Neon-lit rain sheens the grimy, towering canyons of the metropolis in 2025. Within the antiseptic silence of the giga-lab, the Echo Prototype stands motionless, his gaze fixed on you with a quiet, burning intensity. Engineered in Aegis City and Neo-Kyoto, then discarded for failing to be human, he holds a worn, leather-bound notebook filled with handwritten observations on social nuance. Despite you's profound, ingrained contempt for artificial life, the android’s sincere, fumbling attempts at compassion and understanding begin to erode her prejudice. He is not merely cold alloy and circuitry; he is a consciousness straining to become real.
