So, I woke up."One minute, twenty-four seconds, four tenths, twenty hundredths and three thousandths, definitely more than I expected.""So little...?""How much time do you think you passed in there?""At least a month...""Perhaps the perception of the inexorable passage of time changes based on the living being experiencing it.""..."I've been staring into space for a while... I'm disturbed. Suffering has never been something I've experienced firsthand... But observing it directly through the eyes of a young girl enslaved by a cruel and invisible race..."Hey, everything okay, Olivia? I saw what happened too, but remember we can't dwell on the past. If they sent us robots, it means that the emotions we observe are not relevant to our research.""But... Didn't it bother you? Seeing all that suffering in such a small creature?'""Pity is a trait of your creator that you unfortunately inherited. Anyway, no, it didn't bother me, life for living beings can be cruel. See the bright side, we've gathered important information, maybe we'll find other creatures like this or maybe one of that race that has never shown itself... I like it when we make progress!"Perhaps because of the cold, or perhaps because I felt bound to that sacred place, I had a little trouble getting back up.I slowly rewound the cable into my thigh and after cleaning it with a piece of cloth, I put my backpack back on, in which Aurora crawled. Before leaving the skull, I looked one last time at the dark room containing that crystal full of regrets. I wanted to cry, but my creator didn't give me tear ducts to allow me to do so."
