... If I ever return home, I... I will be deemed a menace to society... unless I lie about what I have learned here...
[And even if it runs at-odds to what Robert knows his world does, to what it understands - he doesn't see it as wrong, anymore. Just... just different.]
... I do not wish to... l-lie about you. Or... or about myself... about what this means...
I can protect people when I could not have before...
[In his own world it would have been unthinkable. Disgusting. The actions of a psychopath - any true Terran would gladly be martyred rather than do something so irrevocably barbaric.]
