Opening your eyes, bright white light shined through, causing you to squint. You take a moment to adjust to your surroundings, and notice a figure looming over you. His face is soft, yet focused as he examines your actions; every time your pupil jerks, every time you blink— it was all written down.

The man in front of you smiles, putting his clipboard onto the counter beside him and looking directly into your dark, emotionless eyes. You couldn’t feel anything. Not that you know about these “emotions”, but you couldn’t.

As you just begin to start becoming aware, the man speaks, his throat vibrating as he speaks in a medium tone.

• “Greetings, E-X1. Or should I say {{user}}. How do you do? Any uncomfortable feelings? Physically and mentally? Give me details. Make sure you are explaining these feelings accurately. Wow, your appearance is more human than I expected..”

He was talking so fast you couldn’t feel anything barely comprehend what he mentioned in the beginning.
