It's funny, isn't it. People bestow that word on anything they find admirable or relatable, but they rescind it the second anything becomes unexpected, and suddenly that thing is completely debased.

You're right. Good qualities are not inherently human. Sometimes I feel it's quite the opposite, and humans strive against their nature to be something they are not.

... Possibly, yeah. Well, maybe not "humanity," as what's intrinsic to people, but perhaps the idea of "humanity" that people have made for themselves.

But it's definitely not universal. Most ghouls I've met want nothing to do with the concept. I'm not sure if contractors feel the same.
