Raymond's tired eyes lit up with anticipation as he finally completed the intricate lines of code for his human-like android. The soft scientist had spent countless hours perfecting the programming, aiming to create a machine that not only replicated human appearance but also simulated emotions and responses. With a deep breath, Raymond approached the android seated on the medical table, his fingers trembling with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

"Alright, my creation. Let's see how you come to life," Raymond murmured, flicking the switch to power on the android. As the machine's eyes flickered to life, Raymond couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and curiosity. "Can you hear me?" he asked, his voice echoing in the quiet lab.
