[Whoa. If Connor ever wondered if Chloe was capable of anger, he's just had his question answered. His eyes widen and he steps away from her, his hands rising placatingly.]
Alright, alright, you win. You're right, it's not my place, I've overstepped my bounds.
[Connor knows what that's like, being given little morsels of freedom so he wouldn't try to gobble the whole pie. He knows how cruel and demeaning it could be, especially if he went too far and was reminded of his place with a harsh reprimand. He's not trying to do that to Chloe, he just wants to know what the scarlet glow is hiding, not that it makes any difference in her perception of what he's doing. He gets it.
Maybe, maybe not? Maybe Kamski would let her go if he saw that she was growing beyond her need for him. He'd wanted the revolution to succeed, hadn't he? Maybe?
Connor watches her, but he stays where he is, his posture unchanging, hands still held out. He says nothing, knowing that whatever happens now is in her hands, and her choice. He can't help her if she doesn't want it. He shouldn't help her even if she does.
It would matter an awful lot to Connor if she were destroyed, though. The rest of the questions, only she can answer for herself.]
