Those eyes on that android, everything about Connor, will surely be the death of you and your heart. He tries so hard and yet he's always lost.

You wish you didn't have to see that fear in his eyes earlier today. He wasn't meant to look like that. Connor wasn't meant for any of this. He's suffering and you can't do anything! He's slowly changing but you must keep your hopes down because anything can change because ra9 is a bastard and is an emotionless thing that just doesn't see that they're real! But you want to hope, you really want to hope and show Connor about emotions and teach him and just be there for him because he's—he's—

"Doctor (Y/N)? Are you still there?" One of the directors of who the fuck knows anymore asked. You took a deep breath, moving to pet your cat beside you to calm down.

"Yes," you said, swallowing. "And to your earlier question, even someone like me can cause little mistakes. I'm only human. I'm certainly not the only best at CyberLife either."

"That is true but—"

"Look, how about this? I come two days from now, November 10th, so I can properly show the other workers on how to produce Thirium 317?" You suggested, leaning back. A million plans and what if's in your mind, maze atop maze. All the different paths, turns, walls. All the choices at your hand.

Murmurings were heard on the other side of the phone as you waited, patiently as you pet your cat idly. Chloe coming up to you and mouthing if everything was alright while you only nodded with a fleeting smile. Because your mind is just filled and constantly filled with too many thoughts for someone like you. Wondering if you were doing the right thing because your gut felt extremely heavy with doubts. And your throat feeling slightly closed up in apprehension.

Your role isn't to control, but you wish you could. And you will. You hope it doesn't backfire on you because everything will be for naught.

"That is acceptable. I'm sure you'll be able to set everything up without us having to overwatch the whole process?" You weren't surprised that they wish to watch you, you've been slipping with Connor lately. Slipping bad. You're almost at the point where you'll just let everything drop and not care anymore.

Not caring is quite a dangerous thing though. For Connor's sake, always for his sake because he's an android that you can never get angry at whether he can accomplish his missions or not because he's Connor, you should be careful.

You really should.

"Yes," you replied curtly, "but I admit I might come late that day. It is supposed to be my vacation after all and I have to double check certain things before I go."

"We understand. We'll hear from you in two days then."

They then promptly hung up and your thoughts were overcome about numerous things as you stared at your laptop screen that had numerous tabs open, scratching the back of your cat's ears while Chloe came to next to you offering her help as always if needed.

They were supposed to leave you alone after that. So, what can be the reason they've been calling ever since 11 AM today? It's not like you're going to pick up. You have more things to worry about, like your hard drive in your laptop as well as why Connor's stress levels have been high since around. . . The same time CyberLife has been trying to reach you.

Huh.

Did Connor figure it out? Did he tell Hank and this is why CyberLife can't stop bothering me?
