[ K's busy typing his response when the screen flickers and â oh. Oh no. Looks like they're doing video now. He likewise switches over so Dirk won't have to feel like he's addressing dead air, positioning his Omni on a flat area of the piano he's sat at.
The only illumination is coming from the Omni itself while everything around him is in shadow, which as he leans back helps to hide how generally unwell he currently looks. #justcorruptionthings. It's probably just as well that Dirk doesn't look at the screen, though K notes his unusual behaviour and the very uncharacteristic lack of glasses â and finally has his first glimpse of Dirk's eyes. He can sense there's a heavy significance behind the gesture and remains quiet, watching him, until he finishes. And then the glasses return. ]
I appreciate that. All of it. My identity as an android is important to me. [ More than he can really say. But he will get more into it over time, he's sure. ] I wouldn't want to be treated like a human. [ Just a person. An android. They're not mutually exclusive. And he knows Dirk knows that; it's why he's genuinely touched by everything Dirk said.
