[ Sinclair had his "consultation" that day. It's absolutely terrifying and Sinclair is more circumspect about his temper; he hadn't ruined the mission but there was a clear reminder of what was expected out of him in the future.

... apparently "Amelia" might continue to be useful. Hm.

The technology convention is dull, and draining. Sinclair spends his time watching Faust shake out information from Timetrack employees while he scouts the concentration looking for signs of Abnormalities. Every rumor reaches him eventually, and it takes all he can to not start another incident. People give him some space after awhile and even Rodya tells him he needs to pull it together and to stop scaring people with his face. For Oria's sake if nothing else.

But he feels so helpless watching the CEO grill Oria... only for Oria to publicly tear strips off him in a way that was to cause a scandal. He wants to run after Oria, hang onto him but he gets pulled back. They were here for a job.

So Sinclair doesn't reach Oria's home until night, waving off the offer for dinner and heading up the stairs to check on Oria. He frowns, sitting on the bed, and reaching out to touch Oria's hair]


...Oria?
