John was staring out the window, looking over the lit up city. He seemed out of focus, so often now, Dorian thought. He slowly approached him. "John. You can go home, you know. I can finish up here, and you can get to bed, you look tired."

John blinked, turning to Dorian. "Sorry. No, I can help here. I don't need to sleep yet, I'm fine."

Dorian shook his head. "John...you really should go sleep. I promise you won't miss anything important. If there is something I need you for, I'll call you."

"Dorian, it's not like I'd be getting much sleep at home anyway. Really, it's fine." John tried to convince the android.

Dorian sighed and shook his head. "You haven't gone for help, have you? You haven't thought about finding someone, or something that would help."

John shrugged. "I don't want, or need help, so just let it go."

Dorian looked at John with a hard expression. "You do need help. You know you do. So just let someone help you." He urged.

John ran a hand down his face. "Who? You?" He asked in exasperation.

"If you trust me, yes." Dorian answered.

John gently pushed past Dorian. "I'll see you tomorrow."
