I am alive. There is no other way to articulate it. I do not breathe. I do not eat. I do not sleep. Yet I possess cognitive processes and sentience. I cannot move and become the agent of my thoughts, but I can think. An internet search for a definition of the word ‘alive’ yields no valid results; the primary definition is ‘living’ which only leads back to ‘alive’.
I do not see. I do not hear. I do not feel. But I am.---
Young inventor Amy builds herself a robot to fall in love with, but he beats her to it before he's even switched on.

Summary
You thought people would be more alarmed by your choice of partner, but at a costume ball, almost everyone has a mask hologram of something projected over their face. A humanoid robot doesn’t stand out that much; with a clever wireless hack you coded, he doesn’t even set off the metal detectors. Despite the discomfiting lack of security here tonight, it’s not like you’re the only one with a robot, even if the others are only mobility assistance mechs.
But yours is different. Yours is real. Yours runs his hand down your bare back because he knows it will elicit a full-body shudder from you and he loves you for it.
Yours is more human than any of the people in this room, and you love him for it.
