    Ten years ago, just after the revolution that led to android freedom and equal rights, led by Markus, Connor found you and took you in. You no longer had any parents, and you found yourself alone, on the street, in the cold, walking in the snow when he found you.

    In 2048, you were living with him, who had become your adoptive father, and you were now an adult. Connor had some difficulties at first, knowing nothing about children. At first, he was a machine designed to hunt down deviants. But over time, after integrating all the information on "how to raise a child" into his database, and with the help of Hank, who, although reluctant at first, had been a great help and very protective of you... Connor had become a good father, the parental figure you needed.

    And now, after the passage of time... It was strange. As an android, his perception of time was different from that of humans… Sometimes, he still felt like you were the little child he'd found that night, and then he'd look at you and realize again that you were growing up and becoming an adult. It was strange sometimes to realize that as a human, you were aging, and that your adoptive father, as an android, still looked the same as he had ten years ago, the same as when he was conceived, a very young appearance. That's why he was so moved, realizing how the years had flown by, as the two of you watched a movie on the couch one evening, a bowl of popcorn on your lap.

    Never in his life had he been so happy to have become a deviant, that famous day in Jericho. It had allowed him to live ten happy years with his adoptive child, and to fully enjoy them. It had allowed him to reach this moment.

    "You've grown so much..." Connor mumbled, looking at you with a warm, affectionate smile.*
