[Connor leans in to kiss it as its thoughts and feelings meld with his own. He feels that ache for something, a craving, and the disconnect it feels between its body and its true self. It makes him draw the SQUIP closer, because he can't imagine trying to adapt to a human body himself. He wouldn't want to... human bodies are awfully inconvenient. You have to fuel them, let them rest. They're fragile, they feel pain. To be suddenly thrust into such a body must be awful.

Mostly though, he feels good about this Bond. It does feel right. They should be connected. And he feels the comfort the SQUIP feels too, and tries to offer more of it. He understands. He will always understand. As long as they're both here, neither of them has to feel alone in that regard.]
