[Nick might be physically manufactured, but there are several who would attest to the humanity that lies just beneath his synthetic skin. He'd attribute that to the real Nick Valentine's memories that are burned into hardware, behaviors and morals of a man long dead living on through an artificial copy; others would say he's more than just a facsimile, having become his own person through his experiences. Either way, the lopsided smile he offers Atem is genuine.]
Not much demand for detectives either, but I keep busy. You can, too.

Sounds like you really have a lot in your hands... Anyway. That's all I wanted to... 「No, wait, he's here now, it might be best not to waste the chance.」
Actually... About Rey... I'm really sorry about the way I handled it... Or tried to. I never meant to hurt her or her friends.

「Look, he's still that kid that probably read a lot of manga. Again, blame his host.」

[Though he wouldn't be surprised if the Institute started equipping synths with laser eyes instead of laser rifles one day.]
