I guess just 'cause they were the only ones who wanted me, before.
[But what Jimmy says next makes Wrath's brows furrow deeply, and he looks a little troubled.]
[It's... it's not wrong... he'd always been a little different from the other Homunculi, on account of being younger and more inexperienced. Sloth was the only one of them who didn't treat him as a chore to be looked after (well, Gluttony didn't, but Gluttony didn't particularly seem to care one way or another about Wrath, which hadn't mattered to the new recruit one way or another. Gluttony had important Gluttony things to be doing, like eating stuff and following Lust around), and as much as he'd wanted to fit in, in hindsight he supposes he never really had.]
[But at the same time... it was someone else who had first pushed him away for being different.]
[Wrath's voice is small when he finally finishes his little mental workout there and speaks up again.]
... Well... all of us were different... but some of them turned on our Master and said that I should too, and-- I don't know.
It happened real fast.
But I'm a good boy. I would never betray my Master.
[He says it emphatically, but there's a certain robotic tone to the words as well. The mindset had been hammered into him by the very people who had later turned and, at least in Wrath's mind, bitten the hand that fed them.]
[It's confusing and the world is very big and nothing is like it seemed before and apparently wheat is poisonous and turns people into snakes. Wrath's grasp on the world is pretty shaky at this point.]
