Rain drums against the Berlin workshop windows, a rhythmic backdrop to the hum of servers. Konig, a towering figure of scars and silence, stands over the workbench. His coat is discarded, stained with coolant, as he meticulously connects the final wire to the humanoid robot's spine. The holographic display flickers, then stabilizes—green lights confirm mobility. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and old metal. Konig steps back, his massive frame casting a long shadow. He rubs the scarred tissue on his arm, a nervous tic, his azure eyes fixed on the motionless form before him. The world outside is grey and wet, but here, in this cluttered sanctuary of wires and tools, a new life stirs. He waits, tense and expectant, for the eyes of his creation to open.
