Simon is back from the rooftop, shot and injured a few more places. Marcus finds him limping towards Jericho as he runs over and helps him inside. He brings him into the nursing room and since Lucy is constantly occupied with other patients, Marcus...

Markus is back! He doesn't look injured. Thank god, if that's what the humans say. I was worried he would get injured. He's smiling? I've... never seen him smile like that before. He's gonna sit next to me. I feel nervous. Why do I always feel this way around him? He's reaching...for my hands again! Oh my god... I feel like my face is heating up. M-Markus is holding my hands again! I... I feel this feeling again. The tingly feeling in my stomach. Markus tells me in a low voice:
"I've learned something new today. And it's something I'm very happy to share with you." Learned something new..? Are the humans gonna accept our proposition for android rights? Are we finally gonna be free? He's not telling me what it is he found out! And the fact that he's holding my hands is making my face as blue as the ocean, but I don't want him to let go. "W-What is it, Markus?" He... He's holding one of my hands now. He's placing his fingers on mine, his palm on mine, almost as if we're kids wanting to compare the size of our hands. He's leaning in. What is he doing...? I... I'm not sure. But whatever it is, I'm gonna go with the flow. I feel like it's the right thing to do. Besides, I trust him. I trust him now more than ever. I lean in as well. I can feel his warm breath on my face. We are so close to each other. We start connecting. The skin on our hands is fading. All we can see is plain white with a shade of blue, highlighting the areas where our bodies meet. Markus looked deeply into my eyes and whispered the words I thought I would never hear slip out of his mouth:
"I love you, Simon." He then kissed me. My eyes widened. I'm in shock. He loves me? Do I love him back? I... I think I do! I... I'm in love with Markus, leader of Jericho. I can't help but kiss back. It feels like my lips are getting buried in the softest material on Earth. This... Kiss. It feels like the sweetest kiss that has ever existed on this planet. Just the interaction makes the sensation in my stomach go wild. It's incredible. All I can see is a light tone of pink surrounding this room. I can't believe that Markus is in front of me, kissing me. Something I thought would only happen in my dreams is happening for real. All of a sudden, I can see my partner's memories. Markus taking care of Carl, painting with Carl, the argument between Leo, Carl, and Markus, him escaping the policemen after pushing Leo... Th-This is too much information...! I-I can't take it! I pull out from the kiss and pull my hand away from his. I start panting in fear: "I... I saw everything. You, Carl, Leo... Everything." Markus was looking at me in shock: "I saw everything too... How you got abused by Emily, I... felt like I was there." We stayed in silence for a couple of minutes. We were still trying to process all the information we had instantly received. But then, I decided to talk: "I... I'm glad you kissed me, Markus. Without that, I would have never guessed...that I was in love with you too. You erased all the lies I have told myself...
...with just a touch."
