I never hurt him. No matter how much he deserved it or how much Father wanted it. That isn't justice.
But it doesn't make him your savior either. He just realized that all those copies of me he kept building couldn't actually beat me. Everything he does is just to serve him. A robot uprising with himself at the top of everything? Flipping which side is enslaved isn't equality. And one day maybe you'll understand that.
[But now his face feels hot and he finds himself less interested in Proto's response. It'll be something hurtful and it won't change anything. He starts downstairs, clutching the banister tightly after he stumbles on the first two steps. He hasn't mastered that kind of movement yet. The ankle joint is in the wrong place on a human body.]
He at least let me live. And we didn't serve him. We protected what he was making. Protected Gamma.
[And Proto mostly just worked to get the right to go after his father. And with the other man going, well, he isn't going to deal with any of this if Mega is going to walk away.]
[Walking away is happening for sure. He's going to get closer to where there's Christmas, an he's going to start a conversation and make a friend and going to have an aggressively cheerful holiday celebration or die trying.
Because otherwise, he just wants to shoot something and there isn't a single thing here that's okay to shoot.]
