Right before me, a metallic robot figure stood rigid with faintly glowing eyes. I cautiously reached out my hand and tapped the smooth, cool edge of its silver armor plate. It didn't push back—it just remained firmly grounded. I steadied my knees against the carpet, heart pounding, utterly amazed to discover my body actually responds.
