oh wow this a good piece of erotic horror! the bit at the end of ratna's story where she starts to make a connection with her about the mouse tattoo then ratna almost immediately shuts her off because to acknowledge that connection would be to acknowledge the possibility that androids have some sort of budding sentience. uaauggh i really like the implication too that this is the same android over several years, makes me wonder what happened to the other people in mari's life or if mari herself even feels anything. but i guess she's not supposed to-she's an object for all of them. really really good and a nice commentary on misogyny i think
