Rewind and Chromedome are Conjunx Enduras, or spouses. Chromedome had to blow Rewind up as an act of mercy. Chromedome has had past lovers and deleted his memories of them. This is the whole speech Rewind threw out on a data slug before he died:

"Your attention for a moment. This is Rewind, showing you edited footage from my database. I've probably got 0.8 seconds before game over, so hear me out. I've always been terrified that you'd die before I did, because you and me apart strikes me as intensely wrong. So promise me something. Be brave. And be strong. And keep going without me. And another thing: no more injecting. It will kill you. And remember: you deserve to be happy. The New Institute was the old you. You're a better person now—stubborn and frustrating, but wonderful. And to think, I will never see you again. One more thing—one last thing—because I don't say it enough: I love you."

If you have not read MTMTE yet, I will buy every last issue and send them to you. Because this comic is the best TF comic yet, even better than Furrman.

4! holy, well the only one I found so far is wayward games. But you are welcome. ^+^
