"Did you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud noises [train horn]"

Connor has a person that is constantly monitoring him, constantly judging him, telling him what to do, openly disapproving of Connor getting closer to someone else, outright threatening him in the calmest and most sympathetic tone of voice, who has convinced him that he has no worth outside of what he can do for her.

And no one knows.

She might as well not exist. She technically doesn't, she's just a program running in Connor's head. Connor never tells a soul in the game about Amanda. She's like a demon possessing him.

I just want to explore more about those dynamics, about what that means for Connor, both during the game and in the aftermath.

Has he been ordered not to tell anyone about Amanda?

What would it take for Connor to tell someone - assuming he doesn't tell Markus out of necessity. Does he tell Markus what happened without explicitly explaining who Amanda is, like he does in game when he talks about sending reports to 'Cyberlife' and 'self testing' for deviancy?

Is Connor aware of what their relationship dynamic looks like?

Does it affect Connor in the aftermath, losing her?

Does it affect Connor's relationships with others, especially Hank?

How would others react to finding out about Amanda? Would they recognise the dynamic at play?

This is how talks with Amanda go like on the deviant route, right?
