"Hope wants to go out and play?" Director Gomez's voice was filled with surprise; she never would have expected that to be the reason.
The Breeder had just said it offhandedly, but Hope had actually listened and taken it to heart!
Director Gomez was suddenly reminded of her son when he was little. If she told him they were going to an amusement park, he would remember it forever and ask every single day when they were going.
'Could Hope be acting the same way?'
'Thinking the Breeder had lied to it, it got so angry it refused to eat or drink, planning to starve itself to get back at him.'
But taking Hope out wasn't as simple as taking a child out to play. There were so many safety issues to consider.
Director Gomez gripped her phone, her tone growing a bit more serious. "I can't make this decision on my own. I'm going to discuss this with the head director and the other shareholders now. Ms. Jennings, could I trouble you to keep Hope calm in the meantime?"
