He still can't bring himself to put the likes of him on the same level of humanity, regardless of how he feels about his programming lately. Yet people still try, despite all the protesting he's already done; this is hardly a new scenario for him. It doesn't make any more sense why everyone wants to think he's more human than he actually is, though.
Unlike 2B, 9S doesn't quite argue it. Not now, when they're already leaving from a mess of butting heads. Instead, he lets the words settle before eventually responding. ]
People I knew well back where I'm from called me Nines. [ It's... still a number, technically, but also very much a nickname. ] You can call me that, if you want.
