[Even though... he isn't sure how he'll feel talking about Hank after all this time. At this point, he's known everyone in this competition for longer than he knew his partner.]
Is there anything in particular you want to know about him?
[In the end, isn't that what being human is about? Making choices? Whatever Connor means by that statement, though, he glances away when her expression shifts to concern.]
I'm from Rochester, New York. You mentioned Detroit earlier, so unless our worlds have really different versions of the United States, we're only a few states apart. Well, and a lot of years. You know.
[She shrugs.]
It's a pretty normal city, I think. It's 2016 where I come from, if that gives you an idea of the technology and society of that time.

At least then you’d be able to run.
no subject
I belong to CyberLife. I won't run like I'm some deviant.

And if you're going to say you shouldn't be, that isn't true.

[Raking a hand through her hair, she sighs, pausing.]
Sorry. I know we're not going to agree on this any time soon.
no subject
... We can agree to disagree. And it's as I've said. This is a topic where you lack the necessary context to form an opinion.
no subject
Would you tell me more about him? Hank.

[She pauses, then shakes her head.]
We don't have to. I just thought it would be nice for you.
no subject
[...]
... He's gone for good. Why would it be nice?
no subject
I didn't realize that he... [...] I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned it.

You couldn't have known.
no subject
Your turn to pick something to talk about, then.
[Since her topic led them here.]
no subject
It takes him a moment, as well. But after a beat:]
Tell me about your world. I feel as if I know too little about where you hail from.
no subject
[She shrugs.]

no subject
[It's still a little boggling to think of worlds that are decades apart from his own. The difference between their technology is jarring.]
I... recall what you told me about your brother, Connor. [The other Connor.] But what kind of life did you lead? Were you happy?
no subject
[A small pause.]
Family stuff is... a little more complicated, especially now, but you know.
no subject
Would you like to tell me about your hobbies?
[It. Seems like a safe topic?? One that maybe won't make them spiral down another black hole of horrors. Probably.]
no subject
I play guitar. Are you programmed to like music, or...?
