But he did have notions for beings that saw and valued the world very differently than mortals, and thinking of Connor as a peculiar kind of trapped spirit had served him in good stead previously.

Does anyone talk about androids having souls?
[A pause. And then, more gently,] Has anyone ever--"fixed" an android that's gone deviant?
