I know the kid had no business trying to peek at my personnel file, but I get why a true believer like Yongki would have a hard time trusting his former enemies.

Maybe I understand his paranoia a little too well... I'm no patriot, but it is hard to let go of all the wartime propaganda about transhumans wanting to make us into hosts for some invasive hivemind.

I wanted to prove Yongki wrong, but when I brought up my own file, I got stuck on the part where it summed up my postwar activities.

Pretty much everything it said I did just before joining Genesis felt wrong.

Then I realized that my own service record didn't sit right with me.

I don't like the implications of that.
