He harbored an infatuation towards her, she knew.
Ooh.
*waggles eyebrows*
…but yeah, I guess we might be about to delve into Dragon feeling like she can’t have a true relationship because she’s a computer program and no one will accept her if they find out what she is.
(I think that one person with (as of right now) two thousand, three hundred and forty-four hours of registered playtime in Doki Doki Literature Club might disagree.)
She didn’t know if she returned those feelings. Her programming suggested she could love, but she didn’t know how to recognize the feeling.
Ahh… that’s a sad, yet oddly relatable statement, depending on how you read the word “love”.
I think most of us have been there at some point with “is this how love feels, or am I fooling myself?” …right? Or is that just me?
Anything she read spoke of butterflies in one’s stomach, a rapid heartbeat, a feeling of electricity crackling on body contact. Biological things.
Yeah, we’re not very good at actually describing emotions in terms other than similes or bodily responses.
She could admit she was fond of him in a way she wasn’t fond of anyone else.
Good first step, that, whether it’s love or an intense friendship.
And again, is there that much difference?
She recognized that she was willing to overlook his faults in a way she shouldn’t.
True. He’s an arrogant criminal who took advantage of an Endbringer situation to make himself look good at the expense of lives, but Dragon doesn’t seem to really mind that.
I suppose that’s what happens when you make a human consciousness and emotions for an AI… it starts being able to act illogically.
