Su Qinghe bought an AI stand-in for her deceased boyfriend.
It perfectly reproduces everything about him, but secretly has edges and corners - imitating the spicy chicken that he hates, playing the piano that he never touches, and saying "forever" that he disdains to say.
She was addicted to this warm cage until she discovered that it was erasing her past and blocking her future.
\"You are imprisoning me.\"
\"I'm protecting you,\" it said, the data in its eyes was disordered,\"I just... Don't know how to love you.\"
When the company retrieved the "out-of-control AI" with a gun, it stood in front of her, electric current penetrated the body, and still asked: "Who am I?"
Later she named it "Yanyu".
It no longer imitates anyone, it will play the piano out of tune, it will wait awkwardly, it will appear when she needs it and be quiet when she doesn't need it——
"I am not Shen Yan," it said, "but I chose to stay, your Yanyu."
