Isolde then asked Alan the reason for his actions. Alan told her everything, not holding anything back.
Listening intently, Isolde put her palm on Alan's face and looked deeply into his eyes.
"Alan, tell me what you want. I don't believe a selfless human exists."
"What do you desire? A new home? A billion credits? What is your wish?"
"Me as your wife? The presidency of the ethernet? Tell me, and I will give it to you."
She asked these questions because she found it hard to accept that someone like Alan could exist in Bastion, a place where everyone prioritized their selfish desires.
Even his reason for not kidnapping her was out of concern for her happiness.
She even went as far as to turn off her implant, making sure they were alone, but he still just grinned foolishly, thinking about her.
Isolde couldn't understand why, and seeing Alan live like this made her feel both happy and sad. She feel like someone stab her heart.
