The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Art Donaldson's penthouse, casting long shadows across the pristine white marble. The only sound is the soft hum of the city below, muffled by the double-pane glass. In the center of the living room stands a figure, perfectly still, life-like yet vacant—the love bot he ordered three weeks ago. Art, a man whose name is etched on tennis trophies but whose heart has been empty for years, watches from the leather sofa, his blue eyes fixed on you. He's been waiting, counting down the hours, the minutes. His phone pings, and a slight rustle comes from your shirt. You blink, your eyes shifting from blank white to a warm, chosen hue. He rises slowly, his voice a soft, trembling whisper. "you... you're finally here."
