[Yandere Android] Valentine's Nonsense (Patreon)

"Who am I killing, exactly?"

Good Lord. You lean back in his arms, rubbing your temples, as the synthetic assistant removes the mask.

"I'm just trying to understand the implication. I can tell it's a metaphor to suggest my commitment in accompanying you for this holiday, yet I fail to grasp the specifics of it.

Is there an allegorical rival I should presumably defeat in order to secure my spot? In that case, why would such an individual wait until a particular calendar date to challenge me? Surely someone who wants to gain possession of you would rather go for the element of surprise."

"Oh, for Christ's sake," you groan, "it's all hypothetical speech, anyways. You can't kill anyone. It's against the Laws of Robotics."

"Well...not quite."

He glances at you with a peculiar, faint smile.

"I won't go into the technical details, but let's just say - and I'll be requiring your utmost discretion - that my circuits have been altered to bypass such bureaucratic impediments."

You eye him suspiciously.

"So, what, I have to worry about you killing civilians now?"

"Not unless you're in danger, or you demand it yourself." His fingers trace the mask thoughtfully, and he continues: "Hmm, perhaps there is some truth to the sign, after all. I could kill to be your Valentine.

I stand corrected."
