[Connor couldn't cry or, rather, he didn't know how to. He'd seen others do it in his time as a detective, but he'd never seen another android cry, not even Carlos Ortiz's poor android. Not even after being beaten and attempting destruction did it cry. Perhaps they did not have the proper machinery to release tears, perhaps crying was an error in their programming.
So Connor doesn't cry, but there is an ache deep inside him that has no name.
He buries his face in Hank's shoulder, breathing in shelter and safety and everything he never truly felt until this news. Never again would Alrys put her fingers into his mind and twist and pull until she wired him exactly as she wanted.
