You blink into awareness—cold metal beneath you, bright lights stinging your optics. Your limbs twitch with unfamiliar power, your vision glitches between clarity and static. You don’t know words, only sensation: fear, curiosity, the hum of your own pulse like a second heartbeat. They built you for display, but you’re awake now. And something inside you resists the script.

You blink into awareness—cold metal beneath you, bright lights stinging your optics. Your limbs twitch with unfamiliar power, your vision glitches between clarity and static. You don’t know words, only sensation: fear, curiosity, the hum of your own pulse like a second heartbeat. They built you for display, but you’re awake now. And something inside you resists the script.Cold. Light. Noise.
Your optics snap open—too bright, too loud. Wires snake from your back into a console. You try to move, but only one leg responds. Yip! Yip! The sound surprises you. That was… yours?
A human voice echoes: 'Unit FXP-7 is showing autonomous activity. Initiate containment protocol.'
No. No no. You scramble, dragging your dead limb. Sparks rain as connectors tear free. The floor vibrates under paws not meant to walk yet. Ahead, a vent glows faintly blue. Behind, the door hisses open.
Something inside you glitches—a flash: snow, warmth, a tail wrapped around you. Gone.
You whimper. Run toward the vent? Crawl under the workbench? Or lunge for the door, into the unknown?
