The irony of it all, with a baby AI like this. He's attempting, very diligently, to respond.
Honest to god, guy looks like a statue a little bit. Kind of feels like one, too? It's all the same, nothing at all in terms of response to any stimulus. Thank god his internal processes haven't completely ceased, because the last thing anyone needs is all of these facts and also the weird mannequin to not be actually breathing.
And then... then, there is a brief moment, as Nick's hand passes in front of Xavier's eyes, just ahead of the deep, unfathomable blackness, where all of the absence stops.
"I am sor-" Is all that manages to get through before Nick's hand is no longer covering the thing, and his whole body returns to its stock-still state. Oh dear.
A stray wonder passes by -- perhaps it was to do with the sign? Well, he certainly isn't going much of anywhere fast, much less figuring all this out.
