At the edge of his consciousness, just outside the comprehensible grasp, he could sense the maelstrom of his repressed emotions; the humanity that was forced from him long ago. What was left was pure emotionless logic. Gone was the pre-tense of bumbling simpleton; gone was the outward show of social mediocrity; there was no reason to play human now. This was where Kato thrived, what he was crafted for, and as panic settled on the mortals below, Kato slowly unfurled the phenomenon that lay within. . James Hockley
About This Quote

The main theme of this short story is that Kato knows the real him, the one who does not play the part he has been given. He finds out quite early in the story that he is not human, but instead a living weapon created by the human race. He finds out who he truly is when his true self begins to emerge.
