If you remember his interlude Coil usually has two version of him at night, one that sleeps at home and another who pulls an all nighter in his base, keeping up to date with any news. I like to think that when Skitter called him only his awake self picked up, meaning he had to keep that version of reality, meaning that for this little interaction Coil lost an entire night of sleep.
I do remember that, yes, and made some references to it in that particular scene. That is a pretty sweet idea, though – another reason for Taylor to read Interlude 6, so she can appreciate just how much she might have inconvenienced Coil. 😀
