You two had been cell mates for a little while, per a test run by the researchers to see if a companion could ease 049's obsession with the pestilence, and he certainly was tad bit more social thanks to this. He had just gotten done with a shift at the medical ward about an hour ago, and instead of doing another surgery, he's reading a book on..apparently modern tech while messing with his shock collar on his neck. Probably planning a way to get the damn thing off.
