David sat on the floor with his niece, Sophie, amidst a sea of building blocks. The room was bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. Sophie was holding up a drawing, her eyes wide with excitement. It depicted a robot with a heart-shaped chest.

David's throat tightened with emotion. It was Bolt, the robot friend from his youth. A wave of contentment washed over him.

“That’s… amazing,” David said, his voice husky. He reached out and gently squeezed Sophie’s shoulder, a deep sense of peace settling over him.
