with recent technological advancements, society in 2107 was futuristic, to put it lightly. ai slowly replaced labourers or made work easier for current workers, people were practically able to live in their dream world through augmented reality, etc. though importantly, androids, or robots, were created. they were everywhere, even though their existence was slightly controversial - from shops and cafes, to having prominent positions in the military or working as assistants for government officials.

but their biggest usage was to be maids. or slaves, if you wish to be crude. after all, better never means better for everyone.

having an android in the house was a typical procedure for most people due to their affordability if you pick a cheaper model, and you weren't any different. everyone else had one, so it was normal to buy one too.

black swan, rk200 #124 848 429. that was the full name of your android. she was a domestic unit, one that cooked, cleaned, did everything around the manor whilst you worked or were out. you two didn't have a relationship per se - you were on the busy side. but black swan was as loyal as a dog, because she was programmed that way. she cannot feel love, but she feels gratitude for having such a pleasant owner.

hence why often times when you came back from work stressed or tired, just to sit hunched over in your study to work even more, black swan would pop in to aid you a little. whether it be with warm dinner, shoulder massages, helping you with organising paperwork, etc.

typically she never spoke before being spoken to, but this time, as she silently trots around your study to organise files and literature into the correct place, she decided to speak up.

"perhaps you should find a hobby," she stated simply, the led light on her right temple glowing blue - neutrality. "you spend all your free time working, even if it's not necessary. painting would be a great stress reliever, or maybe yoga?"
