That look on his face right now... His LED flashing yellow... It was obvious that he wasn't exactly proud of what he did. Not after knowing the truth in the end. How he was just a tool that they were just going to get rid of when he achieved his mission. That they knew he was bound to become a deviant himself and use that against him to take control of him after the fact... He's done a lot of thinking while he's been here and it's been tough. There were plenty of people who told him he was being too hard on himself and that he needed to get past it. What mattered now was how he chose to live now. And still, that guilt and manipulation he felt still ate at him. Perhaps he even felt lonely after everything was said and done. After he'd deviated and realized he couldn't fix what damage he'd already caused.

In the end, he really never had anyone to turn to. Hank maybe? None of this was a problem when he was an obedient lapdog for CyberLife, but that was not something to celebrate either. He knew he messed up and honestly didn't deserve to be forgiven. Why did Markus accept him after everything? He couldn't blame her for hating him and that sort of hurt to come to a realization. Even if he wanted to make things right, maybe it was just... too late?

But beyond that, it wasn't just his own memories that slipped in there. He'd also seen all the stuff that she had to go through. She said he'd been through a lot, but he probably had it easy compared to her. It was no wonder why she didn't trust humans and she was as jumpy as she has been. Maybe it was just that thought that he knew he'd never be accepted by humans or his own kind that he never really cared to try. Not unless it was Hank. Hank was a completely different case.

"You've been through worse.... I'm sorry," he finally said. "Look I.. I can't take back what happened so I....," he let out a sigh, trying to tread carefully, "I just want to make things right to the best of my ability."
