Y-Yeah. I didn't want anything to be violent, but, the ones who did convinced me to back up what they wanted. I knew it was wrong, but I was just really scared...and I wanted them to be my friends. I thought if I did what they asked, they'd like me more.
[But they are still not his friends. :( ]
It didn't work, and now people are just getting hurt...I hate it.
Catra told me that I shouldn't pretend to be something I'm not just to make people like me. I was left behind by my friends too.... or, I thought they were my friends.
[ turns out: left her to die!!! not that it's just a stupid misunderstanding or anything. ]
You should be true to yourself. Your real friends will accept you.
Also, this is voluntary. We all agreed to this! And we'll be revived at the end.
[ entrapta claps her hands together though. ]
Oh yes! Catra's helped me get my hands on First Ones tech, and I've made more progress on my research with Horde technology than ever before! Being with her and Scorpia has advanced my progress exponentially!
And they don't get mad at me like everyone else does.
You're right! Everyone's just been so upset about it, it feels like that's almost not enough.
[Justice pauses.]
You really, really love to research. I think that's incredible. And that's, um, that's actually what I wanted to ask you about. R-researching, I mean. If you have time, if you could look into something for me.
Incredible! Can I study you? Can I see your circuits? I won't take you apart, of course --- just look, but this is amazing! I didn't know it was possible!

I'm learning that, now. I'm just going to be myself, even if that means I seem like I'm a coward. Are...are you happier now? With your new friends?

[This is so much. Why did he not anticipate it being So Much??]
Y...you can study me as much as you want! I just, I can't take this mask off yet, so it might be a little hard...I'm sorry.
no subject
Oh? Is that part of the rules of the competition?

[Self-consciously, Justice touches a hand to his masked cheek.]
But as soon as I can, I'll take it off for you, so you can see exactly why I, um...why I need to be upgraded.
