Fourth Study Session

[lockdownmods]

Today, there is nothing to return-- no way to be sure that the events that have repeated themselves three different weeks now have not happened yet again. But by now perhaps you're simply aware that you should be cautious on these days.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing.

And while the dormitory seems to be in the same condition you left it when you slept-- the same cannot be said of outside or the main building.

[reshoot]

I'm sure he made you feel the same way...

[she squeezes him tightly. He may be an android, but to her, he's never felt anything but human.]

Hank did more for me here than I could possibly repay him for, but...

This won't all be for nothing, I swear, Connor.

[preconstruction]

[ max doesn't know the whole story; she doesn't know what happens next to connor but that's okay. he can pretend for her. pretend that everything will be okay. that it isn't for nothing. ]

That's what he'd want.

[reshoot]

I know now isn't the time but...

[she sighs, sniffling.]

I'd really like to know everything about him. All the stuff I didn't have a chance to ask...

God, why...
