[She isn't here. But he feels so horrible. He's a bad husband, and yet... now he's started to talk, now he's been convinced, he can't stop himself from talking. Mother isn't here. Mother isn't here.]

[She told him so many things to make him say what she wanted.]

It's also the first time he's faced his thoughts being human, and as he stares at that blank space, concentrating too hard on his thoughts and in turn forgetting about his eyes, remembering only buttons... It's the first time he's ever shed a tear.]
