Summary
It was true, in a sense. Every other android didn’t, and it was what everyone knew. After all, it wasn’t like CyberLife told the public about that one unique feature of the RK800. All they knew was that he was a detective model, programmed to catch deviants. That was all they needed to know, anyway.
Because no one needed to know how accustomed he’d gotten to pain. No one needed to know how CyberLife specifically programmed him to feel pain in order to ensure he does his mission successfully and efficiently. No one needed to know about that cold, uninviting room within the depths of CyberLife tower, where its workers would take him apart for the sole purpose of reminding him what pain feels like. Of what it feels like to fail.
[ Or; In which Connor is the only android programmed to feel pain. ]

Summary
It’s always odd to see himself, always so strange to see a living, breathing, tangible thing looking back and watching curiously. Because from the very beginning of his life, Connor has never truly felt…real. Like he’s just an intangible thing drifting through the world, alternating between being stuck inside sterile, cold walls and in the freezing outside.
Because what is he, really? Back then, after failed missions and painful deaths and he’d be taken back to CyberLife to be replaced, all they had to do was transfer his memory program to another, waiting empty shell that would soon be his body.
How ironic that despite the seemingly endless replacements they have for him, what truly makes it him are just a bunch of detached memories stored in a program. It makes him wonder sometimes. If he loses his memories for good, would he still be Connor? Is he just a truly intangible being in this world, just those clusters of memories?
[ Or; Basically a collection of one-shots focusing on Connor's trauma and recovery from his time in CyberLife. ]
