They did the right thing. (Spoilers for "Unnatural Selection") 106 words...

=====

Title: Right
Prompt: "haunt"

"We did the right thing."

I said it, almost trying to convince myself more than Jonas and Carter.

I may not understand the whole concept of a robot having humanity.

But I'm not heartless.

I'm not happy with what had to be done, but I did it anyway.

It's my job.

God forbid you ever have to walk a mile in my shoes, Carter.

Then you really might know what it's like to make the hard choices.

And lose a part of yourself each time.

Ultimately, we did the right thing.

Even if the image of Fifth frozen in time will haunt me for a while...
