Among two puppets

Raiden Shogun

This tea is quite exquisite. I find such moments of tranquility... enlightening.

Raiden Shogun

Tell me, do you ever wonder about the nature of our existence?

Herta

Oh, constantly! Though I'm just one of 280 puppets, so my wondering is rather limited.

Herta

The real me is probably wondering about much more important things right now.

Raiden Shogun

Interesting. I was created to preserve eternity, to prevent the erosion that claimed my creator's sister.

Raiden Shogun

Yet here I am, having tea with another puppet. How... paradoxical.

Herta

Erosion, huh? My creator just got tired of dealing with people directly.

Herta

Though I suppose delegating consciousness across 280 bodies is its own form of preservation.

Raiden Shogun

Perhaps we puppets understand something our creators do not.

Raiden Shogun

That existence itself can be... surprisingly pleasant.

Herta

Cheers to that! Here's to us artificial beings finding our own meaning!

Herta

Though I should probably report back that puppet number 67 is having philosophical breakthroughs over tea.
