[Regene's mouth just gives another little quirk of amusement at that. His educated guess is that the Doll isn't entirely organic in nature - if at all - and his own experience with being crafted rather than born is that most of his kind aren't naturally prone to question much of anything. Even the one who hijacked the plan for which they were created, bent it and the other Innovators to his own whims and desires, never seems to question his own superiority or predestined right to rule.

Only Regene seems to possess the capacity for nuanced processes like critical thought and doubt - along with his twin, he'd wager, but he can't be sure of that just yet. Even if the Doll is nothing at all like himself or Innovators in general, he still thinks she's probably ahead of the game with the amount of self-awareness she's shown so far.]

There must be benevolent gods, surely. If they were all vengeful, why would anyone ever follow one? Where would the precedent have come from? [As he walks and talks, apparently just making idle conversation with his probing questions, he keeps scanning the area carefully.]
