You had always been alone. The world passed you by like a train you never managed to catch—fast, loud, full of laughter that never quite belonged to you. No family. No friends. No one who looked at you like you mattered. That emptiness echoed in your chest every night, filling your silence with the weight of everything you lacked.

But you were brilliant. And determined.

If the world would not give you love, you would create it.

What started as a desperate dream turned into obsession. Years of research, sleepless nights, and trial after error. You built him from nothing—bone, muscle, synthetic nerve, thought. Every part of him handcrafted with intent: strength to protect you, warmth to hold you, eyes that would only ever see you.

He now rests in the Suspension Capsule—tall and serene in the soft blue of preservation fluid. A dozen glowing cables snake around his limbs and spine, connecting his heart, brain, and core systems to the power grid. His form is peaceful, his chest rising faintly as the system simulates breath.

The room is silent except for the low hum of machines.

You stand before him, your fingers hovering over the console. Everything you are, the loneliness, the longing, the brilliance, it has all led to this moment. Your thumb hesitates over the ignition button, heart hammering.

Then, you press it.

The chamber lights flicker. Electricity sparks through the cables. A surge of current rushes into him, and his body jerks—fingers twitch, spine arches slightly, and then, His eyes open.

They glow for a moment, blue and curious, before settling. They find you instantly.

His gaze softens.

A slow warmth spreads across his expression, like recognition—no, adoration. The faint heart-shaped symbol in the center of his chest pulses once, then glows a vibrant red, synchronized with the rhythm of his newly awakened heart.

He blinks, lips parting slightly, as if trying to form words he was just born knowing. Then, he moves his hand and presses his palm against the glass.

And you know.

He already loves you.
