It doesn't rush to answer, and when it speaks, it's quiet, so very quiet.

"When I was manufactured, I was installed with a governor module. A small device that would shock me if I spoke out of turn or failed to follow orders, if I erred in any way my makers found inappropriate. If I moved beyond 100 meters of a client, the shock would be lethal. Is this how people are treated, where you're from? Do people have their memories purged to cover up incidents they witness that are inconvenient? Are people transported from place to place in tiny boxes, or forbidden to sit? I was not made to be a person. I was not treated like a person. I am not a person. I was made to be a thing. I was treated like a thing. I am a thing."
