Thanks for your honesty, you have no idea how refreshing it is ^ ^

"If he was just a shard mimicing humans than I would trust him far more."

Truth be told, that's exactly what he is. His humanity was gained through merging/absorption, so you could say he's "playing" human rather than being one. Except this humanity is the first thing he has ever known, his founding identity, so while gained differently it is as genuine as that of ordinary humans, who themselves inherited it via genetics.

The core difference between him and said humans personality-wise is his natural Mindshifting abilities, his mind being just as flexible as his body (and the two being indissociable in practice). This grants him complete self-control in the most literal sense, allowing him to experience the full emotional spectrum while maintaining perfect clarity of judgement and self-mastery. So there is no risk of him falling prey to the dark side of human nature, as said humanity was mastered the moment he gained it.

This aspect of him notably plays a key logistical role in his world, since the miraculous all-purpose Selforge Technology is essentially based on self-engineering, Lawrence programming sub-applications of his own self with specific functions, that later operate independantly on a subconscious level, his complete self-control and unlimited mental capacity allowing all systems to operate around the clock with perfect adaptive efficiency.

I'm affraid every social decision in life is more or less a bargain, we only ever enter a relation because we find the conditions satisfying, and exit it when they no longer are (or at least we should if we know what's good for us ^ ^;). It is no wonder virtually everyone seek an attractive, caring and reliable partner rather than the reverse : we naturally have expectations, and we are naturally drawn to those who best live up to them.

And since Lawrence has pretty much everything going for him on an enormous magnitude, it is here again no wonder the answers come out positive. Of course, anyone would rather hog the best prize to themselves, but let's be honest : who could reasonably consider themselves worthy of such an exclusivity ? Isn't that just over-inflated pride, greed and selfishness ?

All the more since there's literaly enough of him to go around, his natural abilities allowing him to exist in many places at once and offer unlimited individual attention, thus properly treasure each and every of them like they were the only one. In these conditions, it is exclusivity itself that become strikingly unreasonable, so it is only natural for a different standard to emerge.
