That's just how humans are. A lot of the time, you might not realize something until it's too late. You can talk about regretting things that could have been done or should have, but we can't change the past. And even if it were possible, the outcome of the changed past might potentially be worse than the present.

I'd know. I've seen multiple outcomes of a single person's life.

[ He says that rather casually with a shrug of his shoulders. ]

It's fine. A lot's... happened, after all.

...You always sound so detached when you do that. Talk so...generally, about humanity.

[ Somehow? She's not surprised. Of course he's seen multiple outcomes of a person's life. Naturally. She's heard of string theory, after all. ]

I'm not human, after all.

[ He shrugs his shoulders, almost indifferent for a moment. ] Or, well, maybe it's just a little difficult. To express emotions that are my own. But... I don't hate humanity; it's actually the opposite for me.

[throwabookatit]

Hmm.

[ She's thoughtful. And a little distant? ]

You love humanity, but it's hard to express it. Is that it?

[swordsinternally]

Something like that.
