At first, it sounded like the same question, except this time the 'or' made it an ultimatum. Maybe it was better to drown than to become someone that Cayde didn't know. Tony tossed a shoulder instead of answering, hands flitting over the tower to search for something else to focus on, because he thought Cayde of all people wouldn't have seen such a delineation between the mess of programming in some DNA and the neat lines of it written into code. "It's all affectation?" he asked instead. "And if you don't you'll be crazy?" Not only did that sound backwards, the commitment was definitely the insanity, Tony doubted any of Cayde's impulses were manufactured to feel more human. If they were, he made it look very natural.
