I am doubtful the author is going to drop something macabre like that, as a passing statement, in a comic about a robot wondering if he's loved.
I mean they're already referencing that loving something means giving it what it needs to flourish despite personal beliefs.
That's kinda the same reference just with a positive spin attempting to informative
