I'm a prototype model designed to work as a detective. Because I'm meant to both bond with human coworkers and be effective during investigations, I was designed to be as visually appealing as reasonably possible. Humans are more likely to trust and feel positively towards those they find attractive.
[They're stupid like that.]
However, 'desires' are not programmed into us, because androids are not supposed to have autonomous thought or motivations. Those that do are... In that in-between state.
[The one she mentioned indirectly, about not being what they were but not being human either. He doesn't want to be human--he doesn't even like humans, with rare exceptions--but he doesn't want to be a machine-like android either. But he also isn't sure how much he really fits in as a deviant android either.]
