[Two misfit androids on the islands of misfit toys? Though he has a sneaky suspicion that Chloe would still be more accepted among other androids than he would be.
He knows what she's doing, through the benefit of their shared reality. She's in full denial, deeply so, and it bothers him. It makes his resolve to figure out what she's so afraid of all the stronger. Frowning down at her, he shakes his arm to shrug off her hands, his lips set in a thin, determined line. If she won't let go, he'll drag her along. He already has a few ideas as to what he'll find when he reaches the bleeding glow. His mind drifts back to something that Kamski told him, something that had actually ended up saving him once he understood what Kamski had been trying to tell him.
I always leave an emergency exit in my programs. You never know...
Was this Chloe's exit? Would Kamski have given her one? What did this mean for her deviancy? Cyberlife had been able to infiltrate his mind and pluck his control away from him without so much as the courtesy of a reach-around even after he supposedly deviated. Had Kamski exerted so much control over Chloe that she still wasn't fully free of her programming? What if this was a test for her- if she could find and utilize the emergency exit he'd left for her, then he'd know she was ready to be on her own?
Connor couldn't do this for her, but he sure as hell could lead her there, be there to offer her his support in whatever decision she made. If he never did anything else worthy or decent in his life, he could do this for Chloe.]
Stay here then, if you wish. [He points towards the crimson streak in the distance, looking like a fiery sunset.] But I'm going there.
