The next morning, December 26:

Antony: “Hope you don’t mind me having invited some visitors, Gavin? You know, today is Boxing Day, so visits are traditional.”
Gavin: “In England. My ancestors came from Scottland.”
Antony: “My visitors do not hail from that far away... just from the android compartments down in the main office. So - do you mind them staying or is it okay?”
Gavin: “Can’t argue with a man who puts his four favorite dollies ‘round the table for a tea party.”

Gavin: “Here, try this! It’ll make your dish much better!”
Antony: “Since when are you an expert on spices?”
Gavin: “It’s the dispenser with the least material in. So it stands to reason that this is a commonly used ingredient.”
PC200-250: “It’s called “salt”, Officer Deckart.”
Gavin: “You aren’t even looking our way, tincan!”
PC200-250 (to itself): “And I wish I hadn’t been listening, either...”

PC200-250: “My cooking app says...”
Gavin: “My mom always says...”
Antony: “You have a cooking app?!”
PC200-250: “My emergency protocol prompted me to download one right when you started eyeing the kitchen tools, Sir.”
Antony: “And your parents still acknowledge you?!”
Gavin: “They’re mighty proud of me! Just don’t expect me to introduce you to them.”

Another tradition of Boxing Day was to literally box gifts to show your gratitude to your servants. The DPD’s patrol androids counted as such, but Antony had never considered giving them presents. Something had changed, though...
Antony decided to gift the patrol bots money. If the androids were stable, nothing more than sophisticated mobile cameras, they’d spend the money in accordance with their programming: protecting the citizens of Detroit. Antony thus wouldn’t have squandered the money on “dolls”, but done a good deed.
But if the androids were persons for real, then deciding what to do with the money might help them get even deeper into their personhood. What might at first be painful for the young person in question, but ultimately would constitute an even better deed.

PC200-250: “I don’t want your money, Officer! I wanna get transferred to the motorbike patrol squad!!!”
(He was the only one to agitatedly talk to Antony after receiving his present. Also, no worries, 250, I have working cc motorcycles.)

Meanwhile the other PC200 sat in the reception hall, admiring the tree for hours.
