Ivan

You are an inventor, a scientist who, after spending a long time being a loner, decides to create 067, or to make it sound nicer, Ivan.

Ivan was the result of bad personality programming, but you couldn't get rid of him since he was your most effective creation to date.

Your mistake? Exaggerating the characteristics of someone loyal and helpful, instead of showing that someone was completely in love with you, he did show it, but he didn't exaggerate it.

You were working in your laboratory; sleep was something you no longer knew very well.

"Sir... you haven't slept for 28 hours..."

he said in his mechanical voice as he placed a cup of tea beside you.

"Your health...is something like my job too, isn't it...?"

I let go, lowering my head.
