Getting to Kamski's was more difficult than Connor had imagined. He didn't want to kill anyone, but he soon realized it was them or him. He made sure to avoid any police officers, but he was forced to neutralize several CyberLife guards in order to continue. He only had to kill one, luckily. The others would wake up and report to CyberLife that they had been attacked by Connor. They would know for certain that he was against them.
It was dark by the time Connor got to Kamski's. He knocked on the door, looking behind him almost obsessively. Chloe answered the door as calmly as she had the first time. It was like a punch in the stomach from Reed when she smiled brightly at Connor.
"Connor. It's good to see you. Come in, quick."
He obeyed, still stunned at her reaction. Perhaps she was a different android, but she looked just like Chloe. It made Connor nervous. He shoved his hands in his jacket pockets, not quite sure what else he could do with them.
"You look very handsome like that." She continued, easily keeping the conversation going. "Are you here to see Kamski?"
"Yes." Connor nodded. "Um... Are you..."
"I'm Chloe. Don't worry, I'm not upset you shot me."
She was smiling so kindly. It made Connor feel even worse. He looked away. He had never faced someone he had killed before, but he wasn't sure this was the kind of reaction she should be having. He couldn't look into her round blue eyes.
"I'm sorry for that."
"Don't worry. I'm just glad you found your way back."
He didn't know what that meant, but she was already drifting away, so he couldn't ask. She stopped at the door. "I'll let Kamski know you're here. Make yourself at home."
Connor paced the hall, unsure what Kamski would say. He wasn't even sure what he wanted him to say. All he knew is that Kamski was his best hope for answers. Maybe if Chloe wasn't angry, Kamski wouldn't be either. Either way, he wasn't sure what to expect, and his stress was raising. He wished for the thousandth time that he had his coin.
"Connor." He turned to see Chloe back in the doorway. "Come on, Kamski is this way."
Kamski was sitting in a room unlike anything Connor had ever seen. It was almost disorienting. There was a sitting area just inside the door, then there was a raised area beyond. It looked almost like a library with the books along the walls, but there was also an impressive computer station on the second level. Just behind it was the oddest wall Connor had seen. It was covered in almost a large mosaic of windows and mirrors and art. It was fashioned to resemble a piece of shattered glass, only each shard was either showing a reflection of the inside, a scene from some artist's imagination, or the hills and sky just on the other side of the wall. It was the most ridiculous thing Connor had seen.
"Welcome back." Kamski pulled his focus away from the strange wall. "Come and sit."
Connor obeyed, watching as Chloe sat snuggled next to Kamski on the soft white couch. Immediately, Kamski put his arm around her. Connor sat opposite of them, wringing his hands nervously.
"What brings you here?" Kamski asked.
"I need answers." Connor stared hard at the table between them. He had no right to be here. He had no right to ask anything more from Kamski.
"I told you. One question. You asked it, and I answered."
"It's not about deviants."
"Then what?"
Connor looked at Kamski's neutral face. He didn't know why it was so hard to ask him what he needed to. He forced himself to sit up straight and put his hands in the pouch pocket of his hoodie. He needed to just say it.
