To the last person I fell in love with,
I woke up this morning and still I thought about you, but do you know what makes today different? I don't miss you anymore. This time, I am finally ok. I'm finally letting you go. I'm happy now and I hope you are too. I'm closing this chapter today love. Despite all that has happened, I'm still thankful I met you.

so murderbot assumes that three offered its armor because it doesn't understand that the armor can belong to it and thinks mb taking the armor is just good resource allocation.
but if it assumes it doesnt have control over the armor, it would probably let whoever it sees as in charge (maybe ART?) handle it, or at least make the suggestion directly to that person. even newly freed in NE, it's willing to give its security advice (on hostage situations being undesirable) even if it doesn't expect to be taken seriously. it doesn't make sense to me that it would have so much trouble expressing the offer if it were just a security suggestion.
and then i think about how murderbot says later in the book that even if three felt fondly toward its fellow SecUnits, the govmod would prevent it from expressing that care or knowing it was returned.
so-- imagine you're three, and you havent yet internalized that you can just say "i care about you and dont want you to get hurt" to another SecUnit; but you can make sure that it has every resource it might need; you could probably do that even before the govmod was hacked.
you can't explain why, but you can hope that the gesture is explanation enough, and you can look for similar caretaking gestures in return; things like being given code and advice to do your job better, and being reassured when you express that you're finding said job difficult.
i think *murderbot* isn't aware of this language of care, because it hasnt had much opportunity to bond with other constructs. but three probably is, and probably knows how to read between the lines and guess that murderbot is starting to care about it, too.

The greatest strength is facing life's challenges and not letting yourself become bitter and hardening your heart until you turn into what hurt you. The greatest strength is becoming whatever would have saved you.

I've never experienced grief before
Never thought much about it
About never seeing someone again
How they disappear through time
Slowly learning how to live without them
And how you don't even think about being mad with them
All you have are those nice memories that play over and over at the theater inside of your brain
Funny how grief and breakups have the same stages
denial, when I didn't believe you would break up with me
anger, when all I did was worshiping you in every way
bargaining, when I remembered all the great things we did together
depression, when I realized I'll have to live without you
acceptance, when I recognized I deserved better, even if you were good to me in certain ways
Now I know I'm grieving for you
And you aren't even dead

I regret dating down, dating someone who's giving me the bare minimum. Jusmiyo, na inlove pajud ko. She doesn't deserve me at all. Of all my exes, mao rajud ni ang dli friend nako after the break up.

In Another Life.
You could not love me, i don't blame you
I couldn't love me either, not when it mattered anyways.
So i just kept on watching,聽
As the brown skin of my hands turned blood red,
Exactly like the blood moon聽
A sign of the beginning of the end.聽
An end to the sleepless nights,
And death of the endless what ifs.
It's not that I found an answer,聽
I just became too tired to seek them.聽聽
Maybe in another life, across this world or other
You and I could have been forever.
But not here, not now.聽聽
Because you are so full of life,
And I carry death in my heart.聽
Because you taste like heaven,聽
And I'm built of sin.聽
Your hands covered in soil telling stories,聽
Of all the gardens you tended to.聽
My hands wrapped in dirt,聽
Carrying ghosts of all the tragedies that I buried in those gardens.聽
Maybe this is goodbye for us,
Or Maybe I'll see you again.聽
But it'll never feel the same,聽
Neither to you, nor to me.聽
So I will find you in another lifetime,聽
Where we'll be right for each other.聽
Where you won't have to look for signs,聽
And I won't be too wounded to cry.
