Didn't know I was hiding it. Everyone knows by now.

It is good that you care for other people. Do you believe that humans are inherently good?

Then stop saying you're fine when you're not. I get enough of that from Xion.

I... suppose? I generally try to stay... levelheaded, I guess.

So, how do you intend to help? This is a very easy question.

A reasonable point of view. It is my perspective that people cannot be trusted to control themselves or guard their minds against corruption or malice on their own, and require help in these matters.

...Because it is easier...?

-chooses now to speak up-

What is it that makes a human inherently good?

I'll ask what I can do.

"Oh! That is an interesting point of view! -and then Sak- Well, I believe when a human is conceived, they are unable to comprehend the idea of morally poor acts. Or morally correct acts, but, they learn how to achieve those through parental guidance!"

Not understanding morality does not exempt you from it. If I murder and rape but I did not know it was wrong, I have still done an evil thing and deserve punishment.

-nods-

And, on another thought, what happens if the parent guides them to something morally wrong?

Well... now that you mention it, yes. It might sound odd, but I feel like being stoic is easier than being upset or afraid.

If a krogan heard me make that joke, they'd crush me til I was yea big and kick me around as a biotiball.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

"-Lempi- ... I do not believe there is a human being that is not aware of the morality behind those actions. I feel there is, perhaps, a natural sense towards things that are not morally sound. -And Then Sakura- ... I feel that is the unfortunate consequence of poor choices on the part of the parents, and those have an unfortunate effect on the offspring as well. But, I am not the best person to discuss various form of philosophy with, I will admit my thought processes are more... streamlined, than most."

Who are you going to ask? Me? If I knew how to fix this, I'd have already done it.

But I don't, because I know there isn't actually a cure. So stop trying to "fix" me.

Oh, I don't mind it. The fact that I can discuss these things at all with a robot... er, you are a robot, aren't you? An android? What a time to be alive...

I see... -nods- But emotions are healthy to express. It is the best option, sometimes. There is no shame.

Yes, those actions are inherently wrong. But say a part of my brain dictating basic conduct does no function and I commit those actions, totally unknowingly. Am I innocent?

You're right. I can't fix you. Xion tried to fix you, and look how she ended up.

Darn it, Xion...

But maybe I can still make things easier for you. Provide some relief.

"-Lempi- Well, at that point, I think one would be under some sort of, moral gray area. Those are the exceptions, not the norm, and I am not sure how I would categorize those sort of incidents. -and the Emiya- Mm, android is the more accurate term, but call me what you please! -chipper grin-"

I dislike the idea of shades of gray. It is the easy way out.

-smiles at her-

I'm glad we had this talk, you know?

-grins right back at her-

I have a question, if it's not so much trouble... were you programmed for philosophy, or is this something you developed on your own?
