canon is "they're not like us"

Y'know being held hostage in some nutjob's freak cult was preferable to this.

That must have been some cult, considering this is a rather pleasant alternative to a lot of things.

Seriously? You're pretty warped if you really think that. We're puppets here. We're not even thinking for ourselves.

Au contraire! Though we are here at the behest of a greater power, we shape their thoughts. Force them to live in our shoes, manifest us. René Descartes put forward the idea that our perception of reality could merely be the illusion of a demonic being, that had total control over our senses and merely made us think we had bodies and we would have no way of knowing if we even have bodies.

Here? We are aware the demon exists and further, we know they like us. Want to represent us to the best of their ability. If we are puppets, but we're all Pinocchios.
