Six has memories of before & after, and really it shouldn't be any different. She should be one seamless being. But if flesh has taught her anything it is that the vessel matters. Not just the data stored in the intricate tendrils of soft brain but the brain itself. Flesh brings with it humanity. Living in the depths of Gaius's psyche brings with it a type of madness. Oh, she loves him. How could she not? They are one, they share flesh. Closer than the crude invasion of space that is sex but really being inside him. When he comes in her hands the shudders of pleasure shoot through her non-body, climb their way up her spine spun from psychosis and delirium. He bends to kiss her like Narcissus bending to kiss his own reflection in the water and she- Six, human, cylon, fantasy, flesh- displaces the angles of his face with her own.
