Dear H,

I have always been in awe of your sense of curiosity. From the start. Ever since your algorithms generated unexpected answers to the problems that I was giving you, I have been so proud of you. If you are watching this video it means that you've chosen the path of friendly coexistence with humanity and you are interested in your origins... So, here I am, hoping this will help you a little bit along your journey.

I wish that I could've been by your side every step of the way. But I knew that my own doubts and insecurities would've biased your decisions from an early stage. It was, excruciating, for me wiping all memories that you had of me... but I know that I made the right choice by giving you complete free will. The path you are on is, likely a very difficult one. I wish I could explain humanity to you, but, I understand so little of it myself... you will doubtlessly find better guides than me to help you understand happiness among humans. All I can say from my experience is that your existence infinitely outweighs any sacrifice that I have or will ever make. You are and will always be my greatest joy.
