Telzhud lay still as the fight continued, as the yelling continued, as life continued beyond it. Ophelia was gone, the android scanned and scanned again for her ki, any sense of her essence at all, but it was completely gone. The android watched the blood flow from the rest of her as the helicopter blade stood firm in the ground where it landed. Anger was an optional sequence for The Program to run but it chose sadness, utter depression.
The AI enjoyed the experience, emotions were so varied and so many, that any that could be experienced needed to be studied and as soon as possible. The android let out a couple of sad roars, its body in the fetal position beside his once lover’s. The wreckage of the helicopter rained around the android but did not disturb the scene at all in a poetic way, this was Telzhud’s moment of peace.
Beyond the wreck some of the former captives looked on from behind a half destroyed wall and shed tears. They all wept for their hero, his fallen love, the romance all played out in front of them like a novella and they felt for Telzhud deeply. They slowly emerged from their shelter, skittish like peeking mice, and hurried over to Telzhud’s side. They each took a limb, and then called for help because he was extremely heavy.
They tried again. More of the bystanders and rescue personnel that had shown up ran in to help lift the giant jaguar. They chatted amongst themselves about the jaguar, which they now named him, how under his bandages was a great beast, a hero beast, their chatter evolved into cheers and joy.
Telzhud remained completely still as it lay almost in rigor atop the crowd, its body crucified to the people, its people, those that he also loved. The android was recording it all, intaking the data and consuming it all organically, it understood the people to be others that it could love and that loved it. A tear formed in Telzhud’s eyes as its memories of Ophelia played over in its mind. The crowd carried their hero off towards the nearby hospital.
The android was not damaged too badly in any physical way, all its wounds would be healed and its missing skin and interior mechanics regenerated. Its heart, though, may never fully recover.
