So I’ve been working on this for a few days to get my mind off sooooo many things.

[Anakin holds up his prosthetic arm and presses what must be a small button. Strings of LED lights following what would be muscle lines light up. They are red at first. He presses a button again and the lights start to change colors, rotating through the color spectrum.]

And I have this setting-

[Another press of the button and the lights flash in a pattern.]

And one more thing.

[He presses a different button and then he moves his arm. Every time he moves the arm or hand, the prosthetic makes robot noises.]

I’m ready for my next rave.

[He smiles. It feels good. It's been a roller-coaster lately.]

Appears so. That's very clever. [A bit unnecessary (or Extra, as you kids call it) but clever. He can understand the need to keep one's mind and hands busy.] What made you decide on that specifically?

[It's absolutely necessary! Anakin doesn't know why he didn't do this sooner.]

I have a robotic arm - why not this specifically?

[temptationaccomplished]

I hadn't really thought about that. Leaning into the aesthetic, as it were, I guess?

I don't have any implants so I don't know if I can call myself a cyborg yet.

[temptationaccomplished]

Do you want to be a cyborg? Seems awfully troublesome, really.

... I'm an amputee ...

[temptationaccomplished]

That doesn't necessarily mean you want implanted cyborg parts, does it?

Science is closer to biomechanical prosthetics than they are to regrowing limbs.
