Hey.

[ visiting starbucks after connor's death feels strange for waver. just a day ago, he had been sitting on a table, drinking a tea that connor had brewed him.

now the only person that's there is rebecca-- connor would never be here again. ]

[throwabookatit]

[ It's her usual place. Morning tea, evening chats with Hank. Now...this feels hollow. Everything's starting to feel hollow. ]

...Hello, Waver.

[ She wonders idly if he'd ever touched the food she left out for him. She wonders idly... ]

[devotingly]

[ he did not. ]

...I'm...sorry about Connor.

[ it sounds strange, considering everything that he said on saturday, but...he does mean it. ]

How are you doing?

[throwabookatit]

[ For a moment, it looks as if she's going to say something sharp, with her brow furrowed and her hand wrapped tight around her tea cup.

But then it just gives way to grief, her head bowed. ]

Miserably. Which I'm sure isn't too much of a surprise.

[devotingly]

Yeah.

[ he begins to heat water, meaning to prepare himself some tea. ]

I wonder...who did that to him...

[throwabookatit]

That robot there. It had to have been ordered by someone. I refuse to believe it was malfunctioning.

[ Now the fire does linger under her words. ]

Someone... Someone killed him. Someone did that to him.

[devotingly]

Someone must’ve hacked Connor, too. If not... I don’t think he would have gotten hurt like that.

[ waver clicks his tongue, but continues paying attention to his tea. ]

I just... wonder why? After all, this attack had to come from above. But why?

[throwabookatit]

...Connor's always the type to dig.

[ She can't use past tense yet. It was the same, with Isabella... ]

I think... He was trying to tell me something. To tell Han, that he met someone called H.

[devotingly]

I think that's just in his nature as a police android.

[ and yet it got him killed...did connor expect that, too?

he frowns, trying not to focus on it too much. ]

H... could that have been the person that had control of the robot? And perhaps Connor, too?

[throwabookatit]

I... [ Her brown furrows. She can't just go into this mode, not when the grief overpowers the anger. ] I wouldn't be surprised, but...

[ ... ]

I can't...think about this right now. No matter...how many times I have to lose someone, it never gets any easier.
