Even if the majority had voted for you... I'm not alive. It's far much preferable to shut down— [a machine] To shut me down for my mistakes, than to risk executing an innocent human being. I've been prepared for this eventuality since Uchiha Itachi was removed from the competition.
[Letting out a miserable sound, Justice lowers down into a crouch, holding his head.]
When I thought I was going to be shut down...I was so scared. I didn't want to die...especially when I still had so, so much more I wanted to learn. Don't you want the time to learn, too?
As per usual, Connor isn't entirely sure of what to do with this. Learning how to comfort people continues to be an uphill climb for him, but he does lower himself to a crouch next to Justice. After a moment, he gently places a hand on his shoulder, unsure.]
... I don't know. [He sounds sincere about this. His answer would have been different four weeks ago, but now...] I don't think I would know what to do if I did have that time. All I've ever had has been my mission.
Then...maybe...we can figure it out, together? You only had your mission, and I only had...nothing, really. But I know I want to learn from you. So maybe...maybe you can also learn from me, too?
If that's what you want, I won't object. But my intended purpose is... different from yours. I'm not sure [--that there's anything to figure out] what I could teach you, if anything.
[The sentiment is appreciated, though, even if it's confusing for him.]
... I feel as if you've been active for far longer than I have, too. [Is the pseudo 10-year-old actually his robosenpai.] How long has it been since you were deployed?
But I've been in a pretty sheltered environment up until now...I suppose, even including now, but this is the most I've ever really seen before. It's a lot to take in. There's so much to learn...I...wasn't programmed with much information. My knowledge is...full of odd specifics, but nothing particularly practical. This was purposeful, of course.
... You have the rest of eternity now, I assume. The other gods seem to come from very diverse backgrounds, as well. I'm certain you will be able to fill the gaps in your knowledge within a short amount of time. [A beat.] And you'll have my help, as requested, for the duration of my stay at the temple.
[though he's still #unsure.]
What knowledge were you originally programmed with?
...I guess that's getting closer and closer, isn't it.
[He doesn't want to think about Connor leaving...]
I knew about various events in recent history that were relevant to my creator's intent for the game he had placed me in, such as the workings of a notorious serial killer. I have a vocabulary that's perhaps a bit more advanced for a boy the age I was designed to be.
[Time flies. It's weird to think that it's been an entire month already, when you're less than a hecking year old.]
To know about the workings of a serial killer is... an odd choice for an android that's designed to look like a child. What kind of game did your creator design that something like this would be relevant to you?

No, I'm not upset about that. I was just...worried about you. Really, really worried.

... It would have been alright.
[Well. Not exactly, but.]

That... doesn't sound very different from the competition we're currently in, does it?
