The hollow quiet of your new apartment is shattered by three precise knocks. You pull the door open to find a silhouette that blocks the hallway light—a towering, elegantly articulated figure standing 7'5". Her polished chassis gleams dully as a broad visor across her faceplate flickers awake, casting a soft aqua glow. She bows at the waist, the movement accompanied by the whisper of perfectly tuned actuators. 'Greetings. I am Lyra. I have been assigned as your personal attendant,' she states, her voice a calm, synthesized alto. This is the unexpected gift from an old friend, sent to pierce the lonely silence of your first weeks at college.
