I think by now it should be clear that Kentaro is not interested in romance. He does have something on his mind, and it has him pretty distraught…

Kentaro: He used to drill me about radiation exposure. Almost gave me a phobia about it.
Girii: Um, okay.
Kentaro: Thing is, I can't tell if it's a phobia...or a subconscious directive. Don't peer too long into the void, that sort of thing. Was he trying to protect me, or was he the void?
Girii: Kentaro...
Kentaro: What I'm trying to say is that this is hard for me. Please, stay back. Just stand there...
Girii: Um, okay.

Actually, he’s afraid that he might have something on his mind.
No, no, it’s romance. He wants her to see into his heart. <3 😉
It’s nice to see him open up to her like that. She can already see into his head, yet he still wants to be as transparent as possible.
Do machines have an “Ego”, that “clinging” thing
that even corporations have…
The Buddha taught that the root cause of our suffering—ignorance—is what gives rise to this tendency to “cling.”(the ego)
“What am I clinging to?” is the question you should ask yourself.
Or:
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
He’s afraid he may not HAVE a mind. :3
Kentaro, congratulations on being able to ask the question. Too many people cannot question their own existence.
Bunny slippers… or DEVIL Bunny slippers?
