Maybe, but...the feeling an android gets out of combat is supposed to be modeled after love. We're built to get a certain fulfillment out of it, know what I mean?

[For soldiers fighting an endless war, it makes sense to 9S, just as it made sense to Jackass when she'd gathered enough data on the topic. Such a design ensured that combat rewarded them in some way.

9S can't say it feels exactly like love does. A fight certainly is satisfying in its own way, but his experience with love is complicated]

But it'd be nice to relax, or well, not have to worry about the enemy cropping up pretty much anywhere.
