What would his parents think? Quite the idealistic, self-righteous, stance she'd taken, but she did hold the ball at this point. No amount of technological jumble could sort through any myriad of logical information for an answer to this burning question.
But he had an answer.
"They'd be ashamed. Mortified, even. They'd wish upon me any and all punishment necessary." He explained. "And I wouldn't blame them." He offered with a shrug. "But as a parent..." He began, somewhat unsure of himself. "I'd think they'd still love me, and hopefully understand my pain; the pain I feel for myself, and for my sister. And I'd hope they'd understand that my wrongdoings, though inexcusable, were done out of passion at what I, and Sophie, have potentially lost. Our humanity. Our ways of life." He finished. "But I wouldn't expect you to understand any of that, though I hope you'd take time to reflect on it." He offered, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"It's selfish to say I've done what I have for myself and Sophie. It's all been for me. Every life, every building, street; you name it. I was, and will likely always be, hopelessly angry at what they've done to me, and to Sophie. She's young, but she can think for herself; but while it's not to her benefit with what I've done; I'm just as capable of feeling that hopeless anger for her, too." He murmured.
"In the end, I think my parents would probably be wary of her keeping in my company; but only in the tides of my wrongdoings. As I am now? What I'm trying to be? The strides I've made to correct my mistakes, though they can't entirely be erased?" He paused. "I couldn't say. I'd like to think I could be given a second chance. I want to be better, and I can be better, for her sake."
Casting a glance her way. "And as for you? They'd be gracious for your inclusion in her life. For taking care of her in my absence, and being a guardian where I couldn't be. I really can't speak for them, but I think they'd like you. And I think they'd like us to work together, rather than contend and oppose one another. But, really...what do I know?"
His feet carried him away as he finished. "I'm just a faulty, psychopathic, android...and you're human."
