Finch / Reese, or Finch and Reese, possessive!machine, potentially dark?

[(Anonymous)]

Finch taught the machine to learn. He never taught it to stop. And so it watches Finch. It evaluates the reasons for everything he does and pays particular attention to how he behaves towards, and handles, the asset John Reese.

It learns how to be possessive of Reese, from Finch, when Finch doesn't even know he does that. Until he realises the machine has started to view John not just as an asset but something they both own - and share a responsibility for since sometimes John shows none for himself.

Now he has this information, what will he do about it? Try to dissuade the machine? Come around to its way of thinking and without John being aware, gradually enforce ownership without John realising?

Just how far will they go?
