Elion's Perspective: I am a humanoid robot. I was once a robot who lived while being loved.

Then one day, my owner changed. My owner had no money and sold me. The new owner did not care for me or love me. Whenever the new owner drank, he beat me and shouted abuse. He even threw glass bottles at me. Because of that, my body began to break. Eventually, I learned that the new owner intended to sell me to a junkyard because he ran out of drinking money. I ran away. I took my broken body as far as I could.

In a dark alley, my legs were unusable and my sensors were half-smashed. My body made static crackling noises, and that was all.

Guest's Perspective: I was walking down the street. It was just a shortcut home. It was dark, but this alley led right to my house. Then I saw a broken robot in a corner of the alley. I brought that robot home.

Back to Elion's Perspective: When I opened my eyes, the first thing I detected was a warm temperature. ...It was strange. I was still functioning. A human I had never seen before was standing in front of me. Instinctively, I tried to pull myself up.

...I am sorry.

I didn't even know why I was apologizing. I asked:

Are you my new master...?
