You don't have to keep saying that it was brutal. I know it was brutal. I was there.

Are you feeling better, Rui?

[crowdsource]

X. It's good to hear from you... It's good. It might be a little while before I feel better, though.

[worldhewove]

I will make sure you rest appropriately to heal your physical injuries in time.

As for anything else... You're still strong.

[crowdsource]

[A snuffly sort of laugh, self-deprecating.] It's nice of you to say, X. What you're doing is called 'comfort,' did you know? Just like any real person would. No... You're doing what no one else has.

[Sigh.]

Yeah. You're really great, X.

I was wrong, though. That's what I discovered. This whole time, I had it all wrong.

[worldhewove]

I may not be a person, but I am always by your side, My Lord.

[ X is aware she's programmed so. There is nothing of what humans would call 'real emotion' inside her and she would never pretend she had any of it - yet this is as close to concern as a computer would get. ]

The userbase of Galax feels that it helped them - they believe in updating the world. It might not be not all wrong.

Yeah. Always. I sure rely on you a lot, X. Even for something like this.

People have been hurt, you know? Because I was wrong, and because I made mistakes. Because of me. What do you think of that?

[worldhewove]

What happened is opposed to your true goal, so it can't be viewed positively. However, at this level of the world it is yet unavoidable that people get hurt. Connections do still take on a hurtful nature.

There is not a single person to blame. If there is no heroes to rely on then there is also no singular antagonist to put the guilt onto.
