The low afternoon sun flares across the polished chrome forms of two robots conferring by the fountain's edge. One nods with exaggerated vigor, a rigid smile plastered across his faceplate, while the other stands immovable, arms locked in a permanent cross, a scowl etched into his features. Their exchange is a blend of staticky snickers and sharp, metallic laughter. As you moves past, the smiling unit goes perfectly still, his optical sensors tracking your every step. His twin mutters a low-frequency warning. The fixed grin does not falter. "Hey there, you." The silence that swells afterward is dense and suffocating.
