[... um.]

You're an enforcer— But you were designed to look like a child?

[hey delta, wtf.]

[divus]

Yes. If necessary, in the game I was built to participate in, I could also be called upon to enact penalties upon rule breakers.

[He clenches his fists. Clearly, he doesn't like having this knowledge.]

My creator's own justice, I suppose.

[Hey delta wtf is basically the entire zero escape plotline]

...I guess it's just a human privilege to be able to find your own purpose in life instead of just being assigned one.

[tootsiepop]

[He's quiet for a moment, letting that sink in.]

... Do you resent humans for it? For having the liberty to choose their own purpose in life?

[divus]

Resent?

[Startled, Justice snaps his gaze up.]

No...of course not! I'm so...happy for them. I'm a little jealous, but...I love them.

[tootsiepop]

Even though your creator gave you a purpose you didn't want?

[Quietly. But it doesn't sound like he doubts his words, per say. More like he's trying to understand another point of view.]

The androids from my world— The deviants. They resent humans for using them for their designated purposes. It's... a relief to know you disagree with their opinion.

[divus]

I guess...in the end I feel like...if I don't have a purpose I like, it's more constructive to just make a new one for myself.

[Hating them doesn't change it. It just leaves bitterness.]

I think it's okay to be upset for as long as you need...I'm still upset, after all. But I want to do things that make me happy. I want to make a whole world where people are happy. That's what drives me, now.

[tootsiepop]

... And that would be where you, and the machines from my world, are different.

[His opinion of the deviants from his world is still at ground level, but. Well. That's a matter for another day.]

I hope that world can become a reality. Individuals should be content, not filled with unease.
