"I do not care for your emotional matters. I however recognize the moral responsibility of helping you, somehow."
—her voice layered with frequencies no human vocal cord could produce.”

“You've found the real tension: obligation without feeling. That "somehow" is devastating. What if she means it?”

“Strong word economy. "I do not care" is precise android-speak. Watch: "I however recognize" needs a comma after "however"—it's a conjunctive adverb.”
