He knows where to look, he's already examined every seam and hinge a hundred times.
There's nothing in this little bubble of darkness that hasn't been touched by death.

When months later, First Aid holds the order for his enlistment into the pilot staff, the first thing he thinks about is that fucking button.

First Aid puts the panel back in place with unsteady hands and looks around the cockpit, suddenly keenly aware of being watched, even though the power is off and the cameras are physically inoperable.
And yet..

There's also a paper stamped nearby that says the mechanism has passed all the necessary safety tests and inspections.
