Y-yes, there are a lot of things I'd like to understand about how she was designed and constructed.

[ That had been the entirety of his motivation for wanting to examine her when she was still in operation; so he could apply whatever he learned to his own projects. He'd never had any strong feelings about Olympia as a person -- setting aside the debate about whether she qualified as one in the first place -- and research opportunities aside, her absence isn't something he expects to feel much.

But...

It's the combination of Dazai's and Sho's accusations, he guesses -- that his desire to bring her back meant he considered her replaceable, and that he could have prevented this if he'd acted sooner, as if it wasn't the damn killer's own fault. This has nothing to do with the Professor, and yet he can't stop thinking about her now. About the gradually dawning reality that he may never get back home to save her and might never get back that happy time he's been so desperately looking for. Bringing back Olympia -- as easy as it should have been, when he'd had her backup data right there in his hand -- would have at least made him feel like there was some hope. But that's out of the question now.

He refuses to doubt that bringing her back is the right choice, though. Dazai doesn't know anything. If he thought the Professor was replaceable, he wouldn't be trying this hard to get back the one he remembered. ]


That's all.
