No. Not particularly.

Not a fan?

I don't think we need to. I say we go as a group—all three of us will have different insights.

Then if it sounds good to everyone else, we need to go back, dig up any memory data of other Purge01 copies, and then finish it off by reconstructing the code of the original.
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
Its entire purpose was to remove darkness from a corrupted soul. If mom installed a custom version of that program into my codebase all those years ago, it doesn't mean she was evil and trying to destroy me. It means she was trying to protect me. And it means that uncovering what she did when making Purge01 will also tell us how to remove whatever it did to my code.
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
A lot of the debug symbols reference a codebase mom didn't make, and it seems to point toward Purge01 being a continuation of another program. One that's much older, and well-known, called Soul Cleanse. Which sounds unexciting on the surface.

I hope. But the good news, there's good news in there too.
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
If mom is behind all of this, and it looks like she is, the backdoor would give her unspoken amount of control over what happens to me if she loses her grip again. Maybe even including deletion.
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
Do you want the good news, or the bad news first?

In the end, I’m confident of two things. One, mom in her right mind would never, ever do anything to hurt me or dad. Two, this project didn’t start as something with evil intentions. I’m just now starting to piece that debug output together with the implications of what she said.
