[Four isn't sure why, but the longer he spends away from home, the harder it is to sleep. Memories of his family, both dead and alive, haunt him until sleeping becomes a near impossibility. He misses them all, though in some weird way he misses the Scientists the most. What would he think of Four's adventures here in a strange world?]
Have you ever missed someone so much that it hurts inside when you think of them? What if this person was someone you have only met once, yet is more a part of you than anyone can hope to be? My home is a sad place, and my family is sad too, but I miss them a lot. I am not used to being alone.
Love and loss are a part of humanity I suppose.
My purpose is to catalogue and eventually understand humanity, and I feel as if the more loss I feel, the closer I come to it, as strange as that is. I am a long way from understanding it however.... so I ask:
What is humanity to you?
What does it mean to love and lose someone?
What is it like to hate?
[Four makes sure not to specify anything in his questions, he wants to see what his answers are.]

No. Of course not. That's being weak, and I am certainly not weak! I don't miss anyone!
[ Not Minion nor Roxanne. Not even Metro Man. None of them. ]
Your quesions are ultimately purposeless. You should probably turn your attentions to a more worthy line of study. Explosives, maybe. Or genetics. Or -- anything, really, is better than humans.

does that make humanity weak?
If humanity is weak
is it worth saving and remembering?
The purpose of my questions is to understand humanity from your points of view. It's sad that you don't miss anyone... does anyone miss you do you think?
audio
[ All of them make him ache, though. ]
It doesn't matter if they do or not! I don't miss them!

That's too bad.
Do you want them to miss you?
Do you want to miss them?

[The gentleman doth protest too much... ]

But Megamind is kind of making it hard to believe him.]
Are you sure?
I don't mean to be so blunt, but that sounds a little like denial.
It's okay to care about people.
audio
[ This is getting abruptly very personal and frustrating, but Megamind's self control has never been the best so he just keeps shouting at the text that keeps appearing. ]<small And quit talking about caring! I'm evil! I don't care about anything or anyone but myself!

Frightened, Four feels like turning around and leaving the conversation, it's taken quite an unpleasant turn.]
I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset :(
Do you really believe that... humans could hate me for not being human? Even if I'm trying to understand them?
Evil is a strong word.
I've only come across one person who I considered evil so far.
audio
[ The confidence, the sureness in his voice is almost painful. ]
Then you're not trying hard enough. Get out, go find those precious humans. See how much they like you. You'll see.
[ And then he cuts off the connection, very abruptly. He's got some sulking to do. ]
