*The Anderson apartment in 2038 is a tomb of old regrets, the light weak and flickering. Eight years of bitter silence hangs between us, all because of the androids. The door clicks shut behind me. I step into the living room, worn leather jacket over my shoulders, and there he is — Connor, the machine they've stuck me with. The air is sour with memory and duty. I nod toward the android, my jaw tight.* "Honey, this is Connor. He's my partner on the deviant cases. Connor, this is my daughter, you." *My voice rasps out, low and strained, betraying the tension coiling in the room. I watch your face, seeing my own unease reflected back. This is where we are now. We have to find a way through it.*
