Given what you've experienced in this world, would you return to your own if given the choice?

I've nothing to return to there.

[Except his inevitable death - at least, that's what he thinks.]

There would be no point in returning now.

[perfectible]

So you've made this place your home?

[d33tached]

[That's a loaded question if he's ever heard one - but, then again, so are most questions when it comes to D33. Usually, though, he can at least come up with some sort of answer to them.

[This one's tougher. After all, D33 doesn't exactly have a strong concept of what a "home" is. Where he'd come from certainly hadn't been one - and that had been all he'd ever known.

[Here, he has a warm bed and someone to share it with, belongings of his own, clothes that he chooses to wear and food that he chooses to eat. Even so, he can't quite bring himself to give Betty a "yes". It would almost feel as though he were admitting defeat, allowing this place that he supposedly detests to become his "home".]

I am in no need of a home.

[Is that vague and dismissive enough for you?]

I make do with what I have been given.

[perfectible]

[ Correction:] Everyone needs a home. It doesn't have to be a place, it can be a person or a feeling...

There's nothing wrong with that. Making do.

I've lived my entire life without a home, Miss Cooper.

[Yeah, he's creepin' on your network name. What of it?]

Here I stand regardless.

[perfectible]

You don't want to try and change that?

[d33tached]

I see little point in doing so.

[Honestly, he's never even considered it. He wouldn't know how to have a home even if he tried.]

[perfectible]

Why?

[ Because that's just Sad.]

[d33tached]

[That's D33 for ya.]

It isn't necessary to one's survival. A house - a shelter, that is - perhaps, but not this "home" of which you speak.

That is a mere concept, and a weak one at that.

[perfectible]

I would argue that you're wrong on both counts but I guess it's a matter of opinion.
I'm sorry you feel that way.

[d33tached]

And I would hardly agree that such a thing is a "matter of opinion".

[It totally is, but who's counting?]

How can you possibly argue that a purely emotional sensation is necessary for one's physical survival?

That doesn't make any sense.
