Even if the body language is different from humanoids, there's clear amusement in Julien's reaction. 9S doesn't realise he's bristling, feathers fluffing as he does so.
But what Julien's saying quickly distracts 9S from his annoyance. He doesn't know what it's like to dream. Dreams are something that humans experience when they sleep. But androids don't have any awareness of anything while they're in sleep mode or shut down. It's just... nothing. Emptiness. A great void.
He doesn't understand.
Is that what separates the biological from the mechanical? The feeling of connection to something larger than themselves? He's never felt anything like that. From the moment of his birth, he felt alone. The rift between himself and his creators has never seemed so big before. But what Julien is saying... Are biological beings also networked? But can only carry the memories of those who passed before them?
9S shakes his head, the clucks that come from his beak sounding oddly subdued.
