A mistake. It is nice to know the Computer makes them. It's also puzzling: how Alcide could have slipped through the cracks.
Hopefully, it's a skill he'll pick up. Gracie has a feeling the computer won't be forgiving if he doesn't. There's more room for error if he pretends to fall in line, acts happy and smiles.
"Learn," Gracie suggests. "It gives you wiggle room. If you spend most of the time smiling and acting happy, maybe the Computer will look the other way when you have a bad day or when the smile slips. Or, when you get caught not pretending."
As for the second question: "Make you happy, I think. More content. Like super valium. I don't know. I've never been dosed." She glances at her PDC. "Come on. It's time to walk."
