You did what you had to do, in order to survive the Framework. But it was a simulation. An illusion created by Radcliffe.
You were there, alongside me the whole time, allowing horrific acts of violence to be carried out in your name.
You're implying I had a choice. I was a slave, programmed to make the adjustments Radcliffe required. The world changed from there. All I did was try to fit into it.

Befriending you, trying to understand what it felt like to connect with someone. But I wasn't able to actually feel anything, until today.
