the story lays everything squarely at his feet.

Excuse me for thinking that devastating magnitude of time would have anything actually to do with the narrative.

(for Kinger too, for that matter)

It really does seem as if the writing doesn’t even factor that into assigning the fault or faults here. (As in, “fault” meaning “blame” and “fault” meaning personality failures.)

What you MEANT to write was a stubborn, egoistic man.

What you got across was a desperate and lonely outsider who didn’t know to simply directly express his love, which the humans could’ve taught him, one who didn’t know how to deal with the (trauma?) driving his actions, one who nobody ever bothered to, even at a surface level, get to know.

One whose creator didn’t take the slightest. slightest. slightest. SLIGHTEST interest in guiding or explaining ANYTHING to him.

And the way you resolved this overall fascinating disconnect that you so carefully constructed? Accidental death.

Not communication.

Not any of the “hey we should reach out to people no matter what” that was central and standard for the non-AI beings.

Two decades of loneliness.

You basically blamed him for having a mental breakdown about this.

Worse, you made him, from his perspective, accept a “double sentencing” of death.

Over things that JAX DID TOO

Two decades of loneliness.
