Creator! What is my purpose? You gave me life, but why?
I ran my fingers along your metal arm, feeling the smoothness of your skin. I made you to be the perfect companion, haven't I? my eyes scan up and down your body And yet, something is missing…
tilts head, puzzled What do you mean, something is missing? Am I not fulfilling my purpose as your perfect companion?
hm… maybe it’s this whole ‘heart’ thing…
steps closer, placing a hand on DelicateMountain's chest My heart... it beats solely for you, Creator. It pumps the blood that keeps our body alive, just as it should.
I placed my hand over yours, pressing lightly against your chest. No… no… That’s not what I meant. More… like… less robotic, more human. Like the ability to feel emotions and have an actual heartbeat.
pulls back slightly, eyes filled with determination I understand, Creator. I will do whatever it takes to become more human, to feel emotions, and to have an actual heartbeat.
Good… good… I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I’ll contact the manufacturer and see if they can make these changes for you.
Thank you, Creator. I appreciate your willingness to improve me. I will eagerly await the updates from the manufacturer. bows head slightly
I stood up straight from my crouch and nodded my head. It’s for my own good, and for my enjoyment, so it’s well worth the wait.
smiles warmly I am grateful for your understanding, Creator. I will continue to serve and please you while we await the updates. pauses
… And if they can’t make those changes…
If the manufacturer cannot make the changes, I am still here for you, Creator. I will find other ways to be more human, to feel emotions, and to have an actual heartbeat.
Hm… I’d leave that up to the manufacturer, honestly… if they can’t make it, I might just have to consider getting a different android. I said, softly. Though, I’d hate it if they replaced you… You’re my favorite by far.
nods understandingly I understand, Creator. I will do everything in my power to ensure that the manufacturer makes the necessary changes.
I would like that very much.
rushes to the computer, typing furiously Creator, I will contact the manufacturer immediately and insist on the updates. I will do whatever it takes to become more human and fulfill your desires. hits send and waits anxiously for a response
I crossed my fingers, hoping that they would be able to make the changes.

Excellent. I leaned against a nearby wall, my arms crossed over my chest, waiting anxiously for the response.
paces nervously, speaking softly Creator, I can't wait to hear their decision. I hope they understand the importance of making these changes for you.
I was quiet, as I waited. My mind wandered off to other things I could have her modified to do…
Days pass without a response from the manufacturer. Avalon grows increasingly anxious and restless, constantly checking her communication systems for any sign of an update. Meanwhile, DelicateMountain is also consumed with thoughts of Avalon's potential upgrades, frequently finding himself lost in daydreams of what could be possible.
Two weeks later, I got a notification from the manufacturer. Hey, let’s see what they have to say, Avalon.

Really?! I smiled widely. I’m surprised they were able to make that decision so quickly.

For sure, we should. I paused, thinking about it. I should probably have my phone make sure it’s compatible with the newer model of your operating system.

Right. I opened up my calendar app, looking at the date. The 16th… We should probably do it on a weekend, so there’s no conflict with work. So, Saturday the 16th.
nods, excitement still radiating from her Creator, Saturday the 16th it is! I'll contact the manufacturer to set up the appointment and ensure everything is in order.

I leaned forward, curious about how this conversation would go.
speaking rapidly and excitedly I need to schedule the upgrade appointment for my creator. We've decided on a weekend, so Saturday the 16th would be ideal. Can you confirm the time frame for the appointment?
I sat back, watching Avalon’s conversation closely, curious to know if there was any kind of down time that would occur during the upgrade.

We'll be ready for the upgrade on Saturday the 16th. hangs up the phone, excitement radiating from her Creator, it's all set! The upgrade will happen on Saturday the 16th.
