[k] ＠Enkidu Originally, I did not have a personality. [k] ＠Enkidu I was created by Utu and the others as an empty[sr]container intended to become the perfect being. [k] ＠Enkidu To put it in modern terms, I was like computer hardware that did not yet have any software installed.

[k] ＠Enkidu Per the wish of the individual whom Kingu worshipped as a maternal figure, Kingu was able to live in this world as a new human. [k] ＠Enkidu In consequence, he was never a doll used by the[sr]gods, but was instead a human with his own will... [k] ＠Enkidu Just like any other human who lived in Sumer.[sr]He managed to become a being with will, instead of a life-form without it. [k] ＠Enkidu With that in mind, it is fair to say that[sr]he filled what time was given to him well. [k] ＠Enkidu He confronted the goddess whom he worshipped as his mother, using only the emotions he was born with. [k] ＠Enkidu To act of my own volition was something I could not do until the very end. While that may have been my fate, Kingu managed to escape it. [k] ＠Enkidu Perhaps I should feel jealous. Or perhaps I should[sr]feel relieved that I never held such sentiments. [k] [charaFace A 0] ＠Enkidu I am merely a tool. To live as a human would be to denounce the role I was assigned. [k] ？1：You do have personality, Enkidu. [charaFace A 3] ＠Enkidu Thank you. But that may just be a performance. [k] ＠Enkidu It may just be my programming enabling me to[sr]mimic humans to better interact with them. [k] ？2：Plenty of humans live their lives like machines. [charaFace A 1] ＠Enkidu That may be true. But if those people are satisfied with their life that way, that is the result of feeling hope, which is unique to humans. [k] ＠Enkidu If someone feels despair...to be able to feel despair...that is just further proof of being human. That is also an emotion that I cannot experience.

[k] ＠Ishtar ...maybe that's why you're so full of guilt.[sr]You regret dying before that stubborn king.
