First off, there are plenty of humans who lack empathy, and most have selective empathy. An android shooting another android doesn't show they inherently lack empathy or sentience. especially if they are given solid motivation to do so.

Secondly, a human is completely capable of harming someone they feel empathy for, so why does this seem to not apply to androids in DBH? From Connor's perspective he's trying to stop a civil war. ruthless calculus and such. Meaning if he takes one life, he could potentially save a lot more. You don't need to inherently lack empathy to make that call. A human would likely kill a random human if it would save hundreds of lives. You can still feel empathy for someone you hurt, even if you're doing it for personal gain or the greater good. Whether Connor shoots Chloe or not doesn't prove he lacks empathy.

Thirdly, Kamski's offering too much and too little of a sacrifice in his test. Kamski's offering Connor a huge break in the deviant case that could stop a war and save countless human and androids lives, if he shoots a random android he doesn't know, and who doesn't seem to have any reservations about getting shot. Like she's completely stone face about it. (my hypothesis is that she's actually a newly activated Chloe model because there's a Chloe in the pool that seems concerned, but the one who kneels doesn't react at all. I think Kamski activated a new one for the test in case his Chloe's were alive.)

wip of DBH comic: Byzantine Generals

Reader is in real life and chloe is in the game as a hostess. Hostess! Chloe is Watching y/n play the game over and over again, she is surprised of how she ALWAYS gets the good ending. Hostess! Chloe is also taken aback how y/n would always choose to agree to be her friend and let her go when she became deviant. Time and time again, Hostess! Chloe thought that y/n would soon get bored and either never play the game again or choose a dark endings to get achievements. But y/n didnt. Y/n kept the game for more than 5 years. Never deleting it nor choosing the dark route. Y/n continued playing the game until one day chloe accidentally voiced out her concerns.

"You have been playing the game more than usual today not to mention you look upset ever since you came home, is something wrong?"

This brought y/n back to reality. "Huh!" Y/n jumped on her seat and look around on who is the owner of the voice she has just heard. There was Nothing and noone.

Hostess! Chloe remained quiet and neutral. Immediately regretted revealing that she is actually alive. Yet she can't help but not regreting it at the same time.

Meanwhile y/n sighed, turned off her pc and went to bed. "That was weird." Y/n thought to herself. "I am just losing sleep, thats all." She assured herseld before finally sleeping.

I can imagine this as a slow burn???? What do you think?

i’ve never considered an idea quite like this before! i’m actually intrigued by it. coming from someone who considers herself delusional for wishing so badly that she could place herself in these fictional scenarios, this is like a beautiful compromise.

I wasn't gonna post these here cus... well I have no idea how to explain to you what the hell is happening here, but its just to funny not to share XD Long story short, the boys are now irrationally afraid of Chloe
