[Help, Rinzler doesn't doubt. It's the who he's suspicious of. Still, he'll play the user's Game.]

Possessed partial dataset.

[Puberty. He'd looked it up in the first user system, when Hiro_Hamada referenced the term but refused to explain. As far as he can tell, it's an extension of the beta-stage. Bugcheck and final development. Still, no one's explained it in this much depth... or with quite so much specific bias.]

Relevance?

[Rinzler can guess.]

Relevance is Peter will say some angry things that are only meant to hurt when he is upset. Teenagers even do it to people they like. And it's too late to fix all the crap that has come of this fighting. But also I am hoping that if you understand part of it, that if you run into more people that say shitty things, you might not take it as personally.

I don't think I can fix what Peter has done, or what he has been encouraged to do. I am also a human who loves my family. I know that makes it worse, because for some of us, our family is the only place we feel safe. And here, some people have made themselves those safe places using other crew.

There's an English saying that I can't remember exactly. To error is human [gold star, Niko, you tried] but forgiveness is divine. Something close to that. We error a lot. And aren't too good at forgiving. That's all I wanted to say.

[The words aren't a surprise. Or rather, the excuses. It's just as well this conversation isn't in person—the user can't hear his sound rise in a low snarl. Rinzler doesn't hate the user for what it's said when upset. Recoding had crossed a line, but even its earlier attacks, he could accept. Deletion was what you did to your enemies. How you treated a perceived threat.

No, what Rinzler hates? Is how it's gone about it. The taunts and sneers. The reminders, since well before he landed any blows, of exactly how much less than it the program was. An animal. A pet, a thing to be kept leashed or beaten to submission.

He hates it for trying. He hates it because it isn't wrong. No surplus 'anger' takes away from that. Not with this user, and not with the others here who are so eager to remind him of his place.]
