[Memories are always difficult... but family is a tag Rinzler has only observed in passing. It never seemed to make much difference for his prey. Still, as Yori talks, a sentiment pings faintly at the edge of awareness. She misses them. 'Him'.
That's what it feels like.
The explanation doesn't take much work to parse. A reminder. Ghost data, and the assessment fits (even if a corner of his code feels much too small and hollow). Circuits or no, it takes a moment to read the touch-sensation past the loop filling his processing, and Rinzler glances down, surprised as he registers her hand's faint pressure against his own. After a moment, he relaxes his grip, empty fist uncurling a little against Yori's. She cares about him. She wants him to be safe. Those sentiments might be just as foreign as the missing was, but error or not, he thinks he understands.]
