7 - R-30471
What makes someone human?
Scratch that.
What makes someone… a person. A living, thriving person? Not necessarily breathing, but rather using the time they have and making the most of it?
R-30471 doesn't know if they deserve to call themselves human. Hells, they don't even want to use the name so-graciously given to them by the one human they really cared about. Because why use something from someone you failed to even save?
Caltya says it isn't their fault. It was bound to happen one day. So why them? Why choose to save the one being, the one entity, on that floating oasis of contradictions that didn't even know if they were truly a person?
Caltya says that it was simply fate. R-30471 wished it were otherwise.
Because learning how to live is harder when you wish you were anything other. They wished they could go back to the way things were, to being a simple, mindless drone. They wouldn't have been saved, they wouldn't have met the variety of people that between-worlds place Caltya brought them to, they wouldn't have had to meet her-
Maybe it's guilt that makes someone human. It would explain the blood R-30471 sheds whenever they think about her.
