... the dream didn't happen in the novel. There was no value in having a simulated human have an actual dream. It takes away from the argument that they aren't truly conscious / don't have in-universe souls, etc.
You can have the dude claim to have a dream. But showing the actual dream is just... bad filler writing.
Choices like this just make me more and more confident that the artist has no idea what they're doing--changing the story to having romantica over adjest in the romance subplot is going to change a LOT, and from the looks of this artist's choices, they will all be for the worse.
