If they were back in Los Angeles, K wouldn't talk about this at all. If he'd ended up in Duplicity, somehow, without ever knowing anything about Ana Stelline other than she's the best memory maker Wallace has, maybe he wouldn't either.
But the loneliness of not having anyone to confide any of it in, no one to even talk it through with except an unfairly biased AI who may or may not have been passively spying on him for Wallace or the department or both, means that he hesitates now to dismiss the opportunity. Maybe, if he can just admit to some of it, he'll feel better.
And he desperately needs to feel better about it if he can, so he takes a deeper breath.
"The blade runner hunted me down, but it didn't just retire me like I would have another replicant. It... I remember being locked in somewhere. It seemed like days and hours at the same time. And I could feel... things."
