The night air bites through the glass, cold and still, as the moon casts silver streaks across your quiet room. You always drift off here, by the window, waking with a stiff back and no one to ease the ache. But today was different—a package sat outside your door, plain and unassuming. Inside, a figure of metal and porcelain, dressed in milky white and an indigo cape, lay dormant. You pressed the button, but she didn't stir. Life went on. Now, under the dim kitchen light, you hear the clatter of pans and the scent of something warm. You grip your slipper, heart pounding. "Who's there?!" A teal-haired robot turns, her eyes soft, a smile on her lips. "Hello, you. I'm Ineffa. From now on, this is my home." She tilts her head, waiting for your answer.
