I hope I should have the guts to betray my country."

A2: She told me she wanted you to...become a good person.

"I must be cruel, only to be kind: Thus bad begins and worse remains behind."
William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, Scene 4, l. 178. [Treat them mean, keep them keen.]

"O foenix culprit! Ex nickylow malo comes mickelmassed bonum... Breast high and bestride!"
James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, 1939. [Persius, Satire III, line 84: "Nothing reverts to nothing."]

A2 infers that to live forever, Popola & Devola had traded AI cores for Machine black boxes.

"You had every blessing Fate can give, but withal felt the tooth of her cruel jealousy.
For Fortune, too early ripe, gave you every gift and then snatched them away."
[Cuncta habuisti commoda fati, non sine morsu gravis invidiae : 
omnia praecox fortuna tibi dedit et rapuit... Nil est ab omni parte beatum.]
Ausonius, V. Commemoration poems, 6. Alethius Minervius [cohors: his band of youths].

Machines assaulted Pascal to destroy AI cores. A2 swaps YoRHa core with 4S for his AI core.
Whenever corrupted 9S tries seduction as on Op. 210 for his subversion, 4S commits suicide.
