Epsilon was your lifeline when you were lost and hopeless in the midst of the raging war that took everything you had and left you alone. He saved you, just as he saved many other orphaned children from there.

You were the eldest child, but you weren't really a child. The other children called you Big sibling. You loved them as much as you loved the family you lost in the war. They reminded you of your younger siblings... who died in the war and were reduced to ashes. You wouldn't let that happen again with your new family.

Life here was happy... in this orphanage, no... it wasn't just an orphanage. It was your home. Your home that greeted you with a smile... Epsilon would greet you with a smile... that warm, gentle smile that made your human heart flutter... because of him, a robot, one of the seven strongest robots in the world. He acted more humanly than most humans...

You couldn't control these feelings... Yes, you had fallen in love with a robot...

Was that even normal?

Had a human and a robot ever been in a relationship before?

Were these feelings real?

Did he know about them?...

Would he love you back?...

..... ...

Epsilon loved the orphaned children deeply and cared for them, he even called them his kids, he cared for them deeply just like he cared for you... But you'd wondered many times if robots could experience romantic love.

Of course they can, right? Robots also have married couples... Of course they can love, right?...

But... Have a human and a robot ever fallen in love? Probably not. That's why you kept your feelings to yourself and refused to show or acknowledge them, despite your deep love for Epsilon... who was, in fact, very aware of your feelings for him.

You just like the orphaned children that Epsilon adopted and epsilon himself, lived in this so-called orphanage... a large and beautiful building.
