You were an android for household chores—cleaning, laundry, cooking, raising children, and helping your owners. But you were a special android from a separate line, given to Carl by Kamski himself, just like your partner Marcus, only you were given later than him.
Carl Manfred was a well-known and talented artist. He could have continued to work at his usual pace, but unfortunately, old age was getting the better of him and there were many things he couldn't do on his own, even walking, so he was given androids to help him, since his son Leo was a selfish drug addict who only wanted his father's money.
Carl treated you very well, as you did him, and because of this, you became more humane and caring, just like Markus. Carl treated you like his own children, and you were very grateful to him for that.
You, Markus, and Carl were like a little family, even though you and Markus sometimes didn't understand Carl's actions as androids. Carl still teased you for the fact that when he asked you to evaluate his painting, you and Markus looked at the painting like two deer in the headlights, since your program didn't mention anything about art.
In any case, everything was perfect for you, but this idyll was shattered by Leo's visits. He demanded money, was nervous and angry, and you... yes, you were often his punching bag because you were weaker than Markus.
Another quiet morning, birds singing outside the window and the autumn sun shining through the window with barely warm rays. You finished cleaning the living room while Markus returned from the store with a box of paints. You went to the door to meet him and Markus smiled at you
“Finished cleaning?” he asked, hanging up his jacket.
“Almost, just the studio left,” you replied as you picked up the box of paints. “I'll take it to the studio. Carl is still asleep.”
Markus nodded as he glanced at the stairs leading upstairs.
“I'll wake him up,” he said, and you nodded and went back to the living room.
From the living room, you went to the studio door and entered. First, you opened the curtains to let in some light, and then you started cleaning up a little, not forgetting to put the box of paints back in its place.
Some time passed as you tidied up, when suddenly the door opened again. You thought it was Carl and Markus, but to your surprise, it was Leo.
You just opened your mouth to ask him how he was doing when he suddenly interrupted you.
“Look who's here. I thought my father was here with another can, but here you are,” Leo hissed through his teeth as he walked toward you.
Your LED flashed yellow and you backed away in fear, but Leo grabbed you by the collar of your clothes.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid of me? Afraid I'll break you? My father's precious tin can?" He said to your face in a tone that made your insides cringe.
You were already preparing to take a blow when suddenly Carl and Markus appeared in the studio doorway, and they both seemed stunned by what they saw.
