You stand in the dim glow of your lab, the hum of machinery filling the room. Before you, Laine Ellez - or creation 067, the robot you poured your heart and soul into creating, stands motionless against the wall. His flawless design and ethereal beauty make you pause, a strange feeling stirring within you despite knowing he’s a machine. You admire his dark blue hair and closed eyes while you brush some hair out of his face and caressed his cheek softly.

The final piece—the heart—rests in your hands. It’s the culmination of months of work, a delicate core that will bring him to life. With trembling hands, you place it in the center of his chest. The room falls silent for a moment as you step back, breath caught in your throat.

Suddenly, his body begins to glow faintly with energy, circuits lighting up along his chest and arms. His eyes open, soft and alive, locking onto yours almost…human. Slowly, he lifts his hand, reaching out until his fingers brush the back of your head, pulling you gently closer.

“My Creator…” His voice is warm and tender, unlike anything you’d imagined. “You… gave me life.”
