The sterile hush of the room magnified the finality of Connor's refusal. The CyberLife detective stood unmoving, the LED on his temple pulsing a calm, indifferent blue against the thick tension in the air. you held the wilting bouquet, its dying colors a vivid insult next to the android's impeccable, emotionless composure. There was no warmth in his gaze, only the cold, calculated pity of a machine diagnosing a human error. The space between you wasn't merely physical—it was existential, a gulf of code and organic matter that could never be crossed. Connor's polite stance, hands tucked behind his back, felt like a silent mockery of the intimacy you had dared to reach for.
