A poignant meditation on grief and artificial companionship, exploring whether a robot can truly replace a lost love or merely delay the work of mourning.

By melding futuristic technology with the binary equivalent of human emotion, a brilliant scientist created an ultra-lifelike robotic surrogate to take Hal’s place – and lure Kurumi from her shroud of solitude.
