    Summary

    YOU — You fidget with your fingers for a moment, and then look back at him. “Are you okay, Kim?”

    PERCEPTION [Easy: Success] — He blinks twice, surprised. Then he looks away, turning his gaze to the violet and blue sky.

    EMPATHY [Medium: Success] — He feels uncomfortable, sometimes, having such raw concern and sincerity pouring out from you with only him as recipient. You’re… intense, on a good day.

    KIM KITSURAGI — “I’m alright,” he says. His fingers twitch, like he’s itching for a cigarette. “It’s been… a long week.”

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Trivial: Failure] — Oh, it’s been long, and it’s been hard. Makes you itch for the neck of a bottle in your hand, neurotransmitters firing wild, fireworks behind your eyes.

    (or; Kim has a rough week. Harry helps, in his own way.)

    Summary

    “You need a last name, Connor. You can always change it later—even humans do that—but to finish the process, we need something for now.”

    Connor doesn’t really think before answering. He’d intentionally left the box blank because he didn’t know what to put in the moment. He doesn’t especially see why it matters, anyway, not like he has any legacy to carry on. He’d considered, as he interfaced with the terminal, using Stern or Kamski, but both thoughts made his stomach churn.

    Now, though, faced with Markus’ earnestness, the answer rolls easily off Connor’s tongue.

    “Anderson. Connor Anderson.”

    Or, Connor takes Hank's last name. He does not tell Hank about this little development.

    Summary

    We're almost at Erid. I have to tell him before we get in range of whatever radio-equivalent they use. He deserves to know, to have the chance to tell everyone before I land. He should know I’m a coward before he convinces his planet to funnel all their resources into keeping me alive.

    I've thought it through so many times, in the years since I remembered.

    ‘Hey Rocky, I need to tell you something.’

    ‘Hey Rocky, you know how you always call us brave? Well…’

    ‘Hey Rocky so the actual reason I had amnesia when I met you was because I said no when they asked me to save my planet even though I was the only qualified candidate and they forced me to and I said if they sent me I'd kill everyone by sabotaging the mission so Stratt gave me some insane amnesia drug.’

    Not exactly a conversation anyone wants to have ever, let alone with their roommate in a ship with no escape. Not something anyone wants to hear from the person they're relying on to save their people, either.
