Until… well, when I woke up…
I’d been toiling night and day.
She was like this. Plundered.
Can’t you feel it?
As long as we keep her happy.
(sigh) It’s my fault.
She’ll do all the real work.
Come on, feed her! She’s starving.
Where’ve you been?
Hm… she wants more from you.
I… dozed off a bit.
Look. I’m not gonna coddle you.
And for what?
Feels like I’ve been crankin’ her for ages.
Understood?
And that means, keepin’ her purring.
You help me, I help you.
I’ll take that as yes.
That her… innards were filched.
No breaks. No rest.
Now stand back.
That was a long time ago.
