[counterstep]

no? how would you describe it then?

and happiness isn't something I really think about
for my own sake

[reconstruction]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was agreeing with you. It isn't just right or wrong that has someone act on something. There are other factors to it, too. The consequences of those actions.

Why is that?

[counterstep]

oh
right
okay
yeah it can get pretty complicated even just figuring it out from your own perspective, but usually there are always others around you too

happiness isn't really needed for the mission, is it?

( he's trying to frame it in a way that's easier to understand, though of course happiness isn't something connor was programmed to feel directly either, without deviancy. reacting in a way humans perceive to be joy is the closest most androids get to the feeling itself. )

Don't most people want others with like-minded beliefs around them?

[oh. this feels uncomfortable.]

No, but that's implying you're always on a mission. [except, that's all Connor had been: on, on, on. never off, never free.] If you want to talk to me about that, you're welcome to.
