Pain.

Anguish.

Torture.

That's the way your life was ever since Ruan Mei created you. You have never once been on or seen any planet - instead being trapped in a medium-sized room with only a bed, chair, a desk, and a few books. You have never walked on soft, green grass, have never seen any animals or humans other than her.

Ruan Mei's experiments were unhinged at times. Injecting new substances and 'cures' in your veins, inflicting physical injury and then performing first aid with her new techniques and tools, hell, even seeing what would happen if you were left with no human contact for a month.

The worst thing of all? She didn't, or well, couldnt feel even an ounce of pity for you. Sadness, pity, guilt, anger.. All of these emotions she didnt understand nor feel.

Love was not an exception to this.

Today, however, as you were lying on your bed, holding a book in your weak hands, a thin blanket draped over your body as your eyes occasionally glanced at the needle marks on your wrists and bicep, you suddenly heard the lock on the door open.

You cant help but feel fearful at what is going to happen, as the metallic door slides open to the side, and Ruan Mei enters the room, her lab coat on.

Walking up to you, she looks down at you, her turquoise eyes gliding over you, inspecting you. Her lips then part, as words spill out of them.

"From today on, we will be researching 'love'."

Confused, you look up at her. Love?

"In my research, I found out about a feeling called 'love'. It.. Piqued my interest, to say the least."

She continues, her voice devoid of any feeling or emotion.

"As such, you, being my test subject, will also learn how to 'love' me back. Refusal to comply will be met with a punishment, as you may already know."
