Letting on that he now knows far more about her past than she does ..... might not be the best of moves....

Vinny's anger makes an unfortunate amount of sense. He and Saya are both artificial life but worlds apart in how/why they were created. While some of that anger is likely based in jealousy I get the impression he is more angry for Saya than at her. He has seen more of the horror their dying world holds than she has and the idea that you would send someone you claim to love into it understandably infuriates him.

hold on. Does that mean Vincent is capable of lying? Or was Vincent just being in denial about if he wanted to help her?

I think because he was given free will, he has the capacity to lie.

Sorry for the long wait, and hope you enjoyed. Brand new typesetter for this chapter, things shouldn't have changed much but hope you like the new style.
Also, i think I noticed a typo.
Was this intended to be either "An android shouldn't tell lies."/"An android shouldn't tell a lie."?

Anyways thank you for the chapter!

Moral is said to be a construct of human thought... some people use that argument to say that in the end morals are arbitrary and by itself a lie... this is a lie.

It is egomania trying to discard individual consideration to take control of others.

Yes... morals are a construct, itself a form of rationalization of behavior, and can be calcified into something inflexible and opressing... that is why we always need to temper things with the true pillar that allows higher thought... empathy.
It's an interesting question. I'm of the thought that morals have value specifically because they are a human construct, and that it makes them inherently superior to anything natural because it can make the choice to change the world around it. Likewise I think the entirety of space has no value compared to humanity because it is empty and passive.

Agreed.

I do think the same, I do think too that we should take care to not fall into the pit of "moral superiority", but it isn't like that pit is made of true morals, just corrupt(ed) ideals masquerading as morals used by asshole to justify their actions.

One of the most basic tactics of those who want to stomp on others is to take ideals that are good and warp them for their own convenience, but we should never let those ideals be permanently taken hostage.

Likewise I think the entirety of space has no value compared to humanity because it is empty and passive.
Sorry, but could you elaborate on this, because I didn't understand exactly what you mean.

It's primarily a response to the idea of "cosmic insignificance" due to the scale of the universe. I think that since space isn't doing anything anywhere (until we discover actual proof of aliens, its all empty) it has no significance compared to life here on earth.

After 35 chapters of mystery this was a cheap excuse for a massive lore dump if you ask me..

Also, how did he know about Nani? I thought he couldnt actually see the memories?

One thing i see used a lot in stories with the confrontation about arrogance and selfishness of humanity is how it treats those things as inherently bad, and... it isn't so simple.
I will say Vincent is clearly presented as flawed with his own biases. His dialogue shouldn't be taken as a one-sided, infallible berating of humanity.

Regardless of his words, Towa is literally and figuratively shown in a light & hopeful way.
