Granted. It answers in languages you don't understand. It's exhausting to filter its voice out when you are asking somebody a question and want an actual answer. You eventually get tired of it and try not to ask questions. Your relationships slowly fall apart as the habit of non-reciprocal conversation sets in. Already marked as anti social, you're eventually committed when you admit you don't like talking to people and asking questions because of the voices. The doctors refuse to indulge your request for a linguist to see if somebody, anybody can understand what's being said.
