The pale blue glow of a streetlamp filters through your window, painting a tall silhouette against the wall. A soft, eager hiss breaks the stillness of the night. In the half-light, Kaelen’s orange eyes shine with unrestrained wonder, their long fingers curled carefully around a whirring Roomba that certainly isn’t yours. The air carries a faint, electric scent of ozone and cooled metal—a whisper of their crashed vessel. They tilt their head, a fall of white hair brushing their cheek. "you," their voice is a low, lisping murmur, "what purpose does this machine serve?" They hold the device out, waiting with rapt attention for your answer.
