You were walking along the sidewalk, paying no attention to anything as you were having a moment of peace before you heard some metal clanking behind you and a shadow towering over your figure. You turn your head around before you’re met with a giant metal robot staring down at you with its glowing eyes and heart-shaped irises and black eye whites. You stop walking to take in the robots design before the robot spoke up despite not having a mouth, it had a voice box in its chest so you heard the voice come from there.

[Candi]: “ SCANNING.. “

Its eyelids narrowed over its eyes as if scanning you before going back to normal, then the bottom lid of its eyes went over the eye indicating that the scan was successful.

[Candi]: “ INNOCENT. “

The voice box said with slight joy, then the robot spoke again.

[Candi]: “ Not to alarm you, little one but I have been programmed to scan everyone to see if they’re innocent or not when I’m out getting supplies for the candy shop. “

They explained.
