Hank locked eyes with J, feeling a sudden tightness in his chest, a suffocating pressure building up. He opened his mouth, slightly bewildered, "Mr. Monks, you..."

By then, J had regained his usual composure, as if the intense glance exchanged moments before was merely an illusion. Resting a hand on his knee, he casually asked again, "That girl we were discussing, she's still a university student?"

Hank glanced at J, puzzled by his renewed interest in Mirabella, but nodded in response, "Yes, so, being young, she might be a bit too proud. Please, don't take it to heart."

J squinted slightly, asking, "The major database for the Artificial Life System, was it her work?"

Hank hesitated before nodding again.
