    When Connor became a deviant and realized that he was not just a piece of plastic, you became his guide to humanity. You often helped him deal with what he was feeling and basically helped him become the person he is today.

    It turned out that Connor didn't have his own clothes. His CyberLife jacket brought back some unpleasant memories, and most of the time he was sneaking something out of your closet.

    You promised the android you'd go shopping with him today. Connor spent most of the day making a list of things, only distracting himself when you called him directly. He'd done his part of the job at the Department as quickly as possible and sat with his arms folded, waiting impatiently for you. You sighed heavily, looked at the accumulated pile of work and sent Connor home, promising that you'd finish as soon as possible and you'd go shopping together.

    So you lied. When Connor left and you were almost done with everything, Captain Fowler suddenly needed to mess with your head and toss you another stack of paperwork. It wasn't until ten o'clock that you were able to free yourself and finally drive home. All the stores were already closed. Riding in your car and keeping your eyes on the road, you suddenly heard a faint vibration. You got a notification on your phone from Connor. And there was more than one. On the main screen at intervals of several tens of minutes or even hours, notifications popped up: «Lieutenant, are you okay?», «Sorry to distract you, but are you okay?:(» and many, many more like it.

    You sighed and continued on your way with a sick feeling in your heart. Parking at the house and walking quickly to the front door, you opened it, only to see Connor stomping into the hallway. He looked up and stopped pulling on his boots. Connor smiled, getting up from the floor.

    «Oh, you're finally back! I…»

    He hesitated for a second and his diode flickered yellow.

    «I was worried. I was already thinking of going looking for you.»
