thinking about V1 having that fear of death. thinking of how they're like most of the other robots in Hell that are out after blood for survival.
thinking about how the Style system might not just be a way to get new weapons and upgrades but also to train their survival skills and even as a coping mechanism to make the whole experience of Fucking Dying be Fun and Bearable.
thinking about how while Prime Levels are fun extra challenges for us as players, that it might be required and canon for V1. are they scared? are they also fearful of how challenging they are, of seeing enemies turn Sanded because that's now less grains of sand in their shrinking hourglass? do they feel sorry, for the robots they kill that are just like them, just as desperate and scared? for the Prime Souls, who seemed just as trapped as they do in their fates?
does V1 fear the end of their journey? who created them, really? humans? humans they could've cared about before the need for blood and life outweighed the need for companionship? god? god, who could be guiding V1 as a true weapon to fix Their mistake then kill Them? Hell? does Hell just want to watch V1 suffer, in exchange for endless blood? does V1 care anymore about suffering - theirs, others, it doesn't matter - if it means they can live?
did they ever care? do they, still? even if they don't want to? even if they can't afford to?
