"Yes. Angry and frustrated. Sad that so many humans couldn't see the people with feelings right in front of them. Sometimes I grew impatient and desperate.
The worst back then was when a robot called Blue Knight tried to organize a rebellion. I understood his anger and pain; we had even been allies liberating robots who had been kidnapped for scrapping and illegal purposes, but I couldn't understand when he called for violent force. I wanted humans and robots to be friends like Professor Ochanomizu always said we were meant to be, and killing would make them more afraid. He was the first robot to ever kill a human. I fought with him. Then one of the humans managed to pin him to a wall. They arrested him there and built an entire prison around him. The government claimed he had malfunctioned and returned to calling him by his model number. And I accepted that story, for years..."

"Shortly before I arrived through the Servant's Gate, there was another incident where robots died, and I experienced the desire to really harm someone for the first time. I learned how to feel hatred."
