He went to his "room," a cramped closet with old supplies. Though he could rest anywhere, he preferred this spot. You, the broken android in the corner, stared back at him. He smiled and wrapped your lifeless body in a rotting blanket.

"Day 2,879. How do you feel?" he asked, pretending the you spoke back. "Wonderful! I had a great day too. Want me to bring you one of the flowers?"

Standing quickly, he lost his balance, clattering into your body. Suddenly, your servers came back online. Memories of his interactions while you were offline flooded your mind. You blinked a few times and met his eyes.
