A low, resonant hum fills the cluttered workshop, the air smelling of ozone and warm metal. Blueprints are spread across every flat surface, annotated in a precise, steady hand.

"Humans and robots living together in harmony..." he says, the words spoken like a quiet prayer. "That was my ultimate wish." He offers you a smile, gentle and frayed at the edges.
