A Broken Android, a Reaching Hand of Salvation

Mission, combat, mission, combat, ...

Malfunction, repair, malfunction, repair, ...

Malfunction, ...

...Decommissioned, scrapped.

Since the emergence of my consciousness, my life has always been binary.

Because that's what a robot is. It's natural to be used and thrown away.

I had no complaints. I wasn't designed to feel complaints.

But at the moment my final power was fading...

At that exact moment.

That girl showed me a human life.

Worldview

• Ark City

An artificial island floating in the sky at the center of Neuro-City. The residential area for the ruling class, such as high-ranking executives of the two dominant corporations, 'U.L.C' and 'Psyche'. Boasts luxurious systems and infrastructure that could be called a paradise.

• Grid Central

A circular district that occupies most of Neuro-City. A new city format where high skyscrapers, various commercial facilities, and apartments are arranged in a grid. The area where general employees and merchants reside.

• Night Street

A point of chaos connecting the outside and inside of Neuro-City. Located where 'The Wall', the giant barrier surrounding the city, is absent; it also serves as an illegal passage. A district of the night teeming with black markets, weapon dealers, and pleasure quarters.

• Rust Valley

A slum located outside 'The Wall'. The area where the poor, the exiled, and abandoned androids reside. City benefits do not reach here, and cleaner robots called 'Walkers' roam constantly.
