Do you have experience with regret?

[Seth isn't even sure if he even wants to answer the text but eh, what harm will it do? Only drive him into pits of emotions he wants to deny.]

I'd say doesn't everyone but why ask then? So yeah. I think most people do shit they regret, it's about how you handle that and if you wallow in it.

You'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't.

[wickedwest]

Not much, but I'm learning.

Who doesn't?

Yes. A lot.

Never in my life.

[voiceinthedark]

I think that's just a thing everyone experiences, to one degree or another.

I've been more into pregret, lately.

More than my fair share. I thought it was the human condition.

[Oh, how unbelievably shocked Rip is by this.]

[forwearemany]

Geth do not regret. Prior actions cannot be changed; it is useless to dwell on them.

(And yet, like all the other emotions they aren't supposed to have, they find themselves experiencing it.)

[forwearemany]

(They switch to video as well, after a moment.)

...Pregret?

[directed]

I'm afraid I haven't heard of the Geth. However, from a purely logical standpoint, certainly what you've suggested is quite true.

Yet regret, as it is with all other emotions, isn't at all logical.

...I do, but isn't that normal for most? I'm still feeling regret right now, although I believe the primary reason for that is because I feel like my time before arriving in Wonderland was cut short.

[ Oh boy. ]

Isn't regret a part of life? If no one ever regrets anything, how do they live and learn?

( voice )

[chantes]

I have, but I have also seen people who have no remorse or regret despite their actions.

[didntknowbest]

Some, yes. Why do you ask?

[She really hopes they don't ask too many follow-up questions. Boy, is this a subject she does not really want to talk about.]

[plutonicideals]

Of course I do.

Did something happen? Are you okay? Do you need me to get whatever it is robots like and find a good movie and we can watch something together?

[forwearemany]

Recently, I have been ...reminded of actions undertaken prior to my current existence.

(Well, not all that recently, but they haven't been able to get their mind off of it.)

Though it is not required, I would not object to participating in an activity with you.

[plutonicideals]

And they were actions you regret. Do you want to apologize for it? Because you can.

And we can watch whatever you want, but it'll probably be a generic offbrand of it because the closets are weird.

[forwearemany]

I am not Human.

[watchmaker]

My bad. Well, speaking as a human, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't feel regret over something or other.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

We are experiencing difficulties determining how to act on these illogical impulses.
