You know I could live

- i could live with it.

But every day was different and that was

the hardest part.

Every single time i thought I knew

something or learned anything I...

...didn't.

And I felt this guilt every time i wanted

to go back to normal.

Like I shouldn't want that.

Every day I am practicing unbearable discipline and self

-control.

You realize what would happen if anyone saw

us, in here, right now?

We'd go straight to the den. It's a death

sentence.

One of my neighbors missed two doctor's

appointments.

I haven't seen him in six weeks.

We can't do this again.

It can't happen, you know that.

-We just...

We just have to hold out for the cure.

Will you stay in here with me a little

longer?

-Are you ok?

-Yeah.

I need to go.

Nia, are you staying late again tonight?

I'm not sure.

I wish I had your kind of work ethic.

I received a message from Zoe.

On her way to work this morning she

received a conception duty summons.

Could one of the illustrators present for

her in the staff meeting?

I'll do it. I'll be glad to.

-Good night, Nia.

-Good night, Kate.

They may simply be labeled as dualist.

Two subject concepts and materialist one

subject concepts.

The way you've been looking at me...

I can't help it.

I can feel it.

What does it feel like?

It feels wrong.

No, no. No.

It's not wrong. It's completely right. This

feels...

...completely right.

I'm scared.

Im so scared.

Me too.

Hello, Leonard.

Silas.

I didn't expect to see you here this late.

Have you thought about killing yourself?

No, that's not until stage three.

Why is Nia's interface on?

Have you been snooping again, Silas?

Excuse me?

A month ago, health and safety saw you on Nia's interface after

-hours.

I was told to keep an eye on you.

Is there something you want to tell me?

As the manager here at atmos,

one of my duties is to maintain the safety

and welfare of the team.

Therefore, if I believe that someone on the

team is in danger,

or involved in an activity that is unsafe,

I'd report him, or her,

Unless, of course, the activity were to stop.

Does that make sense to you?

Yes.

Good.

Shall we get out of here, Silas?

-Goodnight.

-Goodnight, Nia.

He knows.

What are we going to do?

We have to stay away from each other.

I can't...

...stay away from you. I can't...

...not be around you.

Not in that office. Not when I see you

everyday. It's impossible.

I thought about it. The best thing is for

me to leave atmos.

Get a job somewhere else.

It's like you said...

That's all we should be thinking about.

Nia...

Have you received a conception duty summons?

Let's work together to populate the

collective.

Insemination is quick and solitary,
