Lovely Slaughter incorrect quotes.

3

Taeko was bullied for being a robot, and others said it wasn't a talent and he didn't actually have one. And that's why he started saying he was a soldier instead.  He also refused help during the bullying from anyone, and made Shin stay quiet about it.  He spent his time studying Nakajima's army to become a soldier.  Eventually he started actually wanting to be one.
