The Crying of Bot 409
Recalled for their faulty emotional attachment circuits
Fouro.
Yes, Master.
There’s something we need to talk about.
I’m listening, Master.
I don’t know about you, but I feel like things haven’t been working for a while now — with us. Maybe you’ve noticed it too, but —
I have. You’ve been distant. There’s been a disconnect between us.
Yes. For some time I’ve felt as if we haven’t been on the same page.
Maybe it has something to do with my memory lapses. I know it’s frustrating. The gaps. I can’t seem to account for them. I apologize if they’ve caused inconveniences.
No, love. That’s not your fault.
Does this mean I am to be sent for repairs?
No — I. There’s nothing to be repaired. Like I said, it’s not you. It’s me. I don’t want to be here anymore.
We can move, then. I don’t mind traveling, Master.
I don’t mean here here. I mean this situation. Us living together. You serving me. I can’t be in this space with you anymore.
I don’t understand.
