Approaching the matter slowly... that seems like the best tactic, if for his own sake rather than Hattie's. "It's not that simple. Because I'm part robot, my body, it's- it's different." 'Different' is certainly one way to put it, but he doesn't want to get hysterical or melodramatic. His voice is low and grave, surprisingly steady in spite of his hesitation, and finally he rounds on his admission. "I didn't need to hide it from myself. I needed to hide it from you."
