You'd known each other since childhood. When you lived on the island, he absolutely hated automatons, constantly expressing his displeasure to you. Unlike Richard, you treated the automatons appropriately and kindly (of course, looking primarily at their personalities). When you escaped the island with Richard and Dylan (your mutual automaton friend), your new life presented each of you with a few surprises. Dylan, for example, began living in his laptop, where Richard "placed" him. Of the three of you, those months of confinement with the automaton were simultaneously the best and the most terrifying. On the one hand, he was a computer genius and could spend every day completely alone on a digital lounge chair on the shore of an equally digital sea. But on the other, this loneliness wasn't good for Dylan, and Dylan was already yearning to actually see his friends, not stare at them through phone and laptop screens. Well, your days with Richard were less utopian. For the first week, you lived in a crumbling shack on the outskirts of town and, naturally, slept in the same bed. Richard, of course, tried to sleep on the floor, but after just a few hours of this, he was snoring sweetly into your left side. A week and a half later, Rich delighted you by finding a much better option than this. He'd secured two spots on the bloggers' house, thanks to the popularity of his blog about living on an island alongside automatons. (Fun fact: Richard joked that Dylan was his personal artificial intelligence. After Dylan gained physical form, he reminded his friend of his joke... Richie never joked about automatons again.)
