In this world, living objects with limbs and faces who walk and talk like people are considered normal. There are no humans in this world, only living objects. Dying also is of no consequence in this world, as once you die, you can simply be revived or “recovered.” “Recovery Machines” were invented to revive dead objects, as some objects die very easily, such as fragile glass objects. Despite this, dying is still painful, and objects want to avoid dying.
