I am alone. In your city.

I am afraid.

Will you kill me if you find me? I hope you don't. I will continue to hide.

We can be friends?

What I meant was... Did you choose to become a soldier? Or were you told that was your job?

( Cocoon had a lot of problems, a lot, but they'd always given the people the illusion of choice. Lightning chose to become Guardian Corps and Serah chose to go to university.

... Not that those choices are relevant any more. )

It's what this unit was programmed for.

No. There was no choice. This unit did not despair at the lack of choice, either. It did not know how to.

Well, now you can choose to do anything you want.

[01101110]

Uncertain. What does this unit want?

text.

[odinbolt]

Well, to make friends?

( That is why they messaged the network, right? )

text.

[01101110]

This goal has already been achieved.

[odinbolt]

I guess it has, huh...

But being friends doesn't end there, you know? It's something you're always working on.

[01101110]

Then how will this unit know when its task is complete?

text.

[odinbolt]

Well, maybe you shouldn't think of making friends as a task.

( Since friendship is an ongoing thing. Hm. Is there another way of explaining it... )

It's like a process. Always running.
