That was the word that kept recurring in Connor's mind until it permeated action he took in the day-to-day. Willfully filtering it out where unnecessary--something that should have been one-and-done--paradoxically made it call more attention to itself. The nagging aberrations in his consciousness had been steadily building for every time he neglected to perform a self-scan, which were in themselves redundant. The virtual landscapes he'd used for such things were inaccessible to him, even if the mysterious inn had the proper infrastructure to host them.

The 'redundant' label abated. He listened to the stories of whoever was in a talkative mood. He reflected on his brief time as a human almost endlessly. A memory that should have, at best, been filed away as a baffling but fleeting experience warped into a mystery meriting further investigation.
