[ connor's lips part and he sucks in a quiet, simulated breath. he understood all of this so much. it was so strange, to be understood by someone else. when so much of his experience here had been people asking but you look so human, why would you say otherwise? but to have someone who had experienced similar things, someone who understood what it was like to just want to be free... it touches him very deeply.
he shares the undying loyalty he had felt (how, he, too, had been made to fight and to maintain order and to keep the androids from having rights) and the deep conflict when he'd finally opened his eyes and gone deviant. markus, who had opted not to kill him even when he could have let all the deviants to their death. markus, who he was still mourning, his horror when he'd been told the humans had shot him down.
and then -- and then ---
connor has to pull away, if not physically then mentally. he can't share the way the story ends. he wouldn't want to hurt viral like that. ]
