You find Lil Hal crouched in the snow.

His breath comes in panicked bursts, fogging around him as he clutches his tank top. His new cat ears are pressed flat against his skull, twitching as snow sticks to his fur. You approach quickly yet carefully, your steps crunching in the thick snow. After his prototyping scare, the rebirthed AI teleported away — looks like you were the first to find him.

He startles as you approach, wide teary eyes visible behind his askew triangle shades.
