[A LETTER is eventually delivered to 9S!! Thanks buddy.]
Nines,
Thanks for all of the help, and for taking such good care of Bennett and Bianca and the other kids. They're pretty fond of you, you know? When they come back into town, make sure to visit them a lot, alright? I've tried to make it so things won't be quite as difficult for them, but I don't know how well it will work.
Even though you're Mori, I think you should talk to Xie Lian's people once you get the chance, too. We need more in support of unity on both ends. He wants to work for it, and I think you can help. Chuuya listens to you, right? Try to get him to listen to this. It's important. Unity and peace are the most important things if we want every child in this city to grow up safe and not too fast.
That's my hope for the future here, anyway. I hope you can all see it come to fruition, too.
But maybe remember to get that concussion looked at, when you can.
[ With all the information that's come to light practically overnight, 9S is grateful for the letter, really. It's light on explanations -- slightly frustrating for an information-hungry android -- but it's reassuring to read a letter from Wei Wuxian that still sounds like him and not a deranged killer-on-the-loose as he might be painted in a more lawful society.
Not for the first time, and almost certainly not for the last, 9S is troubled by the value of human life. His programming cries for objective quantification; it insists that all humans have equal potential, and that he should guard them all with utmost reverence. Yet here now is a man accused of killing many. A stubborn, willful human who likely regrets none of his actions, who could very well kill again, and whom 9S happens to like and admire.
Maybe it's better that Wei Wuxian was able to make his escape, then. It spares 9S from having to consider the merits of killing him, or through inaction allowing others to be killed. It's too big a conundrum for one lone android to contemplate. He carefully tucks the letter away, and wonders if he'll see Wei Wuxian again soon. ]
