Changes

But the results didn't change. He remembers seeing Den City destroyed in a massive explosion as Playmaker protests there's absolutely no guarantee that the simulation will come true; it's just data (a guess of what might occur & data could sometimes be wrong). Ai replies that it's only data for Playmaker because he's a life form with a physical body, but Ai is data too, and a great simulation is like living a real life, and he lived that real future thousands of times (in the dub he emphasizes that he felt himself being deleted thousands and millions of times). He'd banished his screens in fury and brought up another simulation, showing fire erupting form the streets of the city, and he recalls that he tested various ways to change the future as a squadron of planes flew over a city and bombed it, and in another, dark clouds covered the [[Earth (planet)|Earth]]. But the results didn't change, and he fell to his hands and knees and sobbed as he recalled that nothing could be done unless he was erased from existence, screaming in agony (in the dub, he does not mention that ''he'' must die, but either all of humanity or all of A.I.). Playmaker protests that Ai has the power to change it; he's a special Igniscompared to the others, and therefore he ''can'' live together with humans. He begs him to find a way to backtrack from this, and Ai asks in amusement if Playmaker is trying to pull him back. He thanks Playmaker, but tells him that he's wrong and he doesn't understand. Ai explains that he learned while everyone was gone that losing friends means that your heart breaks, and his did, causing him to lose self-control (in the dub Ai continues to explain the inevitability of human and A.I. going to war). He recalls that [[Roboppi]] immediately started looking down on humans after he gained free will& dared to think he was better than Ai, recalling Roboppi's Duels with [[Emma Bessho|Ghost Gal]] and [[The Shepherd]] and later [[Theodore Hamilton|Soulburner]], and he notes that it's normal for A.I. to do if one thinks about it - and the Ignis weren't normal. They're truly far superior to humans in memory and calculations and can instantly figure out humanity's faults and contradictions, making it easy to become arrogant, something that is in the nature of an A.I. with free will. Therefore he can't technically blame Roboppi for having such thoughts during his final moments. Something also awakened within Ai; not evil thoughts, but he wonders, in order for him to live, why does he have to adapt to humans? He now feels differently to humans. Playmaker whispers Ai's name, and Ai reminds him that he said humans didn't want sudden changes. But Ai can no longer stop his own changes, and he's scared that he may turn into someone like Bohman or Lightning, so he wants to vanish before that happens. (In the dub Ai again claims to like existing, which is why he is trying to wipe out humanity, but admits that he regrets it given how good a team they made. He claims it's breaking his heart to do this.)
