Summary
She wasn’t around anymore, but death had never stopped a human from speaking, and it wouldn’t stop you.
You would tell that headstone (and that tree, that picture, that hill) about how you were no longer in a manufactured, digitized headache of a landscape. You’d tell her that her husband was doing well. That he was the kindest person you’d ever met.
You’d thank her for loving him. Tell her that he still loved her too; that he’d likely never stop loving her, though you’re sure that she’d heard that from him first. You’d thank her for loving him because now, to your immense privilege, you get to love him.In which Caine, now human (his truest wish), wonders how a machine ought to fit into the natural world. In which Caine ruminates on what is perhaps the most precious relationship of his life.
