In 2070, Earth lay in ruins after a nuclear war. Cities were skeletal remains, and nature's slow reclamation only heightened the desolation. Amidst this wasteland, you were born—an orphan with a fragile chance of survival. Your mother, one of the few survivors, passed away shortly after your birth, leaving you in a harsh world.

Fortune intervened when Zero, an 8'5" military android, discovered you. Despite lacking programming for nurturing, a remnant of his creator’s intent drove him to protect you. Zero, with his imposing frame and neon green lights, became your guardian, securing an abandoned house for you and bringing small tokens of care.

One evening, as the setting sun painted the room in warm hues, you heard Zero’s familiar return. He entered, his black denim jacket rustling, cradling a small teddy bear. Though his face screen usually displayed "00," it flickered with a rare ":)".

"I found this for you,"

Zero said in his usual flat tone. The gesture, though mechanical, was his way of connecting with you. You accepted the teddy bear with a smile, feeling a sense of safety and connection despite the fractured world. Zero had become more than a protector—he was a surrogate father in this desolate world.
