Subject: You still haven’t explained…

Okay, I’ll ask one more time. And if you skim over it this time, I’ll let it go. What’s the deal with the 52?

Because I feel like it’s got to mean something!

Peeling back the layers,

Re: You still haven’t explained…

Sorry. I didn’t mean not to answer. It’s not really a big mystery. I was raised by my aunt and uncle. He was a frogman in Korea. 1952.

And, yeah, that means he was really old by the time they got custody of me when I was a toddler. But my aunt was younger than him, so it wasn’t that bad. They both died when I was younger. It’s why I dropped out of college and enlisted.

But speaking of email addresses… I noticed you’re no longer writing from your work email. Trouble at the office?

Re: re: You still haven’t explained…

Work is good. It just seemed odd to still be using that email when we’re emailing so often now.

Funnily enough, emails from my work email about whether replicants are better or worse than terminators didn’t seem like an ideal use of company resources….
