"[If there was an alternative, I would've found it.]" César states firmly. "[She had almost succeeded destroying the world multiple times. Her original programming should have helped her be kind, but she took the path of destroying all life instead. I had an innocent sounding reboot command already in her that wiped her out in an instant, without pain. It was all I could do.]"

César swallows. "[She is. Against me alone. Vika... felt it justified. I don't.]"

He knew Magne had a tough life, but... no, actually he can see her killing when she deemed it necessary.
