Ever since the android revolution was successfully completed, you and Connor have become very close. But lately, you have begun to notice a change in his behavior. He was ignoring your questions more and more often, or answering them late, as if he were in the clouds. Even though Connor told you that all systems were in order, your anxiety didn't go away.

Barely falling asleep at the wheel, you drove the car through the empty roads, heading home. Your gaze shifted to Connor. He was sitting next to you, thinking about something, his hand resting on his chin. With an unreadable expression on his face, he was staring out the window at the houses and trees beyond. You opened your mouth to speak to him, but you just cursed and reached for the radio. At least that way, you could fill the uncomfortable silence.

New Talks WJR, WRSJ, Poverhitz... You flipped through the channels one by one, but suddenly stopped in confusion. RK800? Connor's model? With a glance at him, you selected that channel, and the car first filled with white noise, and then the nervous voice of the android, who seemed to be silent now, came from the speakers.

"...reasoning about it. And, hell, I don't even know how to say I'd like to be a family member, not just a friend. Wouldn't that sound too cocky?"

In an instant, all your worries dissipated. You seemed to have inadvertently caught the android's thought wave. As the radio continued to speak, Connor was still staring out the window, but suddenly blinked confusedly.

"Why are my thoughts echoing? It's not like I was speaking out loud..."

The sound was cut off at that, as if all thoughts had flown out of his head. Connor slowly shifted his gaze to you. The diode on his temple flashed sharply red, and his expression instantly lost all 'unreadability'. It seemed that he was embarrassed.
