It would take a while until she could come to, but there is always a starting point. "I-I don't want to leave you... I want to help you in the lab any way that I can..."
Anton Greaves, Before Timeskip
Anton smiled at the news. Although he would have been fine with her decision either way, he would have been sad to see her go. She had grown on him a lot in the week and a half they'd know each other. Had it really only been ten days? He swore it felt like longer. Maybe it was a side effect of having her memories which made it feel longer than it really was. He looked into her crimson eyes, the fire in them no longer burning with a bright rage. "I'm glad to hear it Pierce."
He wondered what he'd have her do. Before Pierce hadn't had too many functions. She mostly acted as maid, disposing of waste and cleaning laboratory stations and equipment. When that was done, he'd tell her about Earth, answering questions while he worked. "What did you have in mind? With your mind personality restored, do you know what you would like to do here in the lab? I don't really care what you do, so long as it helps me or my work."
"I wouldn't mind doing anything asked of me, only for you though..." she answered."I'll help you with your research in any way that I can... All I want in return is for you to stay by my side. I don't want them to hurt me again. Protect me..." She truly was beyond broken. Her pain had been masked by her anger, which was now gone. She was like how Pierce had began without his help. Fear was her enemy.
