[ 2B's eyes open and look to his face again when his shoulder nudges hers, though she doesn't release his hands. 2B feels hot, feverish; her systems, having been recently restored, kick into overdrive just by being next to 9S, and she feels like she could combust. He doesn't stop her, but she can see the confusion on his face even with his visor in the way.
She doesn't know about any contingency, though again, it likely wouldn't surprise her. All 2B knows is that 9S is here, whole and real, and while it isn't her Nines, it's close enough that need continues to gnaw away at her. Lowering his hands from her lips, she looks to his face at his question, and she swears that the artificial chambers of her heart crumble and dissolve.
Leaning close, she nudges the side of his face with her nose, closing her eyes. She reels trying to think of an answer, knowing she can't lie to him again. ]
... I don't know.
[ 2B says this softly, her lips grazing along his jawbone. The breaths she takes are shuddering and hot, almost as if they're bordering on sobs. Her eyes, thankfully, remain dry. ] Do you feel like you know me?
