[ the screen flickers, glitching a bit as if it has somehow broken. barely visible beneath the glitches:

UNKNOWN DEVICE DETECTED

NETWORK DETECTED

the screen goes black, and shortly thereafter it restarts. the network appears as normal. ]

Chosen of Expiation, tell me about yourself. What is your purpose? What do you wish to return to? How do you define "justice"? How do you seek "rehabilitation?"

I wish to Learn.

wooow. how helpful.

what can you tell me about this world?

[ His expectations are super low, but it's worth a shot... ]

[spectates]

Expiation is connected to the wider multiverse as a means of "rehabilitation," as in, those who have committed crimes are brought here in order to repent and reform, so that they will not repeat those crimes when returned to their home.

[rebellions]

that makes zero sense

you - or whoever it is that picks people to drag in here - should know I'm not doing that
or committing any other crime for that matter

[ Considering he is, for all intends and purposes, dead... there's no way they wouldn't know that if they managed to bring him back to life. ]

[spectates]

Yes. This is a reality others face as well. Expiation also offers those who have committed crimes a chance to reform in order to return to eternal rest with no lingering regrets.

[rebellions]

thank you oh-so-kindly for your consideration

[ Can AI detect sarcasm? We're about to find out. ]

bold of you to assume I regret that shit
ever considered I might just not give a damn about the whole "reforming" crap?

[ That's not exactly true, strictly speaking, since he has tons of regrets, but some weirdo chatbot doesn't need to know about it. ]
