                                 To say that he wanted to be human would be a lie.

                 He did not want to be human so much as he wanted to prove his humanity --- that was to say, that he was emotionally and philosophically just as capable as any of his classmates. As much as the others tossed their robophobic comments his way about him being heartless or poking fun at his anatomy, it was actually Korekiyo’s attention ( or rather, Korekiyo’s lack of attention ) that stung him the most. The Ultimate Anthropologist... His apathy spoke volumes to how the rest of the group saw him. K1-B0 was determined to give him a piece of his motherboard when it came to how he ought to open his mind to other intelligent beings, but there was something far more pressing that had been grating on him that only he could answer.

                 That was the ONLY reason K1-B0 wasn’t leaping to calling him out on his robophobia straightaway. Instead he strode straight up to him in the dining hall, hooking a metallic finger around the steel of his collar. The bright green code whirring by on the circular LCD screen ringing the raised neck of his clothing-imitating chassis started beeping out a new stress test measure --- proof of his anxiety and discomfort, to anyone who could recognize the programming language.

                 "I’ve been studying literature for quite some time now, and I have something pertaining to them that I’ve been meaning to ask you!! This is primarily about the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep... There are certain ethical quandaries posited in the book that make me incredibly uncomfortable.

I’m certainly not that human-like... So I just...!!

                 Do --- do you think... Do you think that a robot can have a soul??”

                  "Excuse me, comrade!! You’re Korekiyo, correct??”

                  Three knocks exactly, rapped back to back to back against the flat surface of the Ultimate Anthropologist’s dorm room door before the prefect stepped back and stood rigid in his typical at-attention pose to await a response. So many of their fellow students were busybodies bustling around all over the place, to the point that their schedules were a bit difficult to keep track of, but Korekiyo... For an anthropologist, any time not spent in the labs or out working an excavation site would naturally be spent within the confines of his bedroom, right? Ishimaru had to wonder what the inside of his room would look like, with whatever international baubles and historic tomes he might have amassed and compiled in his collection. Not that he’d come to gawk at his fellow classmate’s things, of course, but while he happened to be there it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world... No, he was there for...
