@Talon13184 Fiction can’t really get any emotional reactions out of me (physically, at least), but that double page spread of Elmira and Molau gave me a heavy feeling in my chest. Even on rereads, it’s just so painful and depressing.
“I think it went deeper than that. I think she was genuinely in love with Molau and was following his orders completely by choice.”
I have to disagree with this.
Firstly, this would be impossible. What I mean is that if ‘that’ were the case, it’d fall under “fantasy”(and not “Sci-Fi”), because there’s no way a machine can act against it’s programming. If it’s not programmed to feel or do something, then it’s impossible to act opposite of those programs. This is proven by the actions/attitude of Alma, Elmira, Elmira going on about how that’s what her master designed her for, Elmira’s confirmation that she has to do what her master told her to do, the sexxaroids, Mama’s speech about androids and her comment on Alma’s performance, Alma’s comment on how the sexxaroids are conditioned to respond the way they think the customer wants them to respond.
Back in the first arc, when Alma returns for Minami, she didn’t do so because she “felt”, but because she found a loophole in Minami’s order. Despite this, there’s undeniably something special about Alma. I wouldn’t say the same is the case with Elmira.
Secondly, it’d go against the theme and debate of what humans and androids are. There are similarities between the two, as Akira mentioned (people that follow orders). The best example of this, are soldiers. They have their orders. However, they are free to make their own judgments/decisions. Androids don’t have the freedom, this “luxury” of choosing, but ONLY following their programming.
Besides, you yourself said that that’s how HUMANS act (“This isn't too uncommon in human nature. People often become fixated on their spouse or whomever, to the point of doing things they normally wouldn't do in the name of their love for that person”). The same can’t apply to a machine with strict, severe limitations to it’s comprehension, responses, deduction, physical and emotional feelings, etc.
