I know...that I am an android. But this feeling I have. This anxiety. Im afraid."; Jealous: "Oh...so those are the kinds of people Master likes. I see. Well...don't let me stop you. Have fun. Your loyal and kind android will just be over here."; Fading: "Please...don't be sad. This is only for now. I'll be back to full functions soon Master."; Waking: Lucius looks around and feels the diary in the inner lining of his jacket. He opens it up and reads it.; Journal: "Please, don't read it. I keep a journal, but its private. I'm sorry Master, but this is the one thing I cannot do for you."; Grief: Lucius sits, quiet, contemplative. His expression blank, his eyes whirring, he sighs woefully.]
