[Mia's been searching the city. First by foot, and then by network. Scrolling through post after post, ignoring most commentary unless it so amused her, until she finally comes to a realization.]

I left him behind, again. ...No. This time, I'm the one left behind.

[There's that terse silence.]

That was pointless to post. Instead, listen to these words:

"Evolution... does not always mean progress.
Evolution sometimes leads to an undesired vector.
It is arrogant for one to reject change because it is undesirable.
Rejection of change is the rejection of possibilities.
Allow diversity."

Tell me what something like this means to you. I think it's interesting, don't you?

[She could use a good distraction!]

...What sort of change?

[Well... he thinks he can share it with Mia, at least! She might understand, in some weird way. Either way, he switches to private. Even if he accepted his duty, he still wants to be a human here, when he can, when it's not his world.]

I'm not a human, despite looking like one. I learned that, back home. Isn't that weird? I act enough like one that I feel like I really should be one, but... despite wanting to be, I'm not.

Are you an AI?

[nyxterious]

No, that's not it. I've only really found out what an AI was since coming here, really.

[beautifulmemory]

Then I don't know what you are. Humans are interesting... but why would you want to be one?

Isn't guessing the fun part with these kinds of things? [He laughs, a hint of sadness mixed in.] Well... I lived with them for a long time, when I lost my memory. It was fun. More fun than I've ever had.
