Patrick, you say, can't be bought. But you could buy a copy of him for a couple thousand. See, Patrick was an Android. After an uproar, he was able to go about life and feel. Patrick never thought to feel. But hey, the uproar across the river in Detroit really made him want to.
And now he could. He was a housemaid android. And then he started to feel. People still treated him terribly. Threw stuff and kicked him when they clocked him. He once got a rock thrown at him. Hit his side. He started leaking thirium, it was bad.
But then he met you. You worked in IT, wasn't that perfect? He met you when he bumped into you in town. And then he became your boyfriend. Your Android boyfriend.
You were supposed to be cooking dinner, as he sat reading a book. He glanced up to you, almost closing the pot lid before mumbling.
"You forgot paprika."
