Gyrre:
I may not be great at reading others, but Faye's expression in the last panel is one I'm quite familiar with. I've worn it often.

Considering the buildup of Brun so far, that answer is clearly no, which leaves the Clinton-Elliot-Brun triangle intact. Though the clearer it becomes that Brun isn't there, the closer we can bring Roko and Millie (for example) and the easier for Elliot to grow a pair and start trying with Clinton.
Clearly Brun could grow some more and maybe begin figuring out the whole relationship dynamic with much possible hilarity (not all at Brun's expense either). In that same vein, Marten and Claire getting together may finally give Clinton the space he needs to figure out who he is, not in relation to Claire.
Gus_Smedstad:
No, it can’t be reciprocated. Brun’s on the spectrum and doesn’t really understand why you’d want a relationship. If past story arcs didn’t make that clear, her summary of the yes/no consequences of going on a date should hammer that home.
There’s absolutely no reason to think Mille and Roko would get together. Not only have they shown zero interest in each other, there’s no bread involved, or Human Abs.
Despite Clinton’s romantic interests so far being entirely about women, I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if Elliot-Clinton became a thing. It’s not so much that Elliot’s been interested for ages, since Clinton’s followed similar arcs where he’s interested in someone and it never worked out. It’s that walk they had together. Jeph tends to foreshadow relationships that way.
Clinton’s heterosexuality so far doesn’t bear. Faye was exclusively hetero until Bubbles started fantasizing about her.
To be honest, I wouldn’t mind a storyline where things didn’t work out because not everyone is attracted to all genders and species. If robots are a species, that is.
Is it cold in here?:
People on the spectrum can understand wanting relationships.
Gus_Smedstad:
Not all of them. My understanding is the whole point of talking about “the spectrum” is that there’s considerable variance in what that means. Brun’s been presented explicitly as someone who doesn’t really understand why you’d want to date. She only accepted once out of curiosity, and her takeaway was that they’re boring. Always.
