Markus and the android community — the revolution building, the specific question of whether the androids' demand for freedom is genuine or programmed, whether their love for each other is real or simulated. The game's refusal to answer this is its most principled formal choice: it does not grant the androids confirmed inner lives that would resolve the philosophical question. It simply shows what they do with whatever they have. The love found anyway is the love that does not wait for philosophical validation, that acts as if it is real because acting as if it is real is the only available form it can take.
