Summary
The dance floor isn’t lit up, the barkeep doesn’t wear a bowtie, and the bathroom doesn’t have a door. The ceilings are low, but people still smoke, and a hundred health code violations fly through Majima’s head.
But, all of this information takes the backseat to the fact that Nishitani, patriarch of the Kijin clan, brought them both down to a gay bar where the folks who ran the joint knew him by face alone.

Summary
"He works all night and lies in his apartment pretending to sleep during the day but it creeps upon him, the neon lights, the parks and the yakuza roaming the streets. So much like Kamurocho, an uncanny valley of its absence: no Champion District alleyways, Theatre Square drunks or a draughty apartment to call home.
The illusion of freedom is a chain on its own; and Majima is a free man as long as he stays in the city, as long as he keeps doing his job; as long as he ignores the sword hanging above his head. If he just lets the sun pooling in his apartment, the serene river and gulls shrieking under his window lull him.
As long as he doesn’t pull on the leash."

Summary
“ Arthur was not sure why, of all the men Dutch could have chosen to drag along without a gag, it had to be this one. He was pathetic, and annoyingly so. Surely, there were quieter O’Driscolls about, or ones with a shred a dignity, at least. ”
---
What begins with canned salmon and a moment of weakness blossoms into two kindred spirits finding that they do indeed warm to each other and form an unlikely bond.

Summary
Connor remains a machine after confronting Markus, but Hank manages to convert him to deviancy on the rooftop above Hart Plaza. Connor doesn’t have a place any longer with the revolution, but perhaps it isn’t too late for him to flee the country?
Meanwhile, Kara is too cautious and misses the last bus to the border. Her, Alice, and Luther are left stranded on the street until an eerily familiar face pulls up and offers them help. Desperate enough to put her distrust aside, she accepts the stranger’s help and rides up to the border. Can they make it through?

Summary
“Okay, let me run this by you one more time, just in case I’m missing anything. We’ve had more than fifty separate missing person cases stemming from the same three-block radius in the last month. Somehow, we have no witnesses, no physical evidence, no suspects, and no pattern between the victims, other than them all being androids. Our only lead is an unlicensed number plate that Connor’s managed to narrow down to a national park in Canada, spanning over 2500 square miles. And now you’re suggesting that I take the only android detective in the DPD, on an undercover sting operation, completely blind, with little to no back-up or communication, to a remote location, where we’ll pretend this bucket of bolts is not only a perfectly functional human-being, but also my son, in order to infiltrate and expose what might either be the world’s most fanatic robot-enthusiast, or a cult dedicated to the android eradication.”
Captain Fowler crosses his arms and reclines back into his chair as the information settles in each of their minds.
“Yeah, that about covers it. Any more questions?”
(Based after the survivors/moral victory pacifist ending because that"s self-care)

Summary
The ‘Blue Screen of Death’ is the error that often displays after a very serious system crash.
Heat build-up can damage an Androids hardware or cause it to become unstable and show a BSoD, often becoming irreparably damaged in the process. Newer models will often shut down and refuse to operate if it reaches a potentially unsafe level of heat so it may be recoverable in the future.Series
