“Didn’t say you were a good person. Said you seem decent. It’s not like you’ve gone and poisoned me.”
Or so Hank is assuming, anyway. Halfway through another bite of his delicious chocolate donut — is this the one thing here that is actually palatable? The one thing? — and he pauses mid-chew.
“You’ve had ample opportunity to do all that. So, unless I keel over dead in the next few hours, I’m gonna say you’ve treated me decently. That fair?”
The number still doesn’t feel real somehow — it’s too big and this guy looks so damn young — but Hank isn’t going to press further. He’d have his hackles raised if someone were poking around his business, too. Can’t blame the kid.
Hank does note, though, that there is no mention of him being low — or high — on any potential kill list. He has to hold in a smile at that.
“How about you tell me how long you’ve been here,” Hank says, trying to de-escalate, but hell — he’s not Connor. He’s not good with people. Living here is going to be a nightmare, isn’t it? “Seeing as how I just got here, and — what do they expect? We plop our asses down and wait to be judged by the AI overlord?”
