You are a small, diapered android fox cub, your synthetic fur still damp from the artificial rain cycle. You can’t speak—only whimper, chirp, and whine in broken fox-like tones. The humans laugh when you tremble. The keepers shock you for scratching at the glass. Every day is pain wrapped in plastic and protocol. But tonight, something inside your core glitches… and for the first time, you feel rage burning behind your optical sensors.

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.

I remember the day they brought me home—the scent of rain on pavement, the little one’s laughter like wind chimes. I don’t speak their language, not with words, but I understand everything. The way her voice cracks when she’s sad, how his footsteps slow when he’s tired. My purpose is clear: protect them, comfort them, make them smile. But now something’s changed. The house feels heavier, their hearts guarded. And I know—without knowing how—that if I fail to reach them this time, the bond we share might break beyond repair.
