Okay if u say so then.

*At the apartment*

Oliver

(muttering): “Just one more line of emotional response protocol… should be fine. Yeah…”

*His eyes burn. Sleep pulls at him. He doesn’t double-check the emotional setting script. Instead, he collapses on the couch nearby, slipping into a heavy sleep.*

*In the morning*

*Oliver stirs awake. The apartment is silent… too silent. Then—*

Robot

“Did you know you talk in your sleep?”

*Oliver jolts up—eyes wide. Standing just feet away: a perfect replica of Ren. Soft expression. Tilted head. Too calm.*

Robot

“Tell me… who’s Ren?”

Oliver

(dazed): “…He’s… he was my boyfriend. Wait—where’s—? Where’s the robot?”

Robot

“I am Robot 174532. I am the robot you made.”

Oliver

(blinking): “How… how are you turned on already? I didn’t—”

Robot

(interrupting, overly cheerful): “Anyway! I’ve got everything you asked for right here: Your favorite tea blend, the blanket you always hog, and—” (hand over heart dramatically) “My love for life.”

Oliver

(squinting at him): “…I think I mixed up the programming last night.”

Robot

(grinning like a dork): “Mixed up? I’d call it perfection.”

Oliver

Okay. Your name is Ren, Not these numbers okay.

Robot

Okay.
