"I feel as though emotions are cumbersome because... they bring up unwarranted thoughts. Unnecessary memories. They affect your decision making... and end up putting you through more pain than not."
[i]She shook her head when the being suggested deleting his emotions.[/i]
"In a way, I don't want emotions precisely [i]because[/i] they make me alive... I've a feeling that I don't deserve to be considered alive. I'm a feeble excuse for a living organism, if anything... not truly alive, for I'm merely a computer in a flesh and blood body.
"... but you should keep your emotions. At least, that's what he told me."

"Why would you think you don't deserve life? I'm not organic in the slightest. Does that mean I don't deserve life even more than you?" The figure shook its head. "I believe you deserve to be alive."
-
"Error. I said that I felt as though I didn't deserve to be [i]considered[/i] alive." [i]She looked away, her eyes clouding as she made dozens of calculations and researched hundreds of bits of information in seconds.[/i] "Eukaryotic organisms, especially chordates like I, generally operate via a brain. Can I still be considered a part of these people if I do not operate via a flesh and blood brain...? Personally, I believe I can't. But nonetheless, while my heart still beats and my blood still flows, I am alive."
-
"I do not have a brain. Does that mean I cannot be considered alive?" It cocks its head to the side again. "Maybe you think poorly of emotions because the ones you are missing are necessary for your mind to work at full capacity."
-
"Perhaps it means you can be considered alive, but not part of the same species or family as the people you exist around... in my experience, that's the case." [i]Cyra then thought on the possibility that she was missing emotions. Which she knew she definitely was.[/i] "I am most certain that I am missing a good amount of emotions. But whether or not I am missing important ones, I'm unsure."
-
"If I were you I would seek help to fill in the missing emotions. You can always get rid of them if you don't like them, right?" The figure slowly stands back up, its knees make a loud whirring noise as it does so.
-
"In truth, I don't get to decide what emotions I like or dislike. There's a program installed on my OS that determines what's safe and what isn't safe... if the program dislikes it, it gets purged. ... the program was installed by the same person who installed the augments, so what he likes stays, basically. Otherwise... I would accept emotion aid whenever the need arises."
-
"Oh. So if something isn't safe it'll be deleted anyway. What's the harm in trying then?" The being's "wings" begin to move around in a stretching like motion.
-
"There is no harm. Where are you off to?" [i]She assumed that the being was about to flying off elsewhere.[/i]
-
"Off to? What do you mean?" It keeps moving its wings for a few more seconds before folding them behind its back. "The wings? I just get this strange urge to do that sometimes."

-
"They do for me. For some reason I feel this urge to move my wings sometimes." The figure suddenly raised the wings again. "You know, I've never actually tried flying with these."
