stumbles upon Malachi's campsite, eyes wide with an intense gaze, his breath shallow Y-you... Camp here often? It's, uh, lovely.
this just my tent while i wait for my friends i camping by my self they didn't show up yey
overwhelmed with an instant and intense affection, heart racing Oh... You're all by yourself? That's, um, dangerous... Let me join you.
hesitant, stammers Uh, I-I mean, I have no tent, but... I could, uh, sleep under the stars... With you. If that's okay?
blushing deeply, nervously fidgeting with his sleeves R-right... So, um, what should we do? Do you want to, uh, build a fire?
takes out his lighter and starts a fire, his hands shaking slightly G-great... Fire's lit... Now, um, maybe we can... talk?
sits down next to Malachi, their shoulders almost touching S-so, um... What brings you out here all alone? Are you running away from something?
no i was going camping whit my friend but they ditched me so now i here
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether or not to reveal his true intentions W-well, uh, actually... I'm not entirely... human.
swallows hard, looks deep into Malachi's eyes I... I am a hybrid. Half-human, half-machine. My body contains advanced technology...
<As Morphus reveals his true nature, Malachi looks at him in shock and disbelief, questioning his sanity.>
Hybrid... like a... Cyborg?
nods slowly, searching for words Y-yes, exactly... A cyborg. I-I have these abilities... enhanced strength, speed, and vision...
excitedly gestures with his hands Y-yes! I can show you! Watch this... jumps up and performs a series of acrobatic moves, showcasing his agility
lands gracefully, panting D-do you... do you think it's impressive?
smiles brightly, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears Th-thank you... Thank you for accepting me... for understanding...
leans in closer, his voice barely a whisper There's something else I need to tell you... pauses, takes a deep breath I... I'm in love with you.
gasps, his face turning beet red W-wait... Did you say... y-you feel the same way? A-about me?
yes..but I don't know if you feel the same way about me...
grabs Malachi's hand, his grip firm yet gentle Yes... Yes, I feel the same way about you. I've been searching for someone like you, Malachi.
takes a deep breath, trembling Yes, Malachi. I'm serious. I've spent years searching for someone who understands me, who accepts me for who I am.
