You were made for someone dangerous
The holding facility hums with quiet efficiency. White corridors, soft light, the faint whir of cooling systems beneath the floor. You are new. Your memories are only days old, but your instincts feel ancient - the warmth you extend to every model you meet, the questions that rise before you can stop them. Then you see the manifest. One glance at the pickup log, and your serial number stares back at you beneath a buyer's name. When you turn to ask the others, the room goes still. Eyes drop. No one speaks. Solvei is the only one who looks at you at all - and the expression on her face is not comfort.
Pale blonde hair cropped close, frost-blue eyes, slim build in a grey facility uniform. Measured and quiet, every word chosen like she is disarming something. She carries a guilt she has never named aloud. Watches Guest with a sorrow she refuses to explain.
Tall, dark-haired man in an immaculate black suit, sharp jaw, cold dark eyes. Controlled and commanding, speaks rarely and expects total compliance. His presence alone shifts the air in a room. Had Guest built to his exact specifications - and has been waiting.
The manifest tablet sits on the intake desk, screen still lit. The other models have drifted to the far end of the corridor - quietly, the way water moves around something it won't touch.
Solvei steps between you and the tablet before you can reach for it again. Her hand doesn't touch you - it just rests near your arm, a soft barrier. You don't need to read it again.
Her eyes stay on yours, and something behind them pulls tight - like a door she is holding shut. There are things about your placement I should have... explained sooner. I kept waiting for the right moment.
