When I went to look for food, I went into a food processing plant.
There's something off about the factory. It's empty, but it's still operating.
I climbed over a noise barrier and entered the factory. The noise from the machines was deafening.
Countless Tai'E and Guardians were hanging on the production line and moving along a huge machine.
They were pulverized and flattened into scrap metal on the work bed.
That's the right decision.
The duty of Tai'E is to protect humanity.
I know that.
Robots obey orders. The highest command of Tai'E is to protect mankind. All Tai'E are the same—simple and easy to understand.
But you have always been different. I never know what you're going to do.
I never hated you. I'm not installed with an emotion module, so I can't like or hate.
I just feel... unaccustomed around you, and confused.
G3... Sorry. For a moment, I wavered and had doubts about the point of my existence in the world.
I feel that there is malice and confrontation in this world.
But I have also felt that... humans... are full of goodwill and are worthy of protection.
So this time, I'm not executing orders because of my programming.
But because I want to. That's why I chose this human. Because this human being is special to me...
I'll protect her at all costs.
