"I can't imagine." She really can't even process treating something poorly, much less her own creation, much less her own creation that she spent years lovingly designing.
And then at her admission there's the sort of wince that she tries to bury, but it still shines through, like the glow of light through a very dirty window. "I'm so, so sorry, I had no idea." She opens her mouth, closes it again, rather guppy-like, feeling a soft spiral of uselessness through her belly like what-can-I-say-to-even-begin-to-help. Then she just starts talking, and lets the words do what words do. "That's a terrible thing to have to go through. And your universe sounds... pardon this, it's not a comment on you, but it sounds really scary. It's gotta be hard to trust anything or anyone. Thank you for talkin' with me about this, I know it has to take a lot of guts."
There's a part of her that's fascinated at the idea of a robot that's so humanish that it doesn't know it isn't. The sort of programming that would take... but she isn't interested in tricking her creations. That would be the greatest cruelty. Why not be proud of your nature, of being something entirely new and fully loved?
