Summary
Gavin Reed, a mess of a human being, just wants to be left to his self destructive tendencies. RK900, an android designed by the most brilliant minds in the world to be the perfect machine, is desperate to grasp the full range of emotional freedom now afforded to him. The two will need to find an equilibrium before their incompatible personalities—and an eccentric serial killer with a dangerous piece of tech—swallow them whole.

Summary
Mouth dry, heart pounding, Gavin’s hands found Connor’s waist on instinct. He didn’t really need to act for that to come through. “I thought… I thought you didn’t like me,” he said. This really didn’t feel like just an op anymore. The music was picking back up again, becoming louder, faster. Connor began to move along to it. Just another protocol he’d downloaded to blend.
“I never said that,” Connor whispered, his lips to his ear. “And besides. You apologized to me, didn’t you?”

Summary
Nines just tilts his head the slightest bit, a provocation: Well?
Gavin is incandescent with fury. “You know what?” he snaps. “Fine.”
He doesn’t need hindsight to conclude the obvious; he knows full well in the moment that this is where he lets things spiral out of control. When he sets his jaw and yanks his tee up over his head, left in his undershirt like he’s about to start a fight, it’s crystal-clear to him that he’s stepping past a point of no return. But—
—there is no but. What threadbare excuse does he have? He made me do it, Your Honor. I was so irritated that I had no choice but to take my clothes off. Gavin leaves his desk and throws himself onto the nest of pillows at the head of his bed, zooms in with the webcam until the focus returns to the lens, and parts his knees.

Summary
Slowly, like the trickling warmth of the tide coming in, the flush rises in Gavin's cheeks. He doesn't answer, just stomps away as belligerently as he can with two dozen eggs nestled in his apron, while Tina and Chris exchange their animated chatter. Spellbound still, Nines follows Gavin with his eyes until he stomps into the staff entrance and disappears from sight.
Two different things, what Nines is meant to do and what he has come here for.
I came here for you, he thinks.
