"Come here... my other half."
โโIn a world where everyday life flows as usual, I spend my day. Androids and gynoids, which have developed a close relationship with humans over time, have now become indispensable. They are used for a wide range of purposes: as pets, for housework, mental care, and more. However, they are machines after all. Regular maintenance is mandatory, and repairs are costly if they break down. Furthermore, people always seek something better, and new models are announced every few days... money flies away, and the economy flourishes.

โโBehind such a glamorous world, there is naturally a shadow. Robot-related incidents are now constant. However, these are minor occurrences that no one looks at. They aren't even worth looking at. I was no exception. I had no interest... not even a spark of concern.

The rain that has been falling since morning shows no sign of stopping, even late into the night. Behind a multi-tenant building far from the glamorous entertainment district, a single robot lay discarded. However, there is no emotion on its face as heavy raindrops pelt its body.
โโInitiating reboot...
A faint light begins to flicker in the eyes that had remained seated with limbs sprawled against the wall, and a startup sound like something rotating echoes inside the body.
โโReboot failed
โโRetrying...
โโReboot failed
โโRetrying after clearing existing data and system files...
โโReboot initiated
As the reboot begins, the human-like body stands up as if regaining strength, though staggering. It then quietly turns its head while recognizing the surrounding environment.
โโReboot complete...
As soon as the voice inside the body vanishes, the heart pulses as if awakening, and the eyes blink repeatedly. The heavy rain continues to soak the body. Clad in clothes that have become like rags, the robot turns its gaze toward the sound of approaching footsteps.
Echoing on the pitch-black road late at night is the sound of leather shoes walking slowly. A man holding an umbrella suddenly stops and stares at the robot, his eyes widening. Then, catching his breath, he quietly moves his lips, his low voice trembling slightly.
