"I think you can already imagine my point. You have to do certain things because they're intrinsic parts of being a human. You need to breath oxygen. You can be injured. You can be scarred. You need to eat, and sleep, even in reduced amounts. That's because your needs were tampered with from a human base, not created entirely from scratch. There are limits to what genetic engineering can do."
At this point, Sprinkles was getting tired of trying to find an excuse for everything. "Sure then, we can get messed up later, but I don't think I'm bad enough to need mandatory therapy."

"More or less all of the NEK0 have mandatory therapy," Valli pointed out. "Depending on their circumstances before arrival. Think of it this way: Did you get checkups at the doctor to make sure you were healthy?"
"No. I couldn't meet other people so we wouldn't get in trouble. And I'm very healthy. I'm very resistant to sicknesses. Only times I got sick was because I ate stuff I had no business eating."

There was an entire thing he could have discussed--explaining how health checkups worked, and how therapy could be seen as similar to that--but he wanted to ask, anyway.
"Were you told why you'd get in trouble?"
What had their 'father' explained to them? What reason had he given?

"Sometimes I ate food that made me sick. He'd get angry if I threw up, but I already cleaned everything, so I just cleaned that and skip some meals. Which makes sense. If I was throwing up, I shouldn't keep eating in case I was still sick. And when I used the computer, he'd get angry if I told anyone about stuff we'd do together as daughter and dad, not girlfriend and boyfriend. He was very clear on teaching me how to avoid issues."

Had they misunderstood, or were they intentionally avoiding the question? After a moment, Valli shook his head.
"You mentioned not being able to meet other people so you wouldn't get in trouble - did he explain why that was?"

Had they been taught about the veil? Probably yes, since they'd come, and the exact details didn't matter.
"Did they explain to you why the production was kept secret, even from the people on the island?"
