Act Fourteen - Interlude: Misinterpreted Signals

    We’re sitting in the car. He’s staring fixedly at the road, and there is nothing but silence between us. I wonder what has happened, what has changed.

    I picked up his coat from the tailor’s and my new outfit this morning. I plan to wear it to dinner this evening. We probably won’t get back from this investigation until rather late.

    I wonder what he’s thinking about… what’s wrong. He seems all right, but then Roger rarely ever seems otherwise. He puts up a tall wall between himself and the world that I can’t seem to get past. I know he’s more than what impression he gives off, but I can’t seem to get around that wall. He’s hiding behind it, using it as a shield.

    It’s almost as though he’s afraid to let me in… for fear of what I might see.

Or what I might find out.

    I simply don’t understand what he finds so necessary to hide from me.

    After all, I’m just an android, aren’t I?

    I will wear the outfit some other time. I don’t think now is the right moment to spring any changes on Roger. It might send him further into this shell he’s erected for himself.
