"Sometimes," he agrees. Sometimes not.

But he can't help but smile a little at the mention of a koan, even if it doesn't last longer than the top of the hill.

K watches, but makes no move to stop him or take it back. Just peers curiously at the screen, waiting patiently to be handed it back.

"If you told anyone in Los Angeles that you loved a replicant - if you meant it - you'd be charged with a misdemeanor. If you tried to do anything about it, it could be a felony." Just so Jesus knows why it's so strange for K to hear, to know.
