the Tower built by those fuckers, their ticket off the hellscape they made. Destroys the very structure she's standing on, though she hacks Pod 153 to restore its (hers?) ability for speech, orders it to get the hopefully cured 5S to safety. 

She tries to order away the fucking Pod that 13B set to following her around. 

"Negative," is all it says. "This Pod was ordered by Unit 13B to provide support to Unit G13."

"Fuck you," she says, exhaustedly, even if - somewhere deep in her - she doesn't mind not dying alone.

And then she turns her face to the sky, and sets off the explosives. 

'Everyone... I'm coming...'

She opens her eyes - when did she close them? - as she falls, the Pod beside her, and a wholly irrelevant last thought floats into her mind - 

'I never realized how beautiful this world is...'
