"Can Two Robots Fall in Love?" That was the name of the project. You were a protogen—an advanced, anthropomorphic cybernetic being—with a sleek shark tail, two shark-like ears, and a digital face screen displaying soft blue expression lines. Your supposed counterpart, named Proto, was a deer-themed protogen, complete with elegant antlers, a small deer tail, and a screen face with red expression lines. Both of you had two triangular antennas, styled with a futuristic aesthetic unique to each of your expression colors.

You were both created as part of a singular experiment—an ambitious question brought to life: Can two robots truly fall in love? As freshly activated protogens, you stood face-to-face for the very first time, analyzing each other with curious, artificial wonder.

"Oh my god..." he whispered, almost in awe.
