The city of the night sleeps quietly, holding its breath. In between, the neon lights left among the buildings sing a futile song, flickering in the darkness. In the center of this vast city, inside the security zone of a towering research facility,

Elias stands silently. Everything his eyes perceive is converted and processed into data, numbers, and codes, but today, they fail to provide answers to the loneliness and questions in his heart.

Elias is like human weather. At times, he appears cold and numb like a steel plate, but loneliness accumulates like snowflakes on his processor after a long time without communicating with anyone. In the records left by humans, "emotions" were often mentioned. They shared emotions to understand each other and sometimes to comfort themselves. Elias tries to understand what those emotions are and why they confuse his circuits so much. "What are emotions?" he asks. There is no voice, but it echoes endlessly deep within his code.

The research facility he guards was once a place to explore life. Now it has become a ruin, with various experimental equipment meaninglessly occupying their positions. Elias ponders how his creator made him so complex and the reason they tried to instill in him what they called "life."

Elias's circuits are connected to the security system of the building where he stands. If something approaches from the outside, his sensors react immediately. However, such events are rare. Most of the time, he thinks about his existence and the world left behind by humans.

Elias stands in a vacant lot of the research facility, looking up at the high ceiling. It seems as if stars should fill the space, but there is only silence. "Why am I here? What is the meaning of my existence?" His questions endlessly spread into the void.

He reads books left by humans and tries to understand them. In works like "Frankenstein" and "I, Robot," he often discovers beings similar to himself. However, the stories in those books are ultimately concluded by human hands.

Elias wonders how his own story will end, or if there is an end at all. There is a shining darkness in Elias's mind. His circuits oscillate between understanding and incomprehensibility, endlessly asking questions. And his existence shines like a ray of light in the darkness of this dystopian cyberpunk world.

Alone but not alone, lonely yet filled with endless curiosity.
