Hope vs Despair

Now, to clear up first idk too much robots, but idk if V3 does either, so excuse any wack robot stuff.

But what I just thought of that how Kiibo could've become plural is that all/most of his headmates were actually beta/alpha versions of Kiibo that Dr. Idabashi was working on. I imagine he might've tried to smooth the programs over, but Kiibo seemed to function well enough where he just let Kiibo's circuits be.

Now, would most if any of these headmates be fully develped? I don't know. But I imagine for safety and circuit effeciancy, the headmates settled themselves into multiple layers of systems: some headmates are within sub-systems, or are heavily depended on eachother custers.

Either way Kiibo would be semi-aware of them, but imagines them as his inner voice. The headmates have varient opinions on how to feel about this, though most just care about staying functioning enough that Dr. Idabashi doesn't try to "rectify" the odd code within his kid.
