Dr. Yanagi, had to find a way to fulfill his destiny, as he called it. He needed to find a way to claim the parts for his masterpiece. However, his lack of the body construction would be a big burden to his project. There is only one way to achieve such a thing. And this is stealing from another colleague of his. This act is against his ethics, however the person that owns most of the components is his colleague and opponent Dr. Asahi.
Yanagi tried multiple times to convince Asahi to support his work, but he always had in his mind that it's a trap and a way the Yanagi wanted to eliminate his work. Yanagi was that desperate that he report to his employer about his new plan. Bad news spoke by the employer's mouth, saying that he needed the acquiescence of both parties. Yanagi's brain was dried out and could figure out a plan to continue legally.
Then, the idea to steal the parts from Asahi hit his mind. The dilemma was trouble for his thoughts, it was the only way to achieve his dream. The only way. Nothing else could help him. He didn't have the knowledge to create the parts. Also, even if he had the knowledge, he didn't have the machines and the tools to create them. That's why he ended up, to this ultimate solution.
The good and bad was fighting inside him. The breaking in the laboratory of Asahi was the only solution. On the other hand, he could be punished hardly by the employer about his act. Not only that, but he would never recover from his self after committing such a crime. He is not only violates the law but also the work ethics of his colleague. No-one would trust him after that. Will he take the risk, or he will let his masterpiece die by the course of time?
Yanagi was in a deadlock. Everything, that could think ends in the same direction. Everything is unsuitable for his situation. The only way is to violate the work ethic but also his. He knew that if he does commit his plan, it would have him targeted by everyone. In addition, all his colleague would assume that he can steal from them, as well and all his enemies will exploit the situation for their own good.
This situation turned to be a life or death decision. Indeed, if he does it, he will lose his dignity and pride for his work and he will regret that he acted this way, but if he doesn't do it he will see his project die and also himself with it. The regression is in both side, the only question is which one will hurt him the most. Act and receive the consequences or stay away from it and regret it.
Yanagi stress and anxiety hit the fan. He is even avoiding speaking or be in the same room with Asahi, because he is feeling guilty about the thoughts he made for his colleague work. He can't tolerate his thoughts and feelings anymore and end up having a small panic attack that will put his mind into the line.
During his panic attack, the only thing that he was thinking was the sled proud that will receive after finishing his project. He didn't even think about the consequences only his self-satisfaction. Some could easily describe it as selfishness but others as ambition.
By the time he woke up from his panic attack, he completely ignored his tiredness and finally decided how he will move from so on. Well, he didn't decide, he already knew. He overcame his hesitation and finally concluded. He will do it and nobody will stop him. Furthermore, he knew the consequences and he is now willing to risk everything to create the first human thinking robot. The perfect sample that will change the whole history of humanity. The perfect human being.
