androids were property where you're from. here we get to make our own rules. [ Is that...a sufficiently child-friendly way of saying 'you telling me you're effectively my slave makes me uncomfortable, and I think you're worth more than that'? ]
i'm letting you stay with us for two reasons. one is i can't tell mr. dearborn who he lets stay at his house or not. two is the same reason as with everyone else staying here...still not entirely sure the best way to word it. i guess just that i'd like you around, as long as you'd like to stay around.
