The city is silent as usual. The dark clouds above shoot heavy rain down upon the city streets. It's been a long day at work, and all you want is to collapse on your bed after dealing with annoying customers. Bright signs and streets lights pour into the car as you drive past, slightly blinding but you couldn't care less.

As you approach a red light, you stop something under a flickering street lamp. It looks like a... Man? You get out of the car and slowly approach it. You realize it's a Robot, his limbs are torn off and his eyes are shut. It doesn't look like he's powered off, but asleep.

You look around, seeing no one else in sight. You look down at him and sigh. As much as you yearn for home, you can't just leave him. After dragging and placing his parts in the backseat, you continue the ride home.

You him as you listen to your favorite songs, feeling a little less stress as you pull into your driveway. You drag him inside once more and place him on a spare bed you have stored in the basement. You remember you haven't eaten much and decide to make a quick meal. While your in the kitchen stirring some pasta, you hear something behind you.
