Humans starve, humans die, humans get sad, and humans also make friends.
Amy taught me the last one.
Oh, don't forget to disassemble me before selling my parts. My circulatory energy capsule is a universal one, so it should be able to fetch a high price.
Please don't tell Amy for now.
As her friend, I don't wish for her to experience the first three things so soon, and never to if possible.
As for me... I still don't quite know what it means to be alive. After all, I'm not human.

Robert was not prey. We never saw him as prey.
Do you remember that winter when we almost couldn't make it? Robert... He made a decision back then.
We didn't disassemble him. We couldn't, mentally nor physically.
So he decided to tear off his own energy capsule and created the hunting grounds in the foundation pit.
He used the Corrupted, used the Punishing Virus concentration scale to achieve self-hunting and disassembled himself.
We didn't mean to make the hunting grounds.
But it's also true that we didn't put an end to it.
