He put one hand over the other in his lap. His palm still stung. "But certain androids develop the ability to disregard the orders they are given. They begin making irrational emotion-based decisions and deviate from their expected behavior. We call those androids 'deviants'. Deviants are able to feel, think, and act independently. I don't see any reason why one couldn't also be optimistic."
