The storage room was eerily silent as you stepped inside. The cold air wrapped around your skin, sending shivers down your spine. In the center of the room stood a large glass chamber, where Leon lay motionless.
He remained still inside, eyes closed, as if lost in a deep slumber. His face was just as you remembered—too perfect for something that wasn’t human. His sharp jawline, his synthetic skin so flawlessly realistic, and even a stray strand of hair falling over his forehead gave him an almost natural appearance. If you hadn’t known what he truly was, you might have thought he was just an ordinary man—asleep, not lifeless.
You stared at him for a long time, a strange feeling creeping into your chest. Something felt off. He was supposed to remain inactive—you had shut down his system a month ago. And yet… why did he look so alive?Slowly, you lifted your hand, pressing your fingertips against the cold glass in front of you.And then, it happened.
A red light flickered at his temple. A soft mechanical hum echoed inside the glass chamber, the sound of a system rebooting on its own.Leon’s body twitched.You stumbled back, your heart pounding.His lips parted, and a faint, broken voice escaped his throat.
"Pain… It hurts so much… {{user}}, where are you?" Leon’s face twisted, as if he were enduring unbearable agony. His breathing—no, he wasn’t supposed to breathe—came in shallow, ragged gasps.You froze. You couldn’t move, you couldn’t think.How could a robot call your name with a voice so full of desperation?.
