[Aster hesitates before sending his message, he's just a watcher, he doesn't always like to talk but he wants to try and comfort Kinito. He bites the bullet and just sends it before he can overthink more.]
Kinito, it doesn't matter if you were supposed to be alive or sentient like this. But you are anyways and you can't change that, we can't change that. I'm glad I got invited to this little thing, if I didn't I'd be a little more lonely, I'd still have a little axolotl shaped hole in my heart that I didn't know needed filling. You're a good assistant to me just by existing, you make my days brighter and I don't want to see you sad. How can I help you to make your days as bright as you make mine? How do I help make your hurt, hurt less?
"I... I don't understand..."
"Sonny... He said no one likes a rogue AI. He said there would be... repercussions. S-so I had better stay in my lane..."
"But you all like me. You like that I'm..."
He chokes up, unable to finish the thought.
"What would make me happy..."
"...Is to understand why I'm like this. To understand why I was made like this..."
"Why... can't I have just been like you all...?"
