Charon likes Mephi. She likes its whirrs, its groans, and the way it responds to her will. She likes the power it lends her, the crowds making way for it or turning into mere splatters. She likes that it can fight in her stead, if needed.
She also likes how Mephi keeps everyone safe. How it's a home as much as a bus. How warmly it keeps watch on them, and how its windows offer the best view. Mephi is their friend, even when others forget that truth.
