You don't strike me as a very happy person.

[Now, maybe this is him projecting. Michael's come to realize that maybe he does that a lot. He's working on it, sort of, it's on the list. But if Eleanor could see how Michael lashed out at others because he was...scared, insecure, any of those things that he's only just beginning to admit...then is Michael wrong when he sees that in others?

Maybe, maybe not. He's a very recent student of empathy.

Standing here just staring Ebenezer down is starting to feel weird. Michael turns to find the kettle and starts filling it with water. It's an electric one; he wonders if Ebenezer might have gone for some tea if he weren't so very apparently incapable of using technology? Well, doesn't matter, this is mostly just something to do with his hands.]


Alright. Here's the thing. I was with you for a long time on these profiles being made up. But now I'm starting to think they aren't.

[He's never made mention of this before. Everything fake about his profile (Likes: his friends, humans) had seemed like the perfect cover story, so he just went with it. But now...]

We all know we've forgotten things, right? Why couldn't it be something massive?
