That Scene Was Well Done - Tumblr Posts

Oh my goodness, I love that scene, too! It's like for a second you think Zane has Nadakhan backed into a corner, and then, wait a second...PIXAL!!!!! 😲

Like, she already got dismantled in season 4, and now she's being completely torn apart, her code being ripped from his head and dissappearing.

And, of course, Zane can't lose her forever. She was the first one who could truly and completely understand what being a nindroid was really like. She GOT him. She helped him remember who he was made to be in Chen's dungeon. She encouraged him while she herself was lying in pieces. She is his other half.

And he forgot to account her into his plan. Maybe because he was overconfident.

Maybe because she had become such a constant in his systems that her consciousness being in his head had become as natural to him as blinking his eyes.

To Zane, him and Pixal were one. Separate entities, of course, but together, joined, inseparable.

But of course, this was not technically true, according to Nadakhan's rules, at least.

So he panics.

Everything was going so smoothly, and now it's all falling apart around him.

And then that silky smooth voice. Promising to make it stop. To silence his love's screams as she's picked apart 1 by 0. To put her back together, to make everything alright again.

Maybe the voice can fix it? Maybe the voice can help?

Her screams are ringing in his ears. His head feels lighter almost, as if something in it is missing.

He just wants it to stop.

He wishes he could just wish it all away.

The voice says that he can.

And so he does.
