I hope he finds the answers he's looking for. The reason I was created was very different than his.
[He nods.]
I was so lost when I first gained sentience. All I knew was that I didn't want to die. I didn't have a plan, my body was so weak I couldn't walk. I had to crawl during my attempted escape. I wasn't a puppet, but I was a battery.
Without Rider or Ruler I never would've thought of having desires of my own.
[He hesitates, but then reaches out to put his hand on Sieg's.]
It's...confusing, being brought into the world in such a way. Terrifying, even. I hope the same thing for him...for anyone like us, in any way. I know this contest has taken many tragic turns, but nonetheless I think it's a wonderful opportunity to learn from all kinds of people. I hope you're each able to find something that will help you better understand yourselves.
[He allows it, looking at Piety's hand on top of his own. It would've been so strange that anybody would bother touching him like that when he was first made... He slowly relaxes.]
Free will... it's a scarier thing than most people realize. To know what your purpose is but be terrified of it and run... humans don't know that. They can find their own purpose, they aren't made for anything specific. They just are. It's different.
I want to learn about the gods and the people here.
