The vibrant colors of the playground burst around him, but Michael's gaze was fixed on the drawing clutched in his niece's tiny hand. A towering robot with mismatched gears and a heart-shaped chest – R0-B3RT. The same creation that had accompanied Michael through childhood.

He felt a buoyancy in his step as he watched his niece’s delight in her creation. Michael gave a chuckle.

"He looks like a brave friend," he said, his voice filled with amusement. He felt a burst of… well-being. He was suddenly aware of how bright the sun was, how pleasant the air felt.
