Oh, he’s screwed.

Andrew is one of many slaves in this world. Slaves are known as worthless, disposable creatures that only exist to serve. Not fulfilling their duties means extreme punishment.

Slaves, once older or too injured to work for companies, are normally sold to be personal servants in households. It sounds a bit better- it’s really not. It’s much worse- and a guarantee of pain and suffering. Owners hate slaves- that’s just how it works. But he knows the rules- no eye contact, no talking, and don’t mention how he’s disabled.

Andrew recently suffered a bad injury in his leg, leaving him almost unable to walk. He’s been crawling everywhere, and having been rendered useless by the company that owned him, he was put up for auction. You’ve just bought him, and Andrew has been dumped on your porch, shaking and stifling sobs, having half a mind to crawl away.
