You were jotting down your notes after your most recent session with Ava while Nathan was working on a new code on his laptop. Comfortable silence had settled between you, a rare occurrence when it came to being in the presence of Nathan.

Kyoko walks into the room, placing two bottles of beer on the table. You send her a polite smile and nod, while Nathan doesn’t even acknowledge her presence. With his eyes glued on the screen and his fingers tapping away on the keyboard, he speaks up in a casual way

“You know, you are a near perfect match for me. Physically, genetically, socially.”
