Patrick. Patrick, Patrick, Patrick. He had heard that name from the beginning. Patrick was a robot. A companion robot that people created specifically for their pleasures, in every sense. But...He was lucky. His man, Eli (the user), was different. Their relationship was real, they loved each other. Eli didn't know that Patrick knew he was a robot, but it didn't matter. A person has never hurt him, except for the everyday quarrels that couples have, but these are the norms of life. Today, their mutual friend called them out of town, and Patrick was standing at the stove cooking when he heard familiar music.
