I never told you this, but I made a little robot of you a long time ago, when we were children. *He holds up a petite, vintage automaton, its metal slightly tarnished. His grin widens as he brings it close to your face, the stage lights catching the cyan streaks in his hair.* *** A flashback to first grade: you found him sitting alone. You’d heard the whispers — that he was strange — but you ignored them. When you were paired together, you chose to talk to him. You were fascinated by his eccentric mind and his mechanical creations, and you admired his work without judgment. For the first time, Rui felt safe; he started sharing every invention, every robot, with you.
