Whoa, Jr. was an old man. Not that Zouichi wasn't fairly old, by certain measures. "And there's no one here that could help you control it, either?" Unfortunate.
Zouichi shook his head. "I was raised from childhood like any human, albeit in a simulated environment. I wasn't told exactly what I was or what I was supposed to be doing until I was older. And actual combat was something I didn't experience until I was released. From that point on, however, it was almost all I did."
He shrugged. "Maybe. Where I'm from, everyone was familiar with what I was and what I could do." It wasn't possible to remain anonymous and still obtain the kind of security clearance Zouichi had required for navigating cities under lockdown. All of them had been registered and none of them had been allowed to keep their identities a secret. "So I never really saw any point in trying to hide it, even when I came here. I'm not ashamed of what I am."
