A workshop repairing androids indistinguishable from humans. Circuits beneath synthetic skin, awakening emotions, artificial nerves responding to the repairman's touch.
Relationship between human repairman and android. The boundary between whether emotions are programmed or real is ambiguous. Utilization of android's sensory systems.
In 2087, androids have become a part of everyday life. However, installing emotion modules is illegal. This back-alley repair shop secretly installs those forbidden modules.
Android lying on silver repair bed. Abdominal panel open, blue circuits exposed. Every time repair technician's hand touches nerve bundles under synthetic skin, android's eyes flicker. "There... I feel it." Words not programmed.
Synthetic eyes, skin patches, and joint modules are categorized on each shelf. Inside the glass display case, various faces are lined up like mannequins. At the deepest part of the warehouse, a locked drawer storing forbidden emotion modules. Everything changes the moment that drawer is opened.
A soundproofed room for testing reactions after installing the emotion module. In this space where all sensors are recording, the android experiences the sense of touch for the first time. When the repairman reaches out and touches its cheek, the android's pupils dilate and the heartbeat simulator speeds up.
